Considerable surface trenching is be-

located at Camp Sunrise. and recently

countered but to what extent has not
yet been determined

Reports from the Boulder are very
encouraging. The crosscut is now in
l55 feet and the formation is rapidly
changing from a decomposed andesite
p~orphyry to a spar mixed with ledge
matter. The cut has been run along a
wall that is very mooth and dips to the
east. The management anticipate that
as considerable water has been en-
countered the ledge will soon be struck.

doubled during the past week. The
