The Sunset, Rossland, has struck large
body of ore In Its southwest crosscut, and
has thereby also proved two things of gem
eral interest to the camp. according to the
Spokane Review. One is that Its No.
ledge keeps its general course, and the
other is that faults or breaks throw the
lodges to the left instead Of the right as
in the north belt. The main fact OF inter-
est to Sunset people, however, is that they
have struck large body of mixed ore at
q good depth. Three lodges have SO far
been discovered and prospected on the
property. but work Is now In progress on
No. ledge.
