February in the silverton Camp.

have ever visited Silverton. Here

only fragments will remain by the
time this young old year slides past
the gates of eternity. When the
bell was rung at the end of January,
and the production of the mines was
summed up in carload lots and offic-
tally announced at 20l, Mr.. Dubious
stood aloof and scoffed at the idea
that the same rate would be main
