TO MAKE EXTENSIVE
PROSPECTING TRIP
j. Il. HERRICK AND c. o. ERWIN
TO BE OUT IN THE HILLS
SIX MONTHS.

Probably one of the most extensive
prospecting trips undertaken in Ne
vada in many day is that planned
by ]. l.. Herrick and G. o. Erwin.
The two gentlemen left yesterday
afternoon in wagon for Hamilton.
They intend prospecting all sections
of the state and have an elaborate
equipment, their stock of provisions
being most extensive.
Mr.. Erwin represents Kansas
City, Missouri, syndicate of capital
lists, who are greatly interested in
the resources of the state and are
anxious to obtain number of hold
ings. Mr.. Herrick recently dissolved
partnership with his brother, the lat
ter taking over the business of their
office in this city The two will pros
pect at Hamilton first and will then
proceed to another section of the
country They expect to be out in
the hills for six months.
Mrs. Herrick left yesterday MORN
ing for Bisbee, Arizona, and will re-
main there with friends until her
husband finishes the prospecting trip.
They will then go to Berkeley, Cal,
where they will reside. Mr.. Herrick
intends to open a mining office in
the college town. He is firm in his
belief that he and Mr.. Erwin will
make some good strikes during their
half-year prospecting trip.

POSTAL OPERATORS IN
CHICAGO JOIN STRIKERS

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-The opera
tors of the Postal Telegraph compa-
nv. 500 in number, struck tonight at
n few minutes after o'clock. rms
with the 100 men out from the Of
flee of the Western Union through
out the city, makes all told. 1900
men now on strike in this city.
At a meeting of the operators held
this afternoon a resolution was un-
animously passed declaring that
every operator in this city having a
union card should be called out. The
debate on this motion occupied the
entire time of the meeting and an
adiournment was taken as soon as
the movement was decided upon.
A short time after the meeting
had dissolved, demands were present
ed to the officials of the Postai leie-
graph company, asking for an IN
crease of 25 per cent In wages an
S-hour day and recognition OF tne
union. If these were not passed up
on the strike was to follow. IL was
the general understanding among tne
operators that the demands couio
not be granted at once and the move
was evidently intended to Drlhg
about the strike at the present tlme
in order to aid the western union
men if the demands were not grant
ed Under the wording of the order
ali the operators working for brok'
ers and commission houses Will DC
called out in the morning and busi'
ness generally will be badly handi
capped.
1t was said tonight by some OF the
operators who were present at the
meeting that the intention of the un
ion was to cripple the telegraph ia
cilities of the city in every direction
and do so so completely that public
sentiment would be brought to bea
heavily upon the two telegraph com
panies, and in this manner force
settlement between them and tn
operators.

SEEK RELIEF FROM
PURE FOOD LAWS

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9.-Rep-
resentatives of fruit growers and
packers met Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson today and asked the secreta-
ry to relieve them from the enforce
ment of the pure food laws recent
ly enacted so that this years crops
a large portion of which is already
dried under conditions that are now
illegal, could be marketed and sew
eral million dollars worth of fruit
made saleable. Secretary Wilson said
before the matter had been present.
ed to him:
"If you go ahead and act accord
ing to your light and prepare the
fruit as best you can. will never call
on the federal court to prosecute for
infringement of the pure food laws y
The particular law in question is
decision of the department of Ag-
riculture that not more than thirty
five thousandths of one per cent of
sulphurous compounds are to be
found on the fruit when on the mar
ket. The growers present this
morning demonstrated from an eX-
hibit that If only that amount of sui
phurous compounds could be formed
in the fruit, that enough sulphur
could not be used in the fuming
either to keep the fruit from rotting
on the trays or to make presenta-
BILE marketable fruit. They showed
dried fruit containing only that
amount of sulphurous compounds
and it was black and partially con-
sumed by dry rot. making it a much
more unhealthy article of diet than
the average we'll dried fruit which
contains twelve one-thousandths OF

as the day heightened. In addition
to the strikes reported during the
forenoon, it was said that the men at
Ell Paso, Texas, were out and it was
declared that those at Spokane,
Washington, were on the verge of a
strike.
The strike at the offices of the Pos
tai company in this city was attend
ed by no sign of disorder. When the
whistle was blown, calling the men
out, the operators rose from their
seats with cheer and walked out.
There was not the slightest evidence
of ill feeling on either side. The
men, after reaching the street, gave
repeated cheers and then dispersed.
The strike throughout the day has not
been marked by trouble of any kind.
Chief of Police Shippy informed the
leaders of the strike this afternoon
that he would not allow any picket
ing and he was informed that none
was intended, and that every effort
would be made to keep the men

SW|TCHMEN MAY GO OUT
ON DENVER 8 RIO GRANDE
(By the Associated Press. }

DENVER, Aug. "a general
strike of all the switchmen in the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad sys-
tenn between Denver and Salt Lake is
possible in the near future. The gem
eral grievance committee of the
trainmen on that road are in the city
and held two meetings today. The
committee has not yet decided
whether or not 1t will make de-
mand of two cents an hour increase
on the road at this time or not. But
whatever decision is reached there
will be no meeting between the rep
resentatives of the men and the road
until next week, on account of the
absence from the city of w. s. Mar.
tin, general manager of the road. 1t
is generally believed that If the de-
mand is made the road will grant it
and in that case the Colorado &
Southern will probably grant the de-
mands of their strikers. In the
meantime the Colorado & Southern
strike remains unchanged except for
the claims of the company that it is
constantly putting on more men and
getting back to normal condition.

