ROAD TO GOLD MIN Es.
New Connection for the Santa Fe Is
to Be Constructed.

San Bernardino. Cal. Oct 14.-It is
now practically assured that the rich
Searchlight camp of southern Nevada is
to be entered by a railroad For some
time past a number of railroad men
have been investigating conditions on
the California side of the Colorado river
with view of running a line from
Purdy, in San Bernardino county to the
Searchlight camp, distance of twenty
eight miles.
The building of this road will open up
one of the richest mineral fields in Cali
fornia and Nevada, and will enable
owners to work the low grade gold
properties that are now lying idle Be
tween Needles and Eldorado Canon
there are hundreds of mines that will
produce largely of gold, silver, lead and
copper, if conditions are right. Condi-
tions will be made so by the construc-
ton of railroad connections with the out
side world.
The Searchlight camp, one of the big
gold producers of the west, is now great
ly handicapped by reason of lack of
railroad facilities. Operators in that
section will welcome the new road.
From a semi-official source, it is
learned that actual work will be under
way within sixty days.

Permanently Enioined From Selling
G. A. R. Excursion Tickets.

Washington. oct. IA decision of
sweeping Importance to the ticket
scaIpers and the railroad passenger
business generally has been delivered
by Justice Hagner, of eile Equity court
of the District of Columbia, who per
marently enjoined 33 of the local ticket
brokers from selling Grand Army spec
ial excursion tickets issued by the Penn
sylyania. Southern. Baltimore & Ohio
and Chesapeake & Ohio railroads. The
defense of the brokers was that they
were pursuing a legal licensed broker
age business and that the railways in
combining in the establishment of a

campment 70 certifying return tickets.
etc. violated the Sherman antitrust
law The court held that tickets sold
by the roads on account of the Grand
Army encampment bore contracts sign
ed by the purchasers in the presence of
a witness. and were absolutely void
when used by any other than the origi-
nal purchasers The tickets distinctly
read that any one except the original
purchasers attempting to use them
would be subjected to prosecution for
forgery The contract signed by the or
iginal purchaser is absolute, according
to the court and any violation of it
constituted fraud, on which the SUI -
bar for the injunction properly was
based The court declared, that the con-
tentions of the complaining roads were
tenable.
AS to the claim of the defendants that
the roads violated the antitrust law,
the court held that the Joint ticket
agency could not be considered in that
light as the agency had nothing to do
with the fixing of rates. Further. the
defendants had shown that they were
violating the law and could not press
