Southern Montana Telephone line boosts Big Hole region
Frank A Hazelbaker, secretary treasurer, notes Southern Montana Telephone company earned steadily since its 3 year existence. The Dillon to Bannack line expanded to two exchanges in Jackson and Wisdom, with 150 miles of laterals and over 100 active phones. Ranchers pay 2 dollars monthly for basin-wide talks, and the system connects with Rocky Mountain Bell for wider reach. It has spurred mining interest and broader service beyond the Big Hole.
