  If you don't know what the sign says. It reads: Silver was the key that opened the Slocan. Discovery in 1891 of the rich outcrops of the "Slocan Star" and "Payne" touched off the wildest lode excitement in our history. The silver-lead ore was easily and cheaply mined, speeding development, and the area boomed. Roads, towns and railways remain, linking the present with an era when silver was king.

  Thank you. I should have done that. I was trying to be so thorough when I did this and didn't think to do that.
