SILVER MOUNTAIN VERY ACTIVE
 DISTRICT Lack of Transportation Facilities RetardS
 Development Prospective Investors Are Negotiating
 For Claims
(From Sundays Daiiy.)

Silver Mountain district, from one end to the other, according to a statement made yesterday by Charles Thompson of Columbia, is active in mine investment circles, and he is enthusiastic over the outlook. Mir Thompson arrived from the district yesterday, and will return home to- day. He says that in addition to the development going on, the many assessment workers are active, fin ishing their annual work.
 Many investors haave visited the section and the main objection ad vaneed is the deplOrable conditions of transportation. Fir this reason the community is eagerly awaiting the construction of the Territorial highway, which is surveyed through the heart of that region and along which many mines are located.
 Through this avenue, the district will be opened and its splendid min eral possibilities appreciated.
 MT. Thompson also states that sev. eral shipments of high grade gold ore are going out and some big re turns are anticipated. That section is exclusively a gold producing one and in early days was extensively mined for placer dust.
