Silverton, Or, April 20.--Since the
Silver Falls Timber company's S mill has
| become an assured fact there seems to
have number of other industries
bobbed up, causing as much supposition
and excitement as did the first talk of
the mill. Now the loganberry manu-
factory, the big Weyerhauser Lumber
company's s mill, and the rich aluminium
mines right at the edge of our little city
! is being discussed by every one either
directly or indirectly interested. A
mining expert has been here and states
that there is aluminium in the soft rock
interlaid with the volcanic ash that COW
ers a vast area lying south and east of
this city. Should this indeed be true
and the talk of the other industries ma
terialize Silverton would soon be the
center Of attraction, and that the boom
mas already started is manifested in the
activities in real estate business, and
the many strangers seen on the streets.
