Followers of this blog and friends will know of my on-going involvement with the Sunny Corner mining site. I thought I had pretty much mined all the Australian newspapers for relevant information. Imagine my surprise when I found an article in Australian Town and Country Journal 23 Mar 1895: 31 on the mines at Sunny Corner.
Then I found it was illustrated!
Then I realised that apart from the Sunny Corner mine there was a rare illustration of the Silver King mine as well.
This is the Sunny Corner Mine
This is the Silver King Mine
The Silver King image gives a really good sense of where the processing plant was located in the landscape.
It is exciting to be surprised by discoveries like this.
