to burn coke there within a few

ing to build railroad from San An

coke.
This will be an important thing for
all the mining country in the west as
at present no first class coking coal is

coke from Pennsylvania and Alabama
is over S12 per ton when the material

buy all their coke from points east of

his ability in these lines.
NEW DEPOT FOR T. & P.
The Texas & Pacific railway is the
owner of an entire block of ground
on South Stanton street beside its right
of way which was purchased several
years ago to be used as site for a
union depot whenever the size of the
town should justify its construction.
In the opinion of the railway man
agement the opportune moment for
the erection of the depot has about ar
rived.
The block lies south of the present I.
& p. spur which connects with the San
ia Fe and Sierra Madre. and is situat-
ed between Kansas, Campbell. Sixth
and Seventh streets.
The T. & p. owns trackaSe and right
of way encircling that portion OF town
and,connecting with its main line ends
The proposed depot site is also close to
the tracks of all other railways except
the southern Pacific and it would be
no trouble for the S. p. to get its train
to and from the union depot over the
tracks owned by some other company.
1t is said now that the railway COM
pany contemplates the erection in
short time of one of the finest depot
buildings in the southwest. Its value
will equal if not exceed that of the one
at Fort Worth.

NEW COUPON TICKET.

NEW l..
T. H. Goodman, of San Francisco
general passenger agent of the South
ern Pacific, has requested the connec-
lions of that line to honor the new
form of ticket mentioned in this col
umn some time ago, which he is Civ
ing thorough test.
The new ticket is called the i'm
proved coupon ticket. Several pass
enger agents are inclined to believe
that it will eventually supersede pres
ent forms in general use. The OBJ
jectS of the ticket, as stated IN cir
cular sent out by Mr.. Goodman, in
connection with a sample ticket. are
as follows:
To reduce the number of forms of
coupon tickets now in use.
To avoid entirely the use of the
feeder or 'paster" and extension"
forms.
To simplify and facilitate the safe of
coupon tickets.
To dispense with all kinds of ticket
punches in executing coupon tickets,
except one-a special star" punch.
To minimize the loss of revenue by
the changing of destinations and lin
it's, to give the ticket auditor, by means
of an auditors stub, daily information
regarding each ticket issued, and to
give edCn ROAD. over WHICH Tie tiChcI
reads. complete information on its
own coupon of the entire route OF the
ticket.
It is the belief of the S. p. officials
that this ticket will accomplish all
these reforms. An idea of the saving
in expense of printing tickets is had
when it is stated that form No. 2. now
in use by the S. P, covers forty-two
routes, each composed of three con-
meeting roads. 'tt
Instead of having separate form of
ticket for each route, under the new
design, the roads composing Several
routes consisting of an equal number.
of roads are grouped in one ticket I'M
der headings according to their posi-
ton in the various routes. Immediate
ly below the Hat of roads are provided
spaces for indicating by the punch the
class of ticket and when baggage has
been checked.
Upon superficial examination the
ticket seems complex, when in reality
it is simple and yet ingenious, con-
tanning complete information for the
passenger the conductor and all Off
Gals concerned.

days and almost every train is even
uncomfortably loaded.
The Southern Pacific is now bringing
excursionists back from the coast and
| the trains both ways are crowded.
There were 100 eXcursionists from Chi
cago and Mississippi valley points on
the east bound train Thursday after
noon and nearly three hundred were
! on the train last night. These are
: people who went to California a
month ago on a S25 rate from Cbica-
go and st. Louis.
The Pacific coast excursions are i'm
proving every year and are helping a
great deal to make the passenger SER
vice pay expenses, which it is claimed.
=, it has not done since the first train
went over the road. The Texas and
Pacific road is also getting all the
passenger business it can handle and
expects an increase. One hopeful i'm
provement is the number of home
seekers and business people now in
speeding the west. Many farmers are
going into Arizona and New Mexico
besides many to Hawaii and the Phil
ippines.
The enterprise of the railroads in
bringing the east and west SO close
together, so far as time is concerned
at least, has enabled the common peo-
pie to travel more and the west is
gaining many hundreds of citizens
thereby. 1t is said that nearly one
hundred families have moved into Ell
Paso alone since January l and pro-
pose making this city their future
home Whether the carnival had
hand in this movement or not is not
known but the increase since that
event has been very heavy.

The Phelps-Dodge company is fast
completing its arrangements to build
the Bisbee road into Ell Paso and the
announcement comes from the east
that The Ell Paso portion of the road
will be built from this city west in
stead OF coming in here from the west
as was at first supposed.
The company has already placed an
order for 10000 tons of steel at an east
ern mill. for delivery at Ell Paso-
The presumption is that as. the steel
is to be delivered in Ell Paso the road
will be built from here west. At any
rate this settles the question as to
where the eastern terminus of the road
will be and fulfils the predictions of
The Herald made long ago that Ell Paso
would be the terminus and headquar-
