the latter has had the advantage of more digging notwithstanding this however sunshine la Is today one of the thriftiest thrift iest in the sisterhood of mining camps and an d in another season when ullen developments now in progress proe reba on that part of the zono zone have fructified N will III be able to point to as a many improvements as its rival an on the north een at this time and it Is

Sherm nn chart charles 14 jacobs and frank officer had their attention drawn to that portion of the district where tile tho butts bulls boys had driven in on tile outcrop and exposed a breast of ore it was quite heavily impregnated with cinnabar but the owners at that time lime knew little of its significance and when hen a proposition was made them they seized upon it having obtained possession the new owners began systematic developments and continued them until today there re are about feet of workings nearly all 1 in ore the main incline han having ing now been put nut tor for goo feet in december last a will mill tor for the handling of its ores was put in operation and with the success of at the sunshine as a stimulus prospecting lim has extended in all directions until today not a foot fool of ground in the vicinity Is open to location it Is tile the intention lot 1 of the company to increase the capacity pac ity of the tha mill through ii aich sixty tons of ore a day is now passing and in a very short time the earnings of 0 the bonanza will no doubt bo be doubled AT WORK ON development among the developments that ha have ve been inspired by the su success C of the sunshine are those on the red cloud which Is under the management of mr air T A wickersham and which pro promises an early regard for the money that has been expended on it work on oil the old fied
