GRANTS PASS. Aug. .-The boycott,
recently declared here by the Federated
Trades Union, against the "unfair" busi
ness houses of . the city, hue brought
about a calamity such as Grants Pass
has never before-known in Its history.
It was thought at first that the so-called
"unfair" stores would give way and sign
the petition of the retail clerks, but this
they haye stubbornly refused to do and
the merchants of the city find them
selves divided as a result. Only about
half of the business houses of Grants
Pass have recognized the union, and as
the Federated Trades has a combined
membership of over SCO here, the estab
lishments which have not .recognized the
Federated Trades find themselves seri
ously Injured from a business point of
view". .
Yesterday a special meeting of the
Board of Trade was held for the purpose
of considering the matter of the boycott.
A large number of merchants. principal
ly those of the "unfair" establishments,
attended the meeting and deplored the
condition of things. Those who had
signed the petition of the clerks refused
to withdraw their names, and those who
had not eigned It, obstinately refused to
do so. The only thing h ft ,to be done
was for the President of the Board to
appoint u committee of six, three from
the "unfair" and three from the 'fair"
stores, to meet and discuss the matter of
disagreement; these six to- have the au
thority to appoint a seventh In case they
could not agree. This committee will
make Its report at a special meeting of
the general board to be held next Friday

lam tollman retur'hed from the upper

quite surprised at the amount of work
going on there In every direction and the
amount of new machinery being in

ever brought out oi the Virtue district
was handed in yesterday by Manager
Arthur Buckbee, of the Virtue mine.

sayed $19 fine. 'making a" total value ol
about $900, or an average of a little
over $18 to Hie ton.
Charles ' Lewis arm Bert .Bland ford
have returned from Thunder Mountain
and speak of the district as follows: "The
trouble was with the people who went
there. Lots of men flocked in expect
ing to work for wages and there was
absolutely' no work to do. How could
there be when ihe snow was 30 feet deep
In spots? The first development work or
any kind only begun about July 1 anil
very little then. All Thunder Moun
tain Is good for Is, for people who nav&
the means to hold out. to locate clairi
and work them. 'It Is if low grade propo
sition all the way through, but when
properly worked there should be money
In mining In that section."
These gentlemen went In with pack
horses and It required a month of very
difficult work to make the journey. They

paid his debts and that he will soon have
everything liquidated in full, dul'.ur for
dollar. While he has been discharged
hy the court. I am still in charge of all
his property as 'trustee, und expect to
! turn back to him a large portion of his
assets free from all debt. Mr. Searles
is a splendid business man and has an
cther fortune In sight.
"We have now enough ore in sight to
liquidate Mr. Searles' debts and leave
him a handsome working profit. In fact
you may say he is already a rich man
again and his Influence In the ftast is
very great.
'The Cornucopia mines property Is not
for sale and will not be placed nn the
market for at least another year."

DEATH OF PRINCE
Ouroussoff, Russian Ambassador to
France Dies Suddenly.
- (Journal Special Service.)
PARIS, Aug 6 -The French Foreign of
fice, as a matter of course, expressed deep
regret at the death of Prince Ouroussoff,
Russian Ambassador to France, which
occurred quite suddenly last week, but
as a matter of fact the news of the
taking ofT of the little old diplomat was
received with considerable relief in offi
cial circles. Prince Ouroussoff had never'
been popular In Paris and In fact It Is
said that request for his recall was
resolved upon hy President l.oitbet two
years ago, though for political reasons
it was pigeon-holed for the time being.
The Ire against the Prime at that time
was caused by the report that 'the failure
of the Czar to pay his promised visit
to the Paris Exposition was entirely due
to the arguments and representations of
bis Ambassador at Paris, w .o In the af
fair acted altogether In accordance with
the wishes and views of the Nationalist
' party, that Is to say. Willi the party
late Ambassador served In Bucharest and
at Brussels as Minister Plenipotentiary,
filling In between times the position of
gram! master of the household to Grand
Duke Michael. Prince OurousseolT left a
widow, who Is the daughter and heiress
of old Abbaza, the Russian hanker, who
died as Minister of Finance.
