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. . Every
thing about the plant is Immense. A
visit to the plant Is required to ob-

Envious eyes viewed It and envious

urday. Fifty-six ounces at approxi

fifty-six is oh. let's call it $850.
And sevetal pieces of ore almost solid
gold, which brought up the total way
beyond that. 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. The gold did not
come from a pocket, either, but from
a nice fat vein tbat looks like It
would last clear into the center of
the earth. It looks like a big thing
and Dave's friends are congratulating
him.
