continuous, although sometimes broken
off and displaced.

The Fourth of July at Ketchum.
Every civilized nation has some prom
inent and initial day upon which, with
appropriate demonstrations, its origin
and progress is celebrated, but to no
nation other than our own is given the
opportunity of celebrating the dawn of
a civil aud religious life, which the world
seeks to imitate, but which none have
comprehended. We can proudly, aud
with boasting, say that the Government
of the United States is the only govern
ment in the whole world where the rich
and poor side by side deposit an equal
voice for the general weal or woe of the
people. We are all sovereigns—all citi
zens. The Declaration of Independ
ence is an instrument as solemn nnd
saered as though inspired from the
flaming bush, or from the top of Mount
Sinai.
it has carried the truth and
teachings of the Bible to many a people,
and elevated the thermometer of intelli
gence until it almost tullies the temper
ature of infinite existence. The masses
go hand in hand with the cultured intel
ligence and rude, though some demon
strations may be all, all are inspired by
the spirit of liberty, freedom and
progress. Such sentiments are the
motive-power for the scenes which
to-day will take place in regular order.
At nine o'clock fharp the procession
will start to march to the depot, where
the train excursionists will be received
at 9:45. Then the march will be taken
to the grand stand in the grove on the
banks of Wood River, where the liter
ary exercises will be held. The second
excursion train, which will arrive at
11:40, will be stopped at the grounds.
The first thing in the way' of sports will
be the shooting-match at nine o'clock.
Next the literary exercises, at 11:45. At
one o'eolck the second shooting-match,
then the races. In the evening the
exhibition of athletic sports will take
place on the public square in town. At
dusk a display of fireworks will be
presented. The wrestling and boxing
matches in Metropolitan Hall late in the
evening complete the day's doings. For
further particulars see large posters.

fifty-ton stacks are in the full vigor of a

being alive with active humanity in

Notes Front the Little Smoky Mining
District.
&
The Carrie Leonard mine is making
regular shipments by Clark, Teague &
Co.'s pack train to the 'Ketchum Smelt
Upwards of twenty tons of ore
have been shipped during the past ten
days that will sample fully 300 ounces
silver per ton and fifty per cent. lead.
There is lots of ore in sight in all parts
of the mine and shipments will con
tinue right along for the season.
The Isabella, owned by James A.
McFadden, continues to produce and
ship ores by Pardun's pack train to ! of
ers.
Ketchum. The ore averages 100 ounces
silver per ton with very little lead. Mac
is quite enthusiastic over constantly
improving developments.
The Silver Star is now being worked
systematically by an augmented force,
and development work prosecuted in
all directions. An upraise is being made
from the lower tunnel to the surface on
the vein, a distance of 400 feet, and
altogether in ore of good quality. In
fact all the work being prosecuted on
the different parts of the mine is in ore.
No mine in Idaho shows more ore in its
entire length than the Silver Star of
Little Smoky District.
Many other mines in the district are
being worked and preparations made to
ship, and Little Smoky's record for
1885 will lead the Territory.

its use an explosion was caused,
five sticks of powder w-ent off, killing
Frank instantly, his body being blown
to pieces. James Murphy was veay badly
lacerated and torn about the body and

a few hours when our informant left.
Charles Wilson was not so badly hurt
but what he has a fair chance for
recovery.
All
New Stage and Mail Route.
M. M. Moore has put on a daily line of
stages between Ketchum and the junc
tion of this road with the Blaekfoot and
Challis stage road, he having received
the Government contract for carrying
the United States mails over that route.
In contemplation of getting the con
tract, daily stages have been running
some days, but the first mail sacks were,
sent through by the new route Thurs
day of this week. As yet, the postmaster
has not received his commission, aud ns
a consequence the mail sacks are way
billed through to the old line. It will
only be a few days until the new post
office is opened and ail waymail distrib
uted from that point. Heretofore mail
matter from this section had to go over
the Oregon Short Line to the Utah and
Northern Rrilway and up that road to
Blaekfoot, and. from Blaekfoot by stage
to all points in Custer county. By the
new route all mails come through
Ketchum, and over two days are taken
off the time required to send a letter
from Ketchum to Challis. The Pacific
Express is also carried over this line.
Tlie Semi-Weekly Keystone.
To-day we issue the Keystone os a
Semi-Weekly. While the paper is some
smuller thou before, the two issues eaeji
week will make a much larger paper
thuu the old weekly. We shall not pub
lish a weekly, but will send the Semi
Weekly in its place. In issuing a semi
weekly tlie expense is much greater, and
we trust our endeavors to give the news
oftener will bo appreciated and our sub
scription and advertising list will be
increased sufficient to justify the extra
expense necessitated by the change.

In no other medicinal preparation have
the results of the most intelligent study
and scientific inquiry been so steadily
and progressively utilized as in Ayer's
Sarsaparilla. It leads the list as a truly
scientific preparation for ail blood
diseases.
No injurious effects can follow the use
of Ayer's Ague Cure in the treatment of
malarial diseases. It contains, besides
a specific and unfailing antidote for
miasmatic poison, other remedial agents
which unite to expel the poisonous
humors, purify the system, and leave it
in a healthy and reinvigor«ted condition.
