GOODMAN AND THE SCALPERS
The Byrne Case Not Regarded as
Decisive
Ticket Brokers Are Not Partial to Litigation
But They Don't Want scaIped
Tickets Confiscated

rSAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 22.-T. II.
Goodman, general ticket and passenger
agent OF the Southern Pacific company,
has taken pains to call tho attention of
ticket soalpers all over the coast to the
result OF the trial of Conductor Hugh
Byrne at Los Angeles, who was arrested
at the instance of Los Angeles scalpers for
contiscstin the coupons Of scalped tick
ct reading over eastern roads. The Sec
ond trial of Conductor Byrne resulted in
his acquittal, and the passenger depart
ment Of the Southern Pacific company
has taken the verdict Of the jury a. set
lemenr of the question in dispute. Tick
ct scalpers all over the coast are now re-
ceiving circulars which contain . history
Of the case.
The ticket brokers in this city declare
that the acquittal OF Conductor Byrne
does not settle the point in dispute and
that no one knows it better than Gen
Passenger Agent T. H. Goodman.
"The ticket brokers are not anxious to
have the legality of their business made
the Inject of supreme court decision"
said a mem Der of the ticket scalping fra
tsrnity, "but we are anxious to test the
right of railroad company to lift
ticket reading over foreign road. The
ticket brokers' have nothing to gain by
litigation. Should the supreme court de-
eide that ticket scalping 10 legitimate
business and that raiload tickets can be
bought. sold and exchanged, the scalpers
would not profit by the decision, for ev-
cry bootbl ok in the country would en-
gage in the business within month.
The ticket scalping fraternity therefore
is not partial to litigation of any sort. bat
we hope to prove to the Southern Pacific
company before long that il it has the
right to confiscate ncalped tickets, the
right is limited to the cOnfiscation OF its
own tickets and not those reading over
connecting roads. The Los Angeles bro
kers are thinking of testing the matter in
another way. If they DO not, We will
test it IN this city,"

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22.-Quits an
amount Of interest has been created in
local mining circles following upon the
departure for Corea of two noted mining
engineers, J. K. Eveleth of England ana
A. W. Deshlei OF Detroit. The two min
ing experts left for Japan on the last trip
of the Coptic. Both of these gentlemen
are on the same mission. though they
represent different syndicates. 1t has
been learned that they have been sent by
two wealthy syndicates to inspect and
investigate the property situated upon
the sites of some of the most ancient
mines in the history OF the world. They
are in Corea and China.
A great deal of discussion concerning
these mines has taken place in late years
and this has developed much interest in
these far away deposits of fabulous riches.
This has extended to all circles Of miners
and investors. and there has been great
deal of speculation as to the possibilities
for the development of the mines.
As result it app ars that practical
investigation of them is TO be made.
Both Mr.. Desbler and Mr.. Eveleth were
interrocsteu by local mining men before
reticent in regard to their intentions.
further than to admit that their trip to
Corea was in regard to mines. Both said
they were not fully informed as to the
nature OF the work in store for them and
that they would not be- until they reach
ed the other side of the Pacific. They
have sailed under sealed orders, as 1t
we're. But little definite knowledge has
ever been secured concerning the mines
OF Corsa. but they are reported to be very
rich in gold. They are situated in the
wild mountainous districts of the Her
nit Kingdom, and have been worked in
primitive way only. The, rock taken
out has, however, proved to be very rich.
1t is generally believed that the king
Of Corea has offered Inducements to pros
pectors to develop the mines on the pay
ment to the king of certain percentage
Of the profits OF the enterprise. In fact,
the supposition 10 that the man behind
the whole proposition is Clarence Great
house, formerly Of this city. who has been
for some time the adviser of the king OF
