No. 43
A NEW ELDORADO.
Ricdier Than Klondike.—One Dollar to
Shovel.—Plenty of It.—Will Rival
Nome’s Beach*.
A big strike has been made by
Lawrensonon Glenn Gulch, a trib
utary of Rhode Island creek, the
|
scene of the previous discovery of
O’Brien and Osborne. Dillon,
with a small rocker, took out $72
in a few hours. It is fine gold, the
largest piece weighing $145. A
large number of men are over the
divide staking and, from reports
just to hand, the gold-bearing chan
i
riel has been followed into Kentuck}' j
creek, where prospectors are work
ing hard to find the place where
the old channel crosses the creek.
Ths strike on Glenn Gulch has
created great excitement and the j
1
greater portion of the camp are
i
hastily packing a summer’s outfit;
and will spend the season looking ;
!
for some more rich ground, which
the present strike indicates is to be
had. C. B. Allen, who staked 1 j
j
below, has refused $25,000 for his
claim. Pans as high as $5 are
common on the creek.
J. Lawrence, an experienced and
conservative miner, has just re-1
turned from the scene of the strike.!
Mr. Lawrence says that it is the
richest ever made in this district,
overtopping Little Minook in its
most palmy days. He took out
$3°° in a space of ground 5x7 feet.
Twelve shovels of dirt thrown into
a crude rocker netted $12. Mr.
Lawrence is not an enthusiast, but
ventures the opinion that the Glenn
creek district will be the banner
producer next winter.
