GOLD MOUNTAIN

The Gold Mountain country district
has taken great strides to the front
during the past year, II now looks as
II that camp will within the next two
years take rank among the most i'm
portant mining camps Of the State. It
is a good producing district and the
extensive preparation now being made
by the Kimberly Huck people will re-
suit in much prestige being given tho
camp next year. A great deal Of ac-
tiyity is seen on every hand, and II Is
extremely probable that the known
riches Of the Annie Laurie and Golden
Star mines will be duplicated by other
properties at no distant day.
