Sunnyside Claim
The Sunnyside Claim is one amongst several claims worked by the Sunflower
Mining Company. This claim consists of underground workings accessed by
two adits and a shaft. The cinnabar ore was found in a veinlet measuring
3 inches at its widest and contained limonite.
Other notable minerals include malachite and chrysocolla, however these
were not known to be exploited here. The cinnabar was likely sent by wagon
and later truck to the main processing facility of the Sunflower Mine.
