I
PAYSTREAK IS LOCATED
On a bench over 1500 west of Glenn
Bar extends for over forty nilles
Ciolcl has been traced entire distance !
A continuation *of the Glenn j
I
gulch pay streak has been located
on Shirley's claim, which is over
i
1500 feet west of the gulch on the
bench. Pay has been found from
the moss down as far as the shaft
1
lias been sunk—tlnee feet. From!
this claim pans ranging from 5c to i
700- have been taken. This new
find has created considerable ntir
and a large uumber of men are now
working along the bar to the west
!
ward of Glenn.
A prospector who has followed
this bar for over forty miles, claims
he found prospects the entire dis-'
I
tance. The oniy drawback to the
new diggings at present, is the iack
of sufficient water for sluicing.
There is plenty' of water for rock
ers but with the installation of
dams and the fall rains now due,
it is expected that two sluice heads
can be had for two months yet.
The season on the Tauana side
is fully two months later than in
the Yukon valley, and correspon
ingly earlier in the t pring.
Marshal Perry left Eagle on the
Louise, bound for McNeils Island
with prisoners. It is now per- j
missible for American prisoners to
taken through Canadian territory.
