| In this New Year, let's all take a moment to be thankful for the sacrifices our men and women in uniform are making, say a prayer for them and their families. Also pray for our leaders in these times, as always, that they make wise decisions and keep our country safe and free. |

Sun Stones Inc...
For those who have searched for
Oregon Sunstones on the Club’s claims
in the Rabbit Basin: Have you ever
wondered what that cluster of trailers
off to the east was? The group of
trailers is the camp area of Sunstones,
Inc. (SI). SI is a corporation, formed in
1991, owned by 35 shareholders, and
we have nine sunstone claims to the
east of the RAC claims.
The corporation takes care of the
administrative tasks associated with the
BLM and the mining claims. The
corporation also operates and maintains
claims for the benefit of the
shareholders. Each individual
shareholder has the opportunity to
prospect and mine for sunstones
according to their schedule, on what are
essentially their private claims. Mining
methods are restricted to hand tools
and small power tools so that all
shareholders have an equal opportunity
to find stones. We do not permit any
public or fee digging. However,
shareholders may invite guests to come
out and dig with them.
The corporation currently maintains
three pit areas for access by the
shareholders. Our colored stones are
generally not as large as found on other
claims, but they are usually of high
quality and vivid color. Our schiller
stones are large and unrivaled for
quality. The digging is easy as the
corporation generally keeps the pit
areas clean. The corporation also
usually maintains piles of excavated
material that can be screened for those
who do not wish, or are unable, to dig in
the pits.
Currently, there are several shares
available for transfer if anyone is
interested in moving up to a more
serious sunstone experience. The cost
of a share is quite reasonable. If you are
interested, or would like more
information, please give me a call. Dick
