Fred Grant Resembles His Father


Col Fred Grant grows more and more
like his father every day, writes Frank
Carpenter. He has, at forty-six years OF
age, about the same features his father
had at the close OF the war He has the
same square face. the same blue eyes and
the same quiet manner which were so
characteristic OF our greatest general and
be is Just as unassuning. Talking casually
with him you would never imagine that
his life had been one Of thrilling expe-
riences; that he had been in five great
battles before he was thirteeniy years OF
age. that he had done hard fighting with
the Indians on our western frontiers: that
he had been one of the honoFed guests
with Gen. Grant on his tour around the
world: that he had been United states
minister to Austria. and that he Is DOW
one OF the three police commissioners OF
the greatest and most turbulent city ON

A RAILROAD TO RANDSBURG
May Be Built by the Southern Pacific
Company
The Business Will Not Now Warrant a.
Road, but the Sections Prospects
Are Very Bright

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. All. +.
Huntington returned today from Rands-
burg, which is just now the center of
great deal Of mining excitement He ad-
mits the truth of the story that the
Southern Pacific has in contemplation
the construction of railway line from
Mojave to the mining town in ques-
tion, and volunteered the information
that the company already has party OF
surveyors in the field making a prelim-
mary survey for the projected road.
This is not saying that we shall
build into Randsburg Immediately"
said Mr.. Huntington, for we have no
such intention. We have simply un-
dertaken the preliminary steps that we
might be prepared to construct the road
without loss of time should the occa-
sion warrant it. Just what we shall do
in the matter will depend largely on the
development Of Randsburg. At present
there is not enough business to make a
railroad pay The prospects of the new
mining section are very bright however,
and should Randsburg develop into the
important mining center which it gives
every promise of doing we shall undoubt-
edly build a road over the line now being
surveyed"
Mr.. Huntington said the distances be-
tween Mojave and Randsburg have been
very inaccurately stated. He thinks the
company can connect the two points
with rail line not more than thirty
miles long.

that Coils p. Huntington has a corps

vantageous route he Will ask the gov
