PASSAGE PARTIALLY BLOCKED.
Russian Fleet Has Great Difficulty In
Leaving Port Arthur.

Toxic, June 29 The detailed report
received from Admiral Togo Of the op.
erations before Port Arthur, which re-
suited in the sinking Of another Rus
sian battleship, shows that the en-
trance to the harbor at Port Arthur is
still blocked to such an extent that it
is impossible for tAe Russians to
maneuver. The operation of bringing
the Russian fleet into the open, ac-
cording to the report Of the officers of
the Japanese scout vessels, lasted from
IL a. m, till $3.50 p. M, and was diff.
cult in the extreme.
When first seen by the main fleet the
Russian ships were in a double column
formation, the first made up of four
cruisers and six battleships, with the
battleship Czarevitch in the lead.
The second column was made up of the
cruiser Eoyik and seven destroyers.
That the japanese did not attack in
force aDd attempt to sink the entire
Russian fleet was due to the fact that
nightfall arrived before the ships could
be brought within range, and nothing
was left but for the torpedo attack. 1t
is generally believed now that another
attempt will be made by the Russians
to escape.

STAMPEDE TO GOLD FIND.
Ledge on Thompson Greek Is Over $500
Feet Long,

Medford-A, L. Morris has just re-
turned from the strike of gold on the
headwaters of Thompson creek, near
Grayback mountain. He brought with
him over $75 ~ gold taken from the
ledge, which shows on the surface over
4,5Q0 feet long. The Briggs boys have
taken out SIS 900 and have as much
more in sight.
Most Of the people going in leave

vile, crossing the divide at the head
of Williams creek. This route is olny
so miles from Medford. Hundreds of
people are leaving, and the town is in
great excitement. Claims are being
staked and placer locations filed.
IL, +, King washed sl60 from four
pans of placer dirt on his location 500
feet from the Briggs find. The ledge
is 450 feet on the Oregon side of the
California line.
A townsite has been located and
tents are being pitched. Not since the
days Of Gold Hill or Steamboat Springs
has so much interest been manifested
in a gold dicsovrey. II is claimed that
the ledge is the same as the Steamboat
strike, but the values are much higher
and the ledge larger.

no confirmation here Of the reports that
France and Germany are about to send
waIships to Haytien waters in conse-
quence of the attack on the respective
ministers of those countries by the pal
ace guards at Port Au Prince. The
French and German ministers are
awaiting instructions from their gov

however, regards the incident as closed
by the forwarding Of apologies, while
the press is silent concerning the mat

Boiler ExplOdes on Cruiser.

San Francisco, June 30.-The steam.
er Maripsoa, which came from Tahiti,
brought a story of boiler explosion on
the French cruiser Durance, resulting
in the death OF Is men. The explosion
occurred while the varship was on her
way to Noumea from Papeete and the
last reports received by the French off
cials at Tahiti we're to the effect that
the warship had made Uoumea and
Captain Rozier, who was prostrated by
the disaster, was sick on shore. The
Durance, for a number of years, has
been stationed at Papeete.

MoRMONs GET MEXICAN TRACT.
Half Million Acres VIII Be Pure hassd In
Sonora or chihuahua.

Mexico City, June ga report is
being circulated here to the effect that
the Mormon church would be quite ac-
lively engaged during the next few
months in securing land in vraious por-
tions of Mexico foi the purpose OF colo
nization. The assertion is made that
it was recently decided to purchase a
tract of 500,0 acres in Sonora or Chi
huahua, to be used as an extension of
the colonies of Colouia, Duban and
Diaz. The arrangements are about
completed, it is said, and within few
weeks the deeds will be ready for
transfer.
In addition to these lands, 1t is
learned, the Mormon elders have taken
hold of several other land offers recent
ly made TO them. Among these are
said to be large tracts Of land in Sinaloa
and Chiapas.

Looking for Big Run.

Astoria--The salmon pack up to the
present time is far from satisfactory,
but while the prospects for the balance
of the season are purely speculative,
there is every confidence that an i'm
mense run will come later. The pack
of tie canned product is full 25 per
cent short of what it was at the CORE
spending time last year, and then the
season was considered a failure, but
the big run that came the latter part
OF July brought the pack up to nearly
the average figures.

