more extensive development work than
the district has yet seen.
SUNSHINE woNDE1
The continued development on the
Sunshine Wonder is resulting in increas-
ing promise. The shaft was started on
a stringer of quartz. which, at the pres
emit depth of Sc feet, has widened to IS
inches. The values are not yet high,
but the quartz is Of excellent quality.
Four veins have been uncovered or the
Sunshine ground. but upon the recon-
mendation of Jack Schweble, who made
about two months ago and reported on
1t favorably, 1t was decided to concen-
trate the work for the present in the
shaft which is now being sunk. 1t is the
intention to drift at the 100-foot level.
TUNNEL on PEARL WONDER
A tunnel has been started by the
DArcys on the Pearl Wonder ground.
which, adjoining the Desert Wonder. the
Quartzite and the Fautina, is particular
ly well located. Assays from the outcrop-
pings have run as high as $3.50. 1t is
estimated that the ledge will be cut at
about 100 feet, with a depth Of 100 feet.
The DArcys were induced to begin de-
veiopment at this time through the
highly encouraging results Of the an
nual assessment work. which was done
by Billy Ackman. He ran a u into the
ledge. and found it. at a depth Of Is feet,
to be even richer in ore than on the sur
face.
