The Hecla Consolidated Mining Company asked their Machinists at Glendale to construct a miniature cannon to commemorate important events in Glendale. Holidays and Child births were among the occasions that this cannon was fired. The following is an excerpt taken from the Dillon Tribune in 1889;

"The Machinists at the Hecla Smelter have constructed a smooth, bare, steel cannon of small caliber for use on the Forth of July and other occasions when noise is required to help the people rejoice. "
