INVESTIGATION OPENED.
The Grand Jury Ask the Court to Give
Them Legal Advisor.

To Hon. JUDGE BRoRprEoK-SR:
The undersigned members of the Grand
jury for the June term, 1854, most res
pectfully and earnestly request your
honor to appoint Hon. j. b. Rosebor-
ough, of Salt Lake City, Utah, as our
legal advisor to assist and council us in
our Investigations OF the financial affairs
Of the county OF Mturas.
We are fully satisfied from what we
already know and have good reason to
complete examination and inves-
tigation OF the most rigid eharao-
tor of the financial affairs of
the county and conduct and actions of
many of tho county officials since PEE
riod commencing January I, 1883, is de-
manded and warranted at this particu
lar time that Justice only may be done,
and il there has been corruption aud
extravagance, violations of the revenue
laws and misapphcations of the public
moneys as we believe has been the case,
and should we find after u thorough
and riged examination that such reports
are true, the present County Attorney
would undoubtedly be more or less re-
sponsible with the County Commission
ers, we think we ought in justice to our
selves and the people OF the county of
Aturas, have some one learned in the
! law who is nonresident of the county
and Territory aud who is both honest
and capable,
We, therefore, request that your hon
or appoint the Honorable j. b. Rose
borough, of Salt Lake City, Utah Ter
ritory. All OF which is most respectfully
submitted by
| Your obedient servants,
! The GRAND JURY.

A ROAD TO EAST FORK.

The rapid development of prospecting
operations in the East Fork vicinity is
of inestimable Importance TO the people
Of Ketchum, and, perhaps, signifies more
TO their interests than first glance
would indicate. It denotes very large
demand for merchandise and miners
supplies that Will come from that re-
gion before many weeks, TO say nothing
Of the present trade, which partially
finds its way to HALEY, and Ketchum
is the natural supply point and market
Of u direct route Co this place, which can
be constructed not TO exceed six miles
Ia length, the miners of East Fork often
find IL advantageous to travel n dis
lance of twelve miles and trade with
HALEY, and not few instances have
occurred when ores were shipped to that
point which could, with the establish
ment Of practicable thoroughfare in
this direction, find much more profita-
bic market at the Philadelphia smelters,
At present the only route TO Ketchum is
vim the mouth of East Fork, which
round about course covers distance Of
nearly fourteen miles. With the railroad
terminus here, our merchants can COM
pete with any point; but the5only avail
able means of securing the East Fork
trade entire is by the immediate con-
struetion of n direct road over the low
Elkhorn hills. Persons who have taken
the pains TO investigate this course re-
port that the cost Of such road will not
exceed $500. Now the citizens of Ketch-
UNI can well afford to raise such an
amount for the reward that lies in store
| for them when tho work is accomplished.
The importance of this move has before
been suggested on several occasions by
the KEYSTONE, but never did it appear
SO great us at the present time; the turn
ing point OF commercial affairs ON WOOD
River. Let us have the road before fail
at all hazards.

uted to an implication by the Ring
but the old cry that the ''Ring' would
control the Grand Jury has lost its bot
tom, and the factions Of that energetic
compact now behold the vagary Of their
delusiye hope. Its day Of glory is fast
drawing to close, and the growth OF
an honest voting community, whose
rights have been contemporary laid
aside, will soon discourage the prospect
ty Of such parasitic growths upon the
treasury OF our funds and assert justice
where iniquity prevails.
In speaking of the person chosen to
conduct the work Of investigation the

ssThat Honorable j. B. Rosborough is
both honest and capable, as well as

to the people at large as anyone could

ATLANTA AND ROCKY BAR.
Review of the Country and Mines.

Atlanta and Rocky Bar among the
oldest mining sections OF Idaho, are
coming to notice with general revival
in mining and milling enterprises, and
will materially swell the mineral out
put Of Alturas this season. The Mining
II Scientific Press recently published
correct map Of that region, accompanied
by very concise review of the mines,
and for the benefit of our readers who
may not have formed any acquaintance
with those promising districts we re-
produce the following:
"Rocky Bar is situated in the western
part Of Alturas county, on Bear creek,
tributary of the South Boise river.
The mines here airs ull gold mines, the
ore being either free milling or rich sui
phurets. The chief mines which have
been worked during the past year are
the Idaho and Vishnu and the Ada ELL
more. The Idaho and Yishnu rank with
the best gold mines in the Territory,
but until lately have not been system
atically worked. The owners had leased
| them to miners of limited means, who
extracted the ore without keeping de-
| yelopment work ahead, and left the
mine in bad condition.
| During the past year the property
finally changed hands, and under an
able and experienced management work
| has been vigorously and systematically
pushed forward. The Ada Gilmore has
long been a large producer of gold, and
since it was first opened has produced
over 81, 000, 900. 1t is a true assure vein,
OF free gold bearing ore, feet wide,
which will probably average $50 to the
! ton.
There are number of other mines
in this district which, under careful, in
telligent and economical management,
could be made to yield large returns and
give future of Importance and influ-
ence to a section of country which has
not hitherto attracted the attention its
Importance demands. Fifteen miles

james q. Blaine.

James Gillespie Blnine, the Republic
can nominee for President, was born in
Washington county, Pennsylvania, jan
unry 81, 1880. He Is consequently in
the tifty-fifth year OF his age, in the
prime and yigor Of manhood. He re-
uceiyed a coEssi..te education, and grad
nntcd from Washington college in l8l7.
Heremovod TO tho state OF Maine early in
life and became editor OF the Portland
Advertiser. From that period forward,
until absorbed by politics, James q.
Blaine was actively connected with
journalism and he Ia, on that account,
an especial favorito with the journals
tic fraternity.
He was elected to Congress by the
Republicans Of Maine in 1869, and was
reelected Ave times. As Speaker of
the House OF Representatives In three
Congresses he distinguished himself
and cxpe. fence soon commanded recog-
milton, and he became the rival and peer
OF Roscoe Conkling, of New York, until
then the recognized leader OF the Ro-
publican party. Personal rivalry be-
tween these two great leaders led to an
estrangcmcnt, which, happily, no long
er exists. Blaine has no moro ardent
supporters than Conkling and Plat.
Principles triumph over prejudice, and
personal ambition has no place in the
present contest.
Blnine was candidate for the presi-
dental nomination in 1874, when Conk-
ling ran against him; but the prize for
which those leaders contended fell in
the lap of Hayes. Again, in 1880, Blaine
was q candidate, and was opposed by
E(irant and the famous 800, led by Conk-
Thing, who thought it out TO the bitten
end" bnt magnanimously took thu
stump with Grant and carried the EN-
plro state for Garfield, nominated, III
already stated, by Blaine's influence
The like magnanimity il now manifest
ed in Gonkling's support of his former
rival, Blaine.
As an administrator, Blaine has no
had much opportunity Of showing wha
he could do, but during his brief tenure
OF Office under Garfield he has outlined
a foreign policy that was purely Ameri
can. and which raised him in the esti
nation of all foreign governments. The,
recognized that the additionally pnssly,
bolicy Of the United States government
was at an end, and that there was MAJ
at the head of IT'S foreign affairs VIII
would make his couutry's flag respected
everywhere.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
an earnest appeal from the Grand Jury
to Hon. Judge Broderick to appoint Hon.
j. 3. Roseborough, OF Salt Lake city, as
a legal adviser in the investigation of
