IL. Lewis g Son, the pioneer drug
gists of Ketchum, are again in the bust

ests of James Moore in the drug bust
ness of James Moore & Co. The old

Last Wednesday, while the down
stage, which was loaded with bullion,
was descending the Sawtooth divide
towards Galena, the silver bars worked
to one side, and as the brakes were I'M
able to hold the vehicle, it turned over
while moving rapidly, and the tongue
and double-tr tree badly broken. No
passengers were aboard, and the driver
escaped injury.
It is rumored that the Buzzo Compa-
ny intends building smelter here next
season. Hurrah for the smeltersi There
are now about half dozen in sight.
The smelling industry of Ketchum, the
future hub of the great Wood River
country, is destined to be enormous.
The prospective now discloses works on
Warm Spring creek; works ON Trail
creek, and works on Elkhorn creek.
The men who were at work on the
Challis road came in from Lost River
yesterday, having finished their work.
The road is now completed for stages
and light wagons, and as no heavy teams
would be put on till spring, nothing
more will be done to it till that time,
and, owing to the lateness of the season,
it will not be kept open this winter 1t
is gratifying to know that the great
Challis and Bonanza countries are united
by a short route with Ketchum, the
center of the Salmon and Wood river
districts.
The chief will be away tomorrow, and
having been left in full charge of the
sanctum, we assume the responsibility
of urging upon our poetical patrons the
necessity of immediate action in the
contribution of poems on the "beauti-
full" AS the safest method to adopt
We would suggest that contributions foi
our inspection be handed in through
the back window on the end of a forty
foot fish pole. In that case, should the
worthy boss appear, the poetical aspi
rant will have ample time to scale the
heights of the nearest barn yard fenc,
and escape, while we hide in the hel
box.
