Good News From Rawhide
The following letter will be of interest to the stockholders of the Rawhide Gold Quartz Mining company in
Minot, and will give some idea of what is being done. The letter is written to Dr. C. F. Sweet, president of the company and signed by Charles Good, mine superintendent at Rawhide.
"Rawhide, Nev., May 23. 1908.
Dr. C. F. Sweet, Minot, N. D.:
Dear Doctor,—Your letter of the 17th received yesterday. We are still pounding away in the main tunnell are now in some ninety odd feet. We are cutting aniImmense dacite dike, and cut some ryolite stringers a couple of days ago, one of which assayed 1.88 and the other 16.oz. The cleavage on the wall assayed 113.00. Of course you understand we cannot afford to follow any of the stringers, but it shows there are good values
where the stringers spring from. If the main ledge that we are driving for shows up as good we have a bonanza right here. Let me tell you that if we get $100 ore in the near future—and it is a cinch we will—do not issue any more stock at fifteen cents. Just let enough of it go at that 'price to keep us going on the works. The Royal Tiger people are driving for the same ledge. They are about 300 feet to the east of us and are
now in about 190 feet. They expect to cut it withing the next 40 or 50 feet. Unless it dips to the north they will get a depth of about 130 feet. We will atrike it at about the 100-foot level. The Royal workings are about 1,200 feet south of us, and are down about the 80-foot level and are drifting towards our workings.
They are shipping ore right along and are working three shifts. I visited the Bluebird yesterday and found seven outfits working, all strung out on one ledge about 100 feet apart, some of them down from 30 to 80
feet and all getting good alues. There is only one claim between the Silver Moon and them. There are some
workings to the east of the Mabel M. and Silver Moon on the Valley group, but I couldn't find out what they are getting, so you see we are right among the good ones and are bound to make good. I saw a bunch of
placer gold the other day that came from t'he main wash just south of the camp that looked good to me—nuggets that would weigh at least $10 or $12. They get it at a depth of 90 feet. The weather is getting warm, but there is not much sickness now.
Yours truly,
C. M. GOOD.

Dr. C. F. Sweet in Charge of Mandan Dental Clinic
Dr. C. F. Sweet, well known Minot dentist, who is now specializing on tooth extraction, had charge of an important dental clinic at Mandan, N. D., last week which was largely attended by dentists from various sections of the state.
Topics discussed were "The administration of Nitrous Oxide and Oxygen Gas" and "The Extraction of Teeth."
Practical demonstrations were given by Dr. Sweet, assisted by Miss Brown, who administered the gas.
A study club was formed for the benefit of the profession, to which any dentist in good standing may belong.
Mrs. Sweet accompanied the Doctor as far as Bismarck, visiting with friends in that city.

Sweet Family Will Have Reunion.
Dr. and Mrs. C. F. Sweet left Wednesday for Minneapolis to meet the Doctor's brother, a well known eastern shoe manufacturer, member of the firm of Lunn A Sweet, of Auburn, Maine. The brother has had phenomenal success in the shoe manufacturing game and is the sole manager of the institution since the death of his partner some years ago. The company sold five million dollars worth of shoes for delivery this year. The Doctor has two sisters living in Minneapolis and his father, K. C. Sweet, is now a resident of Mankato, Minn., so the Sweet family will have an enjoyable reunion. They expect to return to Minot Monday.

MINOT DENTAL OFFICE ADMIRABLY EQUIPPED
C.F. Sweet Who Specializes in Extraction and X-Ray Work Has Equipment Second to None in the West
The fact that Minot is rapidly getting into the class of other important metropolitan cities, is evidenced by the improvements made and equipment installed by Dr. C. F. Sweet, one of the most efficient and best known dentists of North Dakota. Dr. Sweet, who specializes in X-ray work, extracting and the straightening of children's teeth, has equipped a suite of rooms in the Robbins block, South Main street, at an expense of a good many thousand dollars. The doctor was a little skeptical as to whether the returns would be commensurate with the outlay, but he has proven during the few months that his especially equipped place has been opened, that there is a good field for the practice which he has undertaken.
The doctor has two main work rooms and while he is treating one patient, his attistants may be preparing another for his attention. The rooms are all done in a pure white enamel. No operating room in any hospital could possibly be more sanitary. Everywhere there is a tendency to guard against the ever prevalent germ. All tools are kept under roll tops. There are the cabinets for the water glasses which are sterilized before being used. All instruments are cleansed in a sterilizer electrically heated. Ordinary distilled water is supposed to be pure, yet the doctor has still where he re-distills the distilled water and it is surprising what a large amount of sediment is taken out. One may buy distilled water, yet within twenty-four hours, spores may be found in it. The doctor is not satisfied iwth using merely distilled and re-distilled water. Before he uses it, it must be boiled. It would not surprise us at all to see a sign on the doctor's door, reading something like this: "Dr. Sweet, D. T. G. (Death to Germs.)
For the patients who desire to use gas, the place is admirably equipped, having a gas apparatus in each operating room. Gas is piped under the floor from large concealed gas tanks. There is compressed air for the atomizers and warm air syringes connected for treating teeth. There are faucets which are operated with the foot, the same as in the large hospitals. The cuspidors are placed on adjustable brackets. The doctor has a main office where a complete record is made of each case, all carefully filed in a card index. At the rear of the suite are the den and private office. There's a bath room and a X-ray room. The doctor has one of the largest X-ray machines in the west, equipped with electrical timers for taking the pictures. He has a well equippped dark room where pictures may be gotten out and a diagnosis made within six minutes.
The place is so admirably equipped that with his two assistants, he is able to take care of forty or fifty patients in a day easily.
Dr. Sweet is the oldest dentist in Minot in point of service. He came here in 1900 and for many years was engaged in the general practice of dentistry. He ha staken special work at frequent intervals and has kept up in the foremost ranks of his profession. While he does not care for night work particularly, his operating rooms are equipped with 300 candle power lights that turn night into day whenever it becomes necessary to give a patient immediate attention.

In ailing health for some time, Dr. Sweet closed his dental offices early this month and with Mrs. Sweet had gone to Mankato, Minn., for a visit with relatives. From there he was taken to Rochester for medical attention and while there suffered a broken hip in a fall. His condition since had been critical.

Dr. Sweet was a charter member of the Minot Rotary club and had a 22 year record of perfect attendance at meetings. As he lay ill at Rochester, the Minot club voted him an honorary membership, thru which the attendance record remained complete, despite his absence because of illness.

In the Masonic order he belonged to Star in the West lodge, No. 33, A. F. and A. M., and was a 32nd degree member in the Scottish Rite bodies.
Born in Fort Wayne, Ind., July 21, 1874, Dr. Sweet moved to Minnesota early in life. He studied dentistry at the University of Minnesota and was proud of the fact that he helped to finance his course by working as a plumber.
Soon after graduation he opened offices in Minot and had remained here thruout the intervening years.
Planned to Return
During recent years he had been a specialist in exodontia. When he closed his offices here a few weeks ago he announced that they were being closed temporarily and that he would return after a visit in Minnesota. He and Mrs. Sweet had planned to spend the winter in Texas.
Formerly a hunting enthusiast for many years, Dr. Sweet had been interested in golf and was a former stockholder in the Minot Country club.
Dr. F. J. Hartl who came to Minot in 1911 was associated with Dr. Sweet for 2 years, until opening his own offices and Dr. V. E. Sandberg, now of Franklin, Ind., also at one time was associated with Dr. Sweet.
