General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit Discussion by Lovering (USGS PP-178, p. 79) lumps Glendale with Grand Trunk, Treasue Vault, and Israel Williams group of claims and describes them as crossing the "crest of the high spur from Collier Mountain that leads to Silver Mountain, and it laps down into the valley of West Geneva Creek on the south and into Warden Gulch on the north." Glendale is in Warden Gulch according the mentions in the Orphan Boy book by Young (2007).
