INQUIRER.

An excitement was created on
Lcadville Avenue yesterday morn
ing by the attempt of Mr.. J Jones
to commence building improvements
on the corner lot, just north Of the
Union church. 1t seems that the
disputed property was purchased of
the locator last Fall by NJ w.
johnson, and it having been suf-
ficently improved for title, was
left for while during the past
Winter and Summer. Yesterday,
Mr. Johnson began making addition
al improvements thereon, when Mr..
Jones, declaring the formers right
void, laid claim to the property and
endeavored TO deposit lumber on the
same but was repealed at the muzzle

were subsequently made by Mr..

THE FIREMEN's BALL.
Unedualled In Grandeur OF Social Ex-
cellence Fifsy-Four Couples in At
tendance Socially and Financially a
Decided Success.

The Firemen's Grand Ball. which took
place III Coffin Brothers new hall on
Monday evening" was decided success
in every particular, and reflects great
credit upon the directors of Ketchum's
gallant fireman. Evidently there has
long been latent power in our midst, I'M
til this occasion given no opportunity to
act. We refer particularly to Mr.. Fred.
Johnson. the foor director, and Mr.. b.
X. Boone. chief OF the company, and
others. The hall could not have been
improved. The music, consisting of
Dixie Boones orchestra Of four pieces,
violin, second violin, cornet and piano,
was simply all that could be desired,
and the social constituents Of the affair
were par excellence. All in all the
Fireman's Ball was the criterion of So
cial magnificence, and, we hope, the ini-
tiation Of popular season of Terpsicho-
reau delight in Ketchum.
Among distinguished visitors from
our sister towns were Major VIM. Hynd-
man and Miss Lissie Black, J. o. Swift.
and Mrs. Bixby, w. H. Watt, james
Rainey and Mr.. Charles Moore, of
Haley; Carl johnson and Manse Coffin,
OF Bellevue, Mr.. and Mrs. G. d. Bradley,
of Bullion; and Mr.. and Miss Bradley,
of Boulder.
The enjoyment of the affair was uni
versal, and nothing whatever occurred
TO mar the pleasure of anyone. Supper
was served at Baxter's, the Bon Ton and
and also at the Enterprise Restaurant.
Fifty five tickets were sold, bringing
III return Of about $135, and a neat
revenue to the fire company of $35,
which sum, together with the present

ton s'lnquircr's" Opinion.
sAwToorH. Sept. 10. 1883.

SAwTooTH, Sept. 10, 1888.
Ed. KEYsToNE:-The dormant and al-
most inactive state into which this camp
has been plunged for the past year was
aroused this noon by the shrill and
CHEEKY whistle, and roaring Of falling
stamps OF the Columbia & Beaver mill,
and henceforth Sawtooth, as resusci-
tated from the dead, shall occupy fore
most position among the ranks Of min
ing camps In idaho.
The question has often been asked,
why this region, so rich in mineral, and
on which 50 much money has been ex-
pended, has lain Gormunt 40 long, and
many have been the theories advanced
in explanation; but to me, who has no
theory, it appears to be but one OF the
vicissitudes to which any new mining
district Is exposed, and to which Saw
tooth has been no exception.
For long and weary months have we
waited for the event of to-day, the start
ing OF the mill; and although II will but
give confidence which will insure a
healthy state of business and develop
ment next summer, not assisting bust
nesssmen materially this fall because of
the lateness OF the season. yet the event
is to us frought with deepest interest for
/ the future; real estate which to-day is
valueless, henceforth must bring its
worth, for it viii become of intrinsic
4 value.
Messrs. vernum and Stephens. OF the
G. Il B. Mill and mines, have had a
| great deal to contend against, having
the protested paper of the former man
agement to pay off, and to face the
prejudice OF mine owners, who regarded
the new process OF teaching as an inno-
vation not to be trusted; the process
here, has not had time to demonstrate
whether it is a success on not, but it il
fair to presume that Mr.. Dobler, who
1 has charge Of the mill, and the owners
generally, would not have expended sc
many thousands of dollars on it if they
We're not confident that the Teaching
process was adopted for the reduction
OF the ores of this district.