Orasshorpers In Drain.

Pendleton--The army Of grasshoppers
struck the alkali wheat raising district,
about 20 miles southwest of this city,
few days ago, and has wrought much
damage to grain. Monrad Fix is the
heaviest loser, grasshoppers having
eaten down 500 acres to such an extent
that the grain is scarcely fit for hay.
Other crops in that vicinity have been
more or less damaged. A visit of grass
hoppers in this county is unusual
This is the first year the insects have
done any damage to grain.

CAUGHT BY FLAMES.
Explosion of Fireworks Causes Three
Deaths and Heavy Property Loss


Philadelphia, June 30.-Three per-
sons were killed and half dozen were
injured as result of the explosion of
small bundle of fireworks in the store
room of the Diamond fireworks COM
pany, at 9S6 Arch street.
The fireworks concern occupied the
first floor of the building. The second
floor was vacant, and the third floor
was occupied by the French Hat & Bon
net Frame company.
Jancovitch, the proprietor of the hat
and bonnet concern and two of his en-
ployes were the ones killed. These
three were the only persons above the
first floor. About a dozen persons
were employed by the fireworks com
pany. The cause of the fireworks ex-
plosion is not known. Thomas Con-
way, one of the firm of the fireworks
company, was wrapping a small bun
die OF fireworks for customer when it
exploded. Almost instantly the entire
room, full of fireworks, became ignited
from flying rockets and frecrackers
All the employees on the first floor es-
capped without serious injury. The
front Of the first floor was blown ont by
the explosion of powder, and soon the
entire building was in flames. Every
effort was made to rescue those on the
third floor. Firemen climbed ladders
in the midst of the protechnics, and
finally reached those on the third floor
During the fires progress thee fire.
men were injured and three others
were also cut and burned, but their in
juries are not serious. The flames
spread to the building occupied by G.
H. Hilner, publisher of Cathloic books,
and that occupied by j. l.. Gibney &
Bros, dealers in automobile supplies,
but did no serious damage. The entire
loss on all three buildings is $50, 600.

Valley Hops In Need Of Rain.

saiem-Farmers and hop growers in
this section Of the Valley are very
much alarmed over the continuance of
the long dry spell, and say that great
and irreparable damage has already
been done. Farmers from the Waldo
hills and from Mission bottom said
that grain and hay will not yield more
than half clops. Hop growers say that
the yield of hops has already been les
sened, and that, unless a good rain is
had next week, the loss will be consid.
erable.

Granada, Colo, June 24.--A cloud
burst on Wolf creek has flooded the
town. The screams of women in the
houses on the lowland in the west part
of town summoned the citizens, who
rescued all who were in danger. The
streets were flooded. At least a half a
mile of the Santa Fe was washed out
west Of here. Reports from Dry creek
are that it is a river, and it is feared
there was loss of life among the ranch
men living near the creek.

by frost in Grant county last week,

trict of the county, the damage was ot
great. Vegetables and garden stuff
suffered severely also.

Oregon City A remonstrance
against the proposed removal OF the
land office from Oregon City to Port
land, and addressed to the president
and secretary of the interior, has been
circulated among the business men and
citizens here. The remonstrance cites
the fact that this is known as the
Oregon City land district, that Oregon
City is centrally located with reference
to the district, being accessible by rail
and boat; that there is no demand on
the part of settlers or the people at
large for the removal of the office.

notwithstanding to advices re-
ceived from Chicago the reduced rates
on Eastern shipments Of spruce lumber,
which we're to go into effect on July l.,
will not become effective before July

Salem--In answer to question from
President Jefferson Myers, Attorney
General Crawford has rendered an opin-
ion in which he holds that the Lewis
and Clark commission should make a
full and complete exhibit Of the re-
sources and products of the state. The
occasion for this inquiry is not stated,
but seems to arise out Of difference Of
opinion as to the proportion of the
money that should be expended on
buildings and exhibits.
