ON TOWNSHIP
AT GLENDALE
CONSIDERABLE EXCITEMENT RE.
SUITS AT NEW CAMP WHEN
FIND is MADE.

j. B. Tregloan, of this city, who
visited Glendale yesterday, stated
last evening that while excavating
was under way yesterday for the
construction of a building on the
main street of the new camp, pan
nings were taken from the dirt which
resulted in string of colors being
found. The discovery caused con-
siderable excitement among the in
habitants of the camp and the belief
now is that the whole townsite will
pan.
Mr.. Tregloan was present when
the first shots were fired in the work
of making an open cut on the big
strike. The operations were started
about ten feet below the ledge ia
the country rock and the cut will be
driven until the ledge is tapped. Aft
er a shipment is extracted the work
will be abandoned and a tunne'
started farther down the mountain
side.
L. L. Blumenthal and T. K. Lynch
were among the visitors present dur
ing the firing of the first shots at
the big ledge. Both gentlemen also
spent several minutes in helping drill
the holes, and consequently arc
proudly exhibiting blistered hands as
a result.
