A LOST MINING CAMP.
Silver Mountain, once a famous mining camp of Idaho for a few weeks, is now deserted except for one citizen, a forest ranger. The deserted town on tho top of Silver Mountain had a mush-room-like growth thirty' years ago, when an English syndicate decided that the place had a wonderful mining future. Money was poured into the enterprise, and a town and a quartz mill were built. Altogether it is estimated by pioneers that a million and a half in good money was sunk in the project. Tho mill ran just ten days, the “mine” gave out, and it was not long before the place was deserted.
