The Prospector And Thunder Mountain News April 1, 1905
Locals

Charles E. Curtis has opened a saloon at Belleco.

Wm. Queeney has gone to Middle Fork of the Salmon.

Mrs. Sam Hancock is spending a few days with Mrs. Pannkake at the Y. H.

Bert Merridth and Claude Taylor went to work at the Dewey Wednesday.

E. M. Thornton returned Thursday ... (page torn).

Mrs. Morris went to Belleco this morning where she will take charge of the Sunnyside
boarding house.

A. A. Lyden, R. B. MacGregor and Ed. Lewis arrived from the Ramey Ridge country the
27th ult.

Mrs. Charles E. Curtis and family, Mis. C. M. Taylor and Mrs. Hasbrook took the
stage this morning for Boise.

H. C. Ailport, the sub-contractor for this end of the mail route, arrived Thursday
afternoon with a sleigh load of mail. Mr. Ailport made great efforts to get the mail
in.

E. L. Reid is quite sick. Stage-driver Ailport went to the Southwest Fork of
Monumental Friday morning and brought him to town. We hope he will soon be about
again.

McCrum & Deary, of Boise, always carry a first class stock of drugs and medicines.
They make a specialty of mail order business, and solicit Thunder Mountain trade.
See their advertisement.

A petition was circulated last week praying the county commissioners to declare the
Thunder Mountain Road a county road and appoint a road supervisor. R. D. Almond was
named as supervisor, and the petition was universally signed.

Ed. Collins, while working in the Blue Point tunnel at the 20th Century, narrowly
escaped death last Saturday. While timbering the tunnel a huge boulder weighing
nearly a ton fell from the roof grazing his head and shoulder. He is not seriously
injured though disabled for a few days.


The Summit House was the scene of much activity Wednesday evening when 21 men with
the Sunnyside machinery spent the night there. Fully 50 horses were tied about the
grounds.

Fred Roesch is putting up a dwelling house 16x24 feet in the clear on his lot south
of the pioneer meet [sic] market. He will set it back from the street so that the
front of the lot may be used as a business location.

S. L. Gillam has a very fine mountain sheep's head, a present from Ed. Myers, which
he will have mounted and hang as an ornament in his saloon. He has quite extensive
decorations in mind which we shall report later.

Says the Mining Recorder: "An important mining deal was recently made in Kansas City
whereby George Brant transferred his interest in the Brant Mining & Milling Company
for an interest in the Golden Islet, situated in Jones gulch. New officers were
elected for the Golden Islet Mining & Milling Company, as follows: J. G. McKnight,
president; S. E. Bowerman, vice-president; J. F. Mensing, secretary and treasurer."
Geo. Brant is well known in this section as the local manager of the Brant Mining &
Milling Company.

I have been requested to state my prices for professional services; they are as
follows: A common extraction, without anaesthetics [sic], $1.00; absolutely painless
extraction, $2.50; seemless [sic] gold crown, 22k.-30 gague [sic], $10 to $15; for
bridge work, $10 to $12.50; plates from, $25 to $100; silver fillings $1.50 to
$2.00; platinum fillings, $2.50 to $3.00; gold fillings, $3.50 up. A word in regard
to the painless extraction: I am inventor of an anaesthetic [sic] which has taken me
years to complete, and the experiments incidental thereto have cost much time,
trouble and money. Ask those who have used my anaesthetic [sic] if I missrepresent
[sic] its effect. In no dental parlors outside, can you get first-class work done
cheaper than I do it and the after effects commonly known to painless extraction,
are not known to my patients since my anaesthetic [sic] is local in its effect. I do
all kinds of dental work known to the profession. I avoid giving needless pain in
all dental operations. Ask your friends about this. I take personal interest in my
patients and so assume to refer you to any of them. C. T. JONES, D. D. S.
