The Southern Pacific Company is digging vast quantities of auriferous gravel from a gravel pit near Gold Hill and ballasting the railroad with it in Southern Oregon. The gravel pit occupies the bed of an ancient channel and carries gold in quantity. The workmen engaged in the work of digging up the gravel have picked up a number of valuable nuggets. One man took a bucketful of the gravel and panned it out securing «2.50 in dust and small nuggets. For a while there were a number of miners engag ed in crading the yellow grains with rocker and pan at tbe pit, but the railroad company has now forbidden this, it is not many railroad compan ies that can afford to ballast their tracks with placer gravel, much of which is worth «100 per too.