M'GU|GAN OF GREAT
NORTHERN RESIGNS
ALLEGED DIFFERENCES WITH
PRESIDENT j. j. HILL GIVEN
AS THE CAUSE.
(By the Associated Press. J

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 9.-S. P.
McGuigan, fist vice president of the
Great Northern Railway company
has resigned His resignation will
not take effect nominally until Sep
tember 1, but Mr. Guigan admits
when he leaves the Great Northern
office tomorrow afternoon, his con-
nection with the railroad in active
official capacity will have ceased.
Without hesitancy Mr.. McGuigan
acknowledged that personal differ
ences between himself and j. ]. Hill
had caused his resignation. Mr.. Nc
Guigan intimated that his grievances
had been fostered by alleged dicta-
torial methods of Mr.. Hill in con-
Quoting the affairs of the railroad.
1t was rumored that the differences
were of such nature that personal
encounter occurred.
Did your disagreements with Mr.
Hill lead either of you to attack the
other with your fists yesterday after
noon?"
Il prefer not to say anything about
that" said Mr.. McGuigan.
McGuigan came to st. Paul in
April from the Grand Trunk to be-
come vice president of the Great
Northern and almost from the start
an undercurrent of antagonism was
manifest between him and Mr.. Hill.
Gradually the feeling became more
and more personal, until finally last
Tuesday Mr.. McGuigan decided to re-
sign.
The crisis came yesterday at a
meeting in the Great Northern Of
flee between Mr.. McGuigan and Mr..
HILL That the meeting was stormy
is evidenced by Mr.. McGuigan's de-
cision to quit the Great Northern at
once, without waiting until the end
of the month, when the resignation
becomes effective.
AS indicating the nature of the re-
lations between Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Nc
Guigan that caused the split, the lat
ter's reply to the question, What
were your duties as vice president of
the Great Northern?" is significant.
IL was supposed said Mr.. Nc
Guigan, according to the announce
ments of the circulars issued by the
road, to have charge of the operat-
ing department.
well, did you actually have con-
troll of the operating Department.
Mr.. McGuigan only smiled.
Then it was Mr.. Hills attempt
to dominate over you that resulted
in the break?"
Mr.. Hill is an exceedingly domi-
mating man. replied Mr.. McGuigan.
Pressed for further particulars of
his rupture with Mr.. Hill, Mr.. Nc
Guigan was silent He said he would
leave with his family for Maine as
soon as possible.
j. j. Hill refused to be interviewed
and President Louis Hill declared he
knew nothing as to the cause of Mr..
McGuigan's resignation,

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9.-ln the
trial of e. B. Perrin and J. A. Ben
son on the charge of fraudulently Sc
curing government land in this state,
it developed today that Francis j.
Heney may be called as witness.
1t came out in the testimony that the
contracts between Perrin and Ben
son were for time in Heneys law
office, Perrin having attempted to
secure Heney's services as an attor-
ney 1t was in Heney's law office
that George G. Hunt, special agent
of the general office, secured copies
of the contracts by which an endea-
vOr is being made to prove that a
conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment existed between Perrin and
Benson. Perrin and Heney are
brothers-in-law
Hunt was the witness during the
morning session. The contracts be-
tween Perrin and Benson were put
in evidence.
Peter Dunno, counsel for Perrin,
on his cross-examination, developed
the fact that Perrin had turned Ari-
Zona lands over to the government to
receive in exchange lands in any
other state he wished. Dunno main
tanned that Perrin hired Benson to
locate government land in California
to be taken in lieu of the forfeited
Arizona lands and that this legiti-
mate transaction constituted the base
of the contract between the two men
The entire afternoon session was
devoted to quibbling by the attorneys
over the admission of the original
applications from the state land Of

number of 5000 or 5000, swept
down upon General Drude's camp
outside Casa Blanca yesterday after
noon They were driven off with
considerable loss. Later they re-
newed the attack and were again re-
pulsed. The french troops are in
splendid condition and spirits. The
warships supported them during this
attack by keeping up a steady shell

NO TRACE FOUND OF
ESCAPED CONNICTS

BELLINGHAM, Wash, Aug. 8
A special to the Herald from Van
couver, B. c., says:
mo word has been received from
the parties on the track of Bill Miner
and the other convicts who escaped
from the provincial penitentiary yes
terday. Guards were on the trail five
minutes after the men escaped in the
bushes, but all returned without a
trace of the men.
This morning at daylight posse,
20 guards, police and trackers, took
the trail with bloodhounds, which
took the scent readily and started
off into heavy timber. No report mas
been received from this party
The direction in which the convicts
disappeared is heavily wooded and
unless the hounds find them the
party might be hidden for days, but
might have trouble in getting food
