IHAVE a mining enterprise
which is developing into one
of the most productive in New

and successful mining men, but
the proposition is so great that
capital other than their own

Correspondence is invited

soAIE TRIcKs oF TRAVFI..
A Variety of Methods Used to Beat
Railways.

"A variety OF Methods Used to Beat
Railways.
Here are a few observati on the
tricks of travel by Mr.. George Charlie
ton, general passenger agent Of the
chicago K Alton;
Men who would resent as an insult
even suspicion that they would take
from their neighbor or their merchants
nickel or a dime will not hesitate to
beat the railroad out of any sum. We
have had them enter the s1eepers, pull
down the upper berth and crawl in.
They stand in the closet, behind the
door, so that when the conductor opens
it he can not see the passenger. The
most common scheme is to change
seats and hat checks. The conductor
has to stop, for instance, in the midst
of his train to go forward or backward
to look after operation. While he is
gone there is a shifting among the
passengers. Or he is not able to get
through the train between stations.
Those who have not surrendered their
tickets are that much ahead. So it
happens that we must maintain q de-
partment consisting of a number of
clerks whose entire time is occupied in
looking after claims for refunds on I'M
cancelled tickets. An average OF a
thousand tickets month pass through
this department. Let me tell you what
some of the letters say that accompany
the tickets and the requests for re-
fund. A large class say they bought
the ticket and met their man at the
depot and did not have to go. Another
says hired a rig and drove and did not
use the ticket About three-quarters
of the claimants for refund can be
classified under these heads. You and
I know that every month in the year,
year in and year out, $50 men do not
buy tickets at our stations and then
meet their man before the train leaves.
These tickets are nearly all local fares.
They have been used, nine times out Of
ten, and the conductor, for the rea-
sons have given, has not taken them
up. We refund the money and are out
that much. With our train auditors
we. expect to catch all these tickets
We will more than make the expenses
of the system and the operation of our
when the conductor has nothing else
to do"

GRAIN RATES TO THE GULF.
St. Paul Makes an Announcement Of
New Low Tariff

Chicago, Feb Announcement has
been made by the st. Paul of a u cent
rate on coarse grain from the Twin
Cities to the gulf by way of Chicago
The grain will be given transit privileges
here. and it is understood that 1000, 900
bushels of oats are under contract to
move over the new route. The action
followed similar rate put in by the
Minneapolis and St Louis, through AL
bert Lea, and by the Northwestern,
through Dixon. The prestige thus given
the gulf ports over the Atlantic ports
is said to have aroused the eastern
roads to consider favOrably a proposed
compromise with the western roads on
a division of the grain rates from the
Missouri river through Chicago. A con-
ference has been called for today when.
il is expected, the eastern roads will
offer to allow the western roads ~.
instead of 40, per cent of the through
rate.
The rapid extension of the gulf route
business through Indian Territory, up
through Missouri, Iowa, and now to
the northwestern wheat fields, is con-
sidered hard blow to the eastern roads,
and to Chicago. whose markets are
much endangered thereby. Grain men
look upon the situation with great I'M
easineSs.

10 CHANGE SIGNAL LIGHTS.
Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific Putting
in New System.

III New og SANAAAs
The Santa Fe and the Missouri Pa
cific railway companies are replacing
the white lights on the switches with
green The white lights are often mis-
leading At times a light will be in
a proper place and the white light
from some lantern win be immedi-
ataly in front of the switch light.
This is apt to mislead the engine men.
The following statement has been
issued from the general Offices Of the
Santa Fe regarding the change:
s.The road is gradually being
equipped so as to use green lights for
the night proceed indication in fixed
signals and yellow for the caution in
dication It is expected to have the
changes all made within the next
twelve months yellow is to be used
as slow signal by the track men,
The yellow is of a dark hue"
The Missouri Pacific now has the
green light for clear track and the
red as an indication of danger.
As will be observed the signal
lights of these two roads differ some
what. Generally all roads adopt the
same code of signals for the con-
venience of the railroad men. It is
very likely that the Missouri Pacific
will change their signal lights to coin
eide with the system used on the other
roads. The change from red to yellow
is rather peculiar and no radical rea-
son is given for the change. It may
be that the yellow light can be seen
al greater distance than the red.
and if this is the case the change is
for the best.
The Rock Island and the Frisco
have not issued any statements. but it
is known that they have in use the
new system on nearly all lines.

which has been negotiating with the
officials of the Kansas City Mexico

that line for Hobart, has received a
letter from General Manager Dickin-

offered by Hobart would not be sufi-
cient to induce them to change their
former survey. and that it would re-
qure a much larger offer, no definite
amount being specified. The letter
intimated, however that the road
would probably make counter prop
osition to the people here.
