SUNSET BEACH IS
SPREADING OUT
ONE OF THE NEWEST HOME
SITES ON THE COAST
NOVEL DEVELOPMENT METHOD
Large Hotel in Course of Erection.
Laqoons to Be Extended-Pleas=
ure Pier and Electric Light
System Projected

Sunset Beach is one of the newest
tracts on the Southern California coast
but in the less than a year of it's his
tory it has had a remarkable building
boom, thirty houses having been COM
pleted and several more being under
construction. The beach is midway
between Long Beach and Huntington
Beach, on the Pacific Electric line and
is lowland, not more than three feet
above high tide at its highest point
The tract is a mile long and 300 feet
wide, back of it being a natural la
COON and back of that more lowland.
The Sunset Land and Water COM
pany owns Sunset Beach and also acts
as agent, having an office in the tract
and in Los Angeles. The company
was formed about year ago to
acquire Sunset Beach and the organ
zers took a novel method to insure
building on the tract. Each stock
holder was allotted two lots in lieu of
the first year dividend providing he
agreed to build house on one of the
lots. If he did not agree to do that he
got no dividend at all and the building
boom before noted was the result.
Nearly all the houses that have gone
up belong to stockholders who intend
to make the place their summer home.
The company intends Sunset Beach tC
be purely residence place and there
are no stores of any kind there.
The chief enterprise under way at
the new place is a two-story, 20-room
hotel, in which the company has in
vested $5000 1t will be completed by
the middle of June. A bath house is
being constructed on the beach and
pier is to be extended into the ocean.
Later the lagoon back of the tract
is to be dredged out At present it is
not of much practical use at low tide,
When it has been deepened a boat
house will be placed on it. George
Williams is the local representative of
the company and has charge of the
improvement plans. He has secured
artesian water and sewerage for the
houses and will install an electric light
ing system this year.
Sunset Beach land has not reached
very high prices yet and a good many
bargains are being picked up there.
The prices range from 1915 up. Ocean
front lots bring about $500, with a lit
tic more for corner lots.

DEEPEST GOLD MINE

The deepest gold mine in the world
is at Bendigo. in Australia. The mine
in question is called the New Chum
Railway mine, and its main shaft is
sunk to the very great depth of 5000
feet, or only sixty feet short of three-
quarters of a mile.
The chief problem in working this ex-
tremely deep mine is how to keep the
tunnels and general workings cool
enough for the miners to work The
emperature-usually about 1OS degrees
is terribly enervating, and to enable
the men to work at all spray of cold
water is let down from above and kept
continually playing on the bodies
naked from the waist upward-of the
miners.
