" Henry B. Miller, formerly of Grants Pass, has been promoted to the position of consul-general at Yoko hama, Japau. Mr. Millbr's promotion it based solely on nicrit, in viow of the ability sbowu while ccusul at Mo Chwang, in diilicultios biought about by the Russia-Japan war. Toui buuj tuon of Taccma in to succeed Mr. Miller at Nio Chwang. In a fierce 11 days battiu, tint grout est of the war thus far, the Japanese have won another complete victor; ovef tlio forces of Kuropatkiu. Itn- porta seem to show that the Russians have abandoned Mukdcu and are in full retreat toward Hurbiu with only tlio moat desiiorato fighting on the part of the rear guurd saving the nruiy from annihilation. Another Indictment bus been re turned against liingnr Ilnriiiuuii, tliih time on the charge of destroying !!.' letter press copybooks with their eonteuta. Theae ruoorda were destroy ed at the time Ileruiuuu re 1 1 red from the laud olllce. Hermann teHtilied that the booka were personal pruperty, containing only private .letter anil that lie had a right to destroy them. Other witnesses ten tilled thut the de stroyed recorda contained matter affecting the business of the general laud olllce.

GRANTS PASS, ORE. MILL FOR OREGON BELLE Order for Machinery H&i Been Placed. The Oregon Belle mine, located on the left fork of Forest creek, six miles west of Jacksonville, is to be equipped with a 10-stamp mllL Tbe order for the machinery has been placed by Foster & Ouunell, of tbis city, who are the managers for tbe Oregon Belle Mining Company and stockholders iu tbe cooitiany, and it is expected to have the mill iu opera tion by the .first of June. The plana and estimates (or the mill were pre pared by F. E. Willetts, of this city, the well known millwright, and tbe construction work will be under the supervision of A. J. Pike of Oranta Push. A aaw mill is now being erected at the iijiuu aud a contract for 100,000 feet of logs bus been let and the tim ber is now being delivered at tbe mill. The loga are cat from the com pany's own timber, they owning over 00 acres of laud adjoining their mine, much of which is heavily timbered, thus giving them an ample fuel and lumber supply in carrying on their mining operations. A 45 horse power boiler, installed last fall, to operate tne compressor for the two drills that are updated iu the mine, will supply the power for the sawmill aud also later on for the 10-stamp mill that will bu put iu. The order for the mill haa boeu placed aud it ia expect ed that ita installation will be begun within a month or so soon as the build ing ia completed, A larger boarding house will bu erected and olllce and other buildings. For the past five mouths Meaara. Foster & Ouunell have bad a force of men at Oregon Hello, working in two shuts day uud night with power drum, developing the miue. While tins development work wua bciuir carried ou, a large purt of the ore taken from the tunnels was milled on a Huntington mill aud these mill tests have demonstrated that tlio oro la of high grade and aa a large body of it lias neon oH'ued np, the company felt fully justified iu the eructiou of a mill which ia to be oue of the beat equipped and up-to-date in Southern Oregon. The Oregon lielle is iu the same ore belt aud ou the onuosite side of tho Jackson creek divide from the Upp mine, there ia every reaaou to ex poet thut it may prove to be aa great a gold producer aa its famous ueigii bur, which ia now paying handsome uiviuenua euen uioiitn.

Ahlf. by Grants Pass in addition to being a distributing point and doing a jobbing business in powder, cement, coal, ice, beer, building material and of lines in the general mercantile trade is now to be a distributing point for meat products of all kinds for Southern Oregon. This wholesale meat house is to be managed by J. H. Ahlf and the goods to be handled will come from the Hammond Packing Com pany, Mr. Ahlf being in charge of the Southern Oregon trade. Mr. Ahlf was formerly in the meat parking in this city and erected a large two story brick packing house on the corner of Fifth aud U streets in which to carry on his business. He will nse this bulding for storage purposes and will get In meats and lard iu car load lots and handle all the products of the Hammond Packing Company, except smoked meats. These he will have shipped in the sweet pickle condition and will smoke the meat iu his own building, where be has a very com plcto plant for the purpose. The very beat of hard wood will be used, no rank or pungent tiate will be given to the meat. By smoking the meat iu Grants Pass dealers will be able to get meat that is fresh and sweet and not the stale, rank and mouldy article that is so often had when Eastern smoked meats are bought. Mr. Ahlf, by importing in car load lota, will bo able to sell to the local dealers at a price much lower than they can secure by importing iu email quantities. Mr. Ahlf has for the paat two years represented tbe Armour Company and he haa proved himself a hustling trade getter end he has good standing with all the business men of Southern Oregon. Now that he is iu a better position to meet the wants of his cuatomera, he will be ablo to still further increase his trade and to build up a business that will be profitable to himself and that will aud much to the commercial prestige of Grants l'aaa.
