| engaged in driving a tunnel on the
j Nuka Bay Mining Company prop

| Mr. Sobol will return to his home
at Hope shortly where he will again
join his partner, Pete Kopovich in
developing a promising gold quartz
i property known as the Sunshine
1 Group which consists of four
claims. They also have two claims
| outside the group in the same area.
Extensive development work has
already been done on the group
covering a period of eight years,
Sobol said. One hundred and fifty
feet of tunnel has been driven in
on the first location and 180 feet
in the second tunnel which was
started 250 feet below in an effort
to tap the vein at that depth. A
third tunnel has also ben started
considerably farther down in the
foothills.
The vein averages 18 inches in
width and carries good values. The
average assay runs about $25 per
ton although some has assayed as
high as $300 on the old gold basis.
Canadian interests made a brief
inspection of the property this
summer and were impressed with
the possibilities of the group; they
stated they would make an extend
ed survey of the property when
they return North next spring.
The property is situated 10 miles
