An Interesting Interview with
 II. C. Herrick.

The Tucson Citizen aek knowledged s
 very agreeable visit ffoR II. c. Her. rick Of Fairbsnk, and ssys of him :- "Nr. Herrick was a member Of tue last legislature from Cocbise county and by the exercise Of the same worthy trait. which have characterized his entire life, won me,ited praise from all with
 whom he came in contact.
 He is Tn Tucson, on his return trip fro om Los Angeles, where he was called by inc dangerous illness of his Is year old son, Ii. C. Herrick, Jr. Sometime ago, while engaged in play with other boy-, young !Ierrick was struck m the head with . bunch of grass roots, and As s result Of the bruises inflicted, a very delicate surgical operation be- came necessary.
 Df. Fleming, oi Los Angeles, noted expert on brain diseases. has just com plr,ed the necessary operations and the boy i. now rapidly improving, there bsiLg every probability that his hearing, which i, was feared he would lose. will be preservsd. Much praise Is due the unceasing attention Q! phy. .icisns and nurses.
 Recently Mr. Herrick ba. formed a mining partnership with MT. W. '. Cooper, an expert on minerals and mineral ferms,iUns. TUge,h,r they are developing some extremely prom isinE properties in the vicinity of Dos. Cabezss. From extended inves,igs. tions carried on for some time past. MT. Herrick gi,6s il ss his opinion that the mountains in that par ticulsr region are simply vast natural store houses of mineral. Gold, silver and copper abound in strong, healthy large and extensive ledges; and the beautiful specimens Of gold quartz he exhibits, certainly % far ip corotor- a,ins hie conclusion.
 "There is strong probability O: q gale being coneummated very shortly, and in the eyer it j-, no doubt . ol others will follow in rapid l snccession. Mir. Herrick gives it as his opinion that capital csrnot find . more promising fsl for profitable in ve-tmen', and predicts 2 very busy ramp at Do. Cab, SIS within . short. liIns.

ON A STRIKE.
The T. NJ. X NJ. Co. Miners
 Omit Work.

No steam wss seen iesuing from the smoke stack of ,he Northwest hoist Of ,he I. NJ. X M. Co. this morn ing. The cause of the cessation Cf work is the fact that the underground miners went on & strike.
 Before the miners returned te their usual lsbors this morning Foreman Mccormick was me; with a ststeinent from them that a rsi-e Of Wsges from g 50 to 8 per day wss wanted which news was also conveyed to Superin- iscasnt Gray and the miners quit work until their demands have been con si'!ered whis the D'ins shut down pending further developments.
 The miners made tbeir demand in A
 friendly spirit no attendant excite ment created and the fact ths, the company hare not attempted to re place the strikers it is probabls they wIll gsin their point or the mstter be satisfactorily adjusted.
 Su?t. Gray wa. seen by PRosrEc- IT. representative today s; th cyanide mill where wsrk is being vigorously pushed another 30 ton tank being placed in portion. The strike does not affect the mill hands ss g and g 90 is being pail. Mir.

SCARCITY OF MONEY.
Decimating the Membership of the
Order of Odd Fellows.
THEY CANNOTPAY THEIR DUES
The "Odd Fellows Souvenir" the National
Organ. Favors Free Silver.-They Have
800 900 Members.
Industrial Leader.l


The following editorial is taken
from the March, 1896, number Of the
Odd Fellows Souvenir. the national or
gan of the great fraternity of Odd
Fellows. In a personal interview
with the editor we are informed that
this editorial is the result of much
consideration by many of the most
conservative members; that this ques-
tion has been under consideration for
more than year and the official data
at hand is so convincing that it is
useless to attempt to claim that the
present monetary conditions are work
ing great injury to the order. In
part, editor NJ. f. Dowd said: 1.-THE
present none tary condit tion has been
a great injury to our order. The Off.
cial data received at this Office show
that we lost in 1898, Sc, ,8S6 members
by suspension for non-payment Of
dues and in 1894 the number dropped
was 48, 339, total of IS, 225 for the two
years, and it is believed that the Off
cial reports for 1895 when competed
will show nearly as many suspensions
as in the years 1881 combined. In.
1893 we initiated 72,SO7, while in 1894
we initiated 63.845, decrease of near
ly 5000. We have about 100000 me M
bers in the United States and terri
tories"
Eyes, they are all voters. Before a
man can become an Odd Fellow he is
required to sign a'contract which is
binding alike upon himself and the
order, hence it is necessary that he
should be q years Of age. When the
situation is properly unders TODD be-
lieve the American people will de-
mand free coinage OF silver at the
ratio of 16 to l."
The Souvenir does not handle po-
liticaI questions. i. e., from a partisan
standpoint, nor is the ques tion Of
fiance partisan question in any
sense of the word. 1t is, however, a
| question that vitality affects the great
order of Odd Fellows. This is a great
benevolent institution and anything
that retards the progress Of the order
is subject entitled to. the fullest
| consideration. A contraction OF our
currency makes money dear and thus
! If the purchasing power of money be.
comes great the price of labor ana the
products of labor become less valu-
able: hence, ii the purchasing power
| Of the American dollar is twice as
great under the gold standard as it
would be under free coinage of both
| gold and silver at the ratio Of 16 to
| then it will be twice as hard for the
members to pay their quarterly dues
under the present gold standard as it
would be under the free coinage of
both gold and silver. 1t is also twice
as hard for those outside of the order
to pay the price of admission. When
we look over the reports of the vari-
/ Gus jurisdictions and see the thous-
ands Of brothers who are being sus.
| pended from the benefits of the order
ny their inability to pay their dues it
