SHIPPING FIFTY PER CENT
ORE FROM ANTIMONY MINE

J. II. Causten, the well known min
ing man, came in yesterday from An
telope Springs and registered at the
Eldorado. Mr.. Causten was one of the
pioneers Of National and although he
expended in the neighborhood of
s25 900 in leases, never struck any
thing worth working He removed to
Rochester shortly after the discovery
of that camp, and although one of the
first men on the ground, again met
with disappointment after expending
large amount of money.
But the tide has turned. Last July,
in company with w. d. Peregon, Mr..
Causten purchased a group of anti
mony claims at Antelope Springs, since
which time five carloads of ore have
been shipped which run around 80 per
cent. At this rate it viii not take the
genial mining man long to get even

ADVANCE
IN PAINLESS DENTISTRY

The public has been misled in many
instances by the advertising methods
employed by quack dentists. It is
against these members of the profes-
sion that the public is particularly
warned. The frst-class dentist will not
have to advertise in emblazoned let
ters; his work will be the testimony of
his ability. Often, when it is too late,
the gullible person, who has been
duped by the alluring statements of
the advertising quaek, finds out to his
lasting regret how much less expen-
sive in the long run is the work of the
first-elass dentist.
The old dread of the dentist is rapid
ly passing. This is due to the remark
able advance in painless dentistry dur
ing the past ten years. The extraction
of teeth used to be one of the most
painful treatments and was a shock
from which the system did not recover
for days. Oral surgeons now specialize
and limit their practice to extracting
teeth Their work is accomplished in
an incredibly short time and without
the slightest discomfort to the patient,
by the administration of a tasteless
and odorless combination of nitrous
oxide and oxygen. The patient can be
either partially or wholly anesthetized.
Analgesia, partial anesthesia, state
similar to " twilight Sleep" when the
patient is conscious but insensible to
pain, is produced for the preparation
Of cavities and root canals when teeth
are being filed; total anesthesia is
resorted to for extraction. The patient
awakens from the anesthetic quietly
and quickly after the tooth has been
extracted. The sensation is similar to
being awakened from a sound sleep.
One has no recollection of pain, and
often win not believe the tooth is out
until convinced by feeling the cavity.
Within FIVE minutes after the operation
he is in normal eondition.-Leslie S
