RAILROAD NOTES.
Retirement of a Well Known Southern
Pacific Official--Mining Map.

1t has just transpired that Train
Agent Gratten, who has been employed
by the Southern Pacific company to
watch the ticket brokers in this city,
has been retired. Gratten has been here
for several years, having come down
from San Francisco during the Mid
winter fair. His business was to keep
watch on the ticket brokers and to spot
anyone buying a scalpers' ticket. He
used to accompany the Southern Pa
cific east bound trains as far as Cotton
and the north bound as far as San Fer
nando for the purpose of helping the
conductor to detect the purchasers of
scalpers' tickets.
The cause of his removal has not
yet been made known, although it is
rumored in railroad circles that his work
of late has not been satisfactory to the
company. It is limited that Gratten had
an arrangement with certain brokers
whereby they were sure not to have
any inconvenience occur to purchasers
of their tickets. Be that as 1t may, it
is certain that Gratten has been removed
and it is stated on good authority that
his successor is to be Don Cameron,
who is we'll konwn in this city, and who
will arrive from San Francisco today
for the purpose of entering upon his
new duties.

and until that is done, and the bond
accepted, all proceedings are to be
stayed.
Now once again the enterprising plain

moments, in chasing himself around

spirits like himself who will stack up
