It is learned on good authority that the Sunflower mill will be in operation some time in the early part of the winter. Work will begin in about a week to get the mill in shape. The mill's last campaign cam-paign was under the direction of Dirk Bryant, Fred Snow and Bob Weiss. This time it is said that the mill will be managed by the party of Kimball and Barker. It will consume the ores from the Ophir and Rice mines. Tyion and Buehl, who own and op-' urate the Rice mines, nrc optimistic over the showing of ore in the faco of the Jumbo tunnel. Eight feet of. the vein assays from six dollars to ten dollars per ton in gold, while a streak a foot wide on the foot wall assays from ten to thirty dollars per ton in gold, and picked samples will run well up into the thousands of dollars. dol-lars. With tho tunnel 400 feet into the mountain and a depth of approximately approx-imately 275 feet, the management says that there is enough ore in sight to keep the mill in operation for, years to come. o Jim Roberts and his son Jess continue con-tinue to hnul ore down from the Ophir . - mine to modenn with uninterrupted regularity. It looks as if there was something doing at the Ophir, but the Ophir is not the only Stateline property prop-erty that can produce shipping oie. Although it is the main mine of this camp, below is a list of mines that can and have shipped ore: Sidewinder, Creole, Sunflower, Johnny, Rocky Mountain, Burro, Utah Spur and Rice Mines.
