FALKEKBERU VISITS GLEN
Editor Forunt:—The Eagle Min
ing Co. certainly has a swift dog
team. Belsea and myself started
from Rampart at noon on Monday
and arrived at Glen early in the
evening. Both of us were riding
as far as 106, and from there took
turn about.
The Eagle Mining Co. have
several large dumps to be washed
up and a large piece of ground yet
to be worked.
Tofty & Butler have taken out a
large amount of good pay on their
lay.
Frank Stevens’ claim looks prom
ising.
Lynn & Christenson are making
sluice boxes.
Miller & Oslin have a lay from
Stevens.
Fancher & Hudson are working
a self-dumper on Glen.
Dad Foster is proprietor of Glen
roadhouse. He is popular with
the boys, for there is a large crowd
there every evening.
On Wednesday, Belsea, Beards
ley and Tofty^went calling with
me. We went to Eureka, What
Cheer bar and Doric creek. On
Eureka we called on Sewell &
<*tjk
Jentzen, and had lunch with Hen
derson, Scribbner & Grunder.
-On What Cheer bar, Scott, Dal
ton, Faulkner, Wood and Green
are fixing up sluiceboxes and doing
some thawing. - They washed a
pan that went 40 cents. Scott says
be is the engineer until something
goes wrong; then Faulkner takes
the lever.
On Doric creek we called on
Thumm & Boothby. Young and
Bush are with them. We went
down in their drifts and scratched
around in search for nuggets, of
which we found quite a number.
Thumm presented me with a sam
ple. Thumm invited us over to
the cabin, where we were enter
tained for an hour or so.
Friday I called on the boys on
Gold Run, Omega and Thanksgiv
ing creeks. The boys on Gold
Run are: Jones, Baldry, Hatch,
McQuary, Howe. Gill & Wright,
Green & Lawrence, Lovel and
McKenzie and others. They were
all busy, but gathered together
and visited with me for a while.
i y
Called on Eddy Powers, who is
working hard. Mikkie is with him.
The boys working on Thanks
giving creek are: Fisher, Nick
Nelson, Anderson & Olson, Weg
ner & Hederstrom. Meston, Krast
ing & Carlson. We all assembled
in Fisher’s cabin and stayed there
about an hour. This new creek
shows up a number of large dumps
with good pay.
Hurried back to Glen to meec
Jim McHugh, with whom I re
turned.
. -
During my stay I was a guest of
the Eagle Mining Co., who have
very comfortable quarters and an
excellent chef—everybody knows
George Klapproth.
Judging from the amount of work
and dumps taken out, I should say
that this cleanup will equal, if not
surpass, that of any previous year
on the sunny side of the iivide.
