OF the gold prospects in the Philip

Gold has been found along the

natives bring in both placer and quartz
gold. They say there is plenty of it in
the interior, but that they don't know
how TO work it The natives have
brought rock into Manila that fairly
glittered with gold, and have also
brought IN coarse pieces of placer gold
which they claim they got along the
creeks. 1t is such exhibits as these
that have started miners union in

Montana regiment started the ball

MAY BUILD A LINE.
SeabOard Air Line Determined to Have
Northern Outlet.

WASHINGTON, September ESPECIAL.
The seaboard Air Line is making siren
uous efforts to secure a connection with
Washington. IL was stated ON the au-
thOrity OF a high railroad official here to-
dag that the company Will build line
from Richmond TO this city. The Sea
board Air Line is now trying 10 nego-
tiate with the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac railway, but it is said that
progress satisfactory 10 the SeabOard
people is not being made and that the line
between Richmond and this city is under
serious consideration. To be ready for
any emergency surveyors are already
planning the route.
A recent persistent rumor in railway cir
cles has been To the effect that the Sea
board and the Baltimore and Ohio will
combine business when the new link is
built, to meet the combination, more or
less open and generally understood, of the
Southern and the Pennsylvania The Sea-
board wants 10 secure the Northern con-
nectiOn and the Baltimore and Ohio wishes
TO get into the South and such a combna-
ton would be the logical outcome of the
business necessities OF both systems.
These large moves by the Seaboard Air
Line If they are successful, will with the
recent developments Of the system, make
it a much more important factor in the
railway situation of the South. Until re
Gently il has had outlets neither 10 the
