Monster Cement Works at Gold Hill Few people In the Rogue River valley seem to realize that a $300, 000 cement plant has been construct ed at Gold Hill and will be in opera tion with a capacity of 1,000 barrels of cement a day, as soan as a few pieces of machinery arrive from the east and are installed. Although no definite date has been set, actual op eration is expected In September, and cement will be shipped out in small quantities through the fall. At pres ent the plant is practically complet ed. Just now Gold Hill is the liveliest place on the map. Seventy-five men are now at work at the cement plant, putting "'fifty-ton grinding machines in place, painting and finishing touches on the larger buildings and getting everything in shape for final operation. . Some Idea of the extent of the property may be gathered from the fact that the land covered alone totals 900 acres, that the limestone already blocked out, which averages 98 per cent purity, is sufficient to produce 1,000 barrels of cement every day for fifty years. In addi tion to this there will be a large out put of agricultural fertilizer. The buildings alone cover a space approxi mately 35,000 square feet, there Is a mile of three and four rail trackage within the property, a water reser voir with 75,000 gallons capacity, with complete fire protection equip ment, several five-ton ore cars, five 200-horsepower electric motors, an oil reservoir, oil gun for firing fuel into . the kiln, four giant crushers about the size of a house, a chemical laboratory, blacksmith shops, elevat ors, bridges, so much, In fact, that a normal citizen visiting the plant be comes obsessed with the Idea that he has been transported to Pitts burg or Gary, Ind., and can't be in our pastoral Rogue River valley. The plant cost something over $500,000, but a all the contracts were made before the present war, It Is estimat ed the property Is now worth $100,- 000 more than in 1914. .

No wonder the old min ing men gathered around. The gold was the result of the plean-up for ten days' work by three men over on the Hungry creek claims which Dave Good tfnd Messrs. Lowery and Watt of Butte, Mont., recently purchased. George Sackett and L. Durg have been working the mine with Mr. Good.
