The Prospector And Thunder Mountain News March 18, 1905

Phil Gruvici, D. S. Cotter, Frank Beck and E. Haug arrived in town Tuesday
afternoon.

B. B. Scott, also Orin Goodrich went to Knox this week to get telegraphic
communication with the outside.

"Mahoney and His Ditch" in this issue was contributed by a poetess from the Middle
Fork of the Salmon river.

O. T. Lingo has gone down to Big Creek to look after his horses and mules. He
expects to come back in a few days.

Charles W. Neff and George McBride have completed a thirty foot contract for Clark &
Posten on the Porphyry Reef claim.

S. L. Choat has completed the hewing and framing of a fine set of logs for his story
and a half residence to be built in town.

W. R. Polson, proprietor of the Summit House, is building an eight-room two-story
hotel in order to be able to handle the summer traffic.

S. M. Mayo arrived Sunday from Boise where he has been spending a few days. Mr. Mayo
is an employee at the Standard mine.

D. S. Cotter has just returned from Johnson Creek where he has been in telephonic
communication with the outside. Dan has something "up his sleeve."

James W. LeRoy began his building Thursday morning on the west side of Main street,
four lots above the Jones building. He will open a restaurant as soon as the
structure is completed.

Geo. M. Shrock has bought the half interest of Wm. Webb in the Producer group on
Lightning Peak. This group consists of three claims, adjoins the Standard on the
north and extends toward Cornis Creek. James LeRoy is the other owner.

The proprietor of the Amusement Hall is building a house for rent on his lot above
his place of business and soon he is to commence an addition on the latter. This
will be built on to the south side and will consist of an apartment for a family
with restaurant in front.

Friday was St. Patrick's day; it was observed to some extent in this camp. The very
first to arrive in town were C. J. Cronin and J. M. Green well decorated with the
colors of the patron saint. Mr. Green is a public spirited citizen. He knew that on
account of his name it was his duty to sacrifice his time and add to the levity of
the occasion he responded nobly.

We wish to correct a mistake occurring in the article on Rainbow Mountain - the
issue of March 11th. It was stated that "The Empress group is owned and controlled
by the 20th Century Company." The 20th Century has no interest in this property. It
is owned, controlled, and is now being worked by the Empress Mining & Milling
Company.

Lee Tanner, John Snyder and Andy Paulson arrived in camp last evening from
Clearwater. They spent the winter on Mr. Snyder's ranch. Mr. Tanner has returned to
take his place as blacksmith for the 20th Century Co. where he has been for the last
three years. Snyder and Paulson will work in the mines for the company. They report
a very hard and dangerous trip from Big Creek over the Snowslide summit to
Roosevelt.
