Many changes have been made
In the business circles of Ketchum
during the past winter, and through
number of sales, transfers, con-
solicitations, ETC., of various inter
csts, We find the new season entered
upon by an enterprising, and more
consistent representation Of mer-
camille branches than has been
identified with any previous time.
The needs of the country are daily
becoming better understood, and
the science, among business men,
Of conducting their interests in a
warranted and profitable way is
met with a clearer understanding
day by day. The thoughtless
plunge of booming times has long
since ceased to be a folly, and the
strict demands of the country, ac-
cording to its industry and product,
is the first consideration of the
merchant. The development of
Alturas county, governed by I'M
comfortable causes, is slow but
certain. The mining outlook is
constantly improving, and those
who have been contented to remain,
conscious that the day of booms is
past, settle upon the solid basis of
real industry and its slow but on
ward growth with the assurance of
doing a moderately prosperous bus
mess and of making a contented
and peaceful home.
The several communities on
Wood River are now mostly purged
of the "rif-raf'' that disturbed their
equilibrium in early days, con-
formed to the interests of the coun-
try around them, content with the
influx Of resources about them and
settled down TO a moderate scale of
prosperity. The tendency of over
done business has been washed
away with the false colorings of the
past, and the greatest and most en-
couraging surviving feature is, that
the mines, everywhere, look better
than ever!

for it on account of its pleasant
taste, and grown people who have

LAND Ruling.

The late ruling as to the telling
of timber, issued by Commissioner
Sparks, and published in another
column, is one that is of vital i'm
portancc to the regions concerned,
and should be carefully perused
and noted by the readers of the
KEYSTONE. Some may put a mis-
construction on the terms 'domes-
tic purposes" and ''for sale or
commerce" The same language
is found in the act preceding it and
refers, in the first case, to mining,
agricultural and building purposes,
virtually allowing every necessity
of the communities where said act
applies. Trees over one foot in di-
ameter, and growing on the public
mineral lands, are thus placed at
the free disposal of the people "for
domestic uses" and may be fclled
and sawed and cut into convenient
shape by any one, or his agent, for
home consumption. :" His agent "
is generally the sawyer, who fells
and saws the required timber for
any construction for so much per
thousand feet. In this way the
saw mill is strictly the agent of
those needing lumber, and does not
violate the clause " for sale or COM
merce." This has always been the
position of the lumberman of this
and other mining countries under
the direct jurisdiction of the U. s.
land commissioner. and it is not
changed by the recent ruling Elk
portation of lumber, however, is
strictly forbidden. 1t will be seen
that public agricultural or timber
lands, not valuable as mineral land,
is absolutely protected from the de-
struction of its timber, and it is
criminal offense to remove timber

The first of May has passed and
gone, and peace reigns among all
classes of people throughout the
territory, except the newspapers
that were opposed to the procla-
nation Of the Governor. The fact
that riots did not occur is not evil
dence that peace would have pre-
vailed had the governor neglected
to issue the proclamation. He did
nothing wrong, and those peaceahly
inclined citizens should not rise
up against the man who tried and
did do his duty. Workingmen and
true Knights of Labor will find no
fault with Governor Stevenson for
performing what he thought to be
his duty.-Avalanche.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
Mr.. Tupper's Accident at the Elec,
trio Light Works. {

Mr.. John A. Upper, the gentlemanly
superintendent of the electric light
works, met with an accident last even
ing which nearly terminated his life.
He was engaged, while the machinery
was running At full power. in connect
inga wire from one machine to another,
aud while doing so his left wrist came
into contact with another highly
charged wire, thus making a circuit
through his body. The shock received
was powerful, but not strong enough
TO deprive him of consciousness, and
with violent effort he managed to free
himself and regain the floor, when he
took a few steps and became uncon-
scious. He was Immediately removed
from the room, and a doctor
called in. restoratives applied, and
after the lapse of about two
hours was able to resume his duties,
although not entirely recovered from
the effects of the shock. His left wrist
was badly burned by the lightning,
parts of the singed flesh of the wrist adj
herring to the wire, and in addition he
received several severe burns on the
fingers of the right hand. Our reporter
saw the gentleman about three hours
after the accident occurred. He was
yet stiff and sore from the effects of the
electric shock, and complained OF gen.
eral numbness in the left arm. He does
not anticipate any serious trouble, how
ever, and has reason to congratulate
himself that he is alive at the present
moment. 1t was certainly a narrow
escape from almost instant death.
