GOLD HILL, JACKSON COUNTY, OREGON
OREGON
SEWERS
• ••
CEMENT WALKS
HILL has a natural site for a city, built as it is on
G OLD
the banks of Rogue river, at the gateway to the won­ T
derful valley of the same name- The setting for a city is
here—picturesque and inspiring—and if the law of natural
development works as it should, the setting will some day,
and that not far distant, be filled by a city such as southern
Oregon may not boast at present. The town takes its
name from Gold Hill mountain, so called because nearly
half a million dollars was taken from a ledge at a point
near its summit in the early fifties. No town in southern
Oregon has a greater list of actual, get-at-able natural
resources awaiting development immediately contiguous
to its corporate limits.
The rushing current of Rogue river—teeming with
gamy salmon, trout and steelhead—offers at a compara­
tively slight cost per developed horsepower an abundance
of power for any and all industrial development. And
speaking of hunting—the neighboring hills are the happy
hunting grounds of southern Oregon. No hunter returns
without plenty of venison, and generally he brings in the
legal limit. Cougar, bear, panther and coyotes may be
had by those who care to hunt them, and several trappers
in the vicinity make good money each winter on the finer
furs.

C O L D IIILL is the center of a rich mineral district.
Gold, copper, iron, cement rock, brick and potter’s
clay, shale, lime—the purest on the continent, according
to government geological reports—all arc here, and all
undeveloped. The rich surface gold deposits, both placer
and quartz, have lieen worked for fifty years, and have
paid and are still paying handsomely. There is no deep
mining. This will come later, and when it docs it is freelv
predicted that Gold Hill will become one of the greatest
camps the west has ever seen-
'J
A mountain of high-grade cement rock lies just south
of the town, and a mountain of high-grade hematite iron
just north—both undeveloped. A bituminous coal belt
many square miles in extent lies seven miles north of the
town—undeveloped. This is in the Sams Valley and
Meadows districts, comprising some of the finest land
for fruit and general farming in southern Oregon. An
eleven-foot vein of black lignite has been uncovered in
the Meadows, and samples of coal taken from wells in
Sams Valley have been proven by analysis and forge tests
to be of high quality.
Capital is invited to investigate the Gold Hill district,
either before or after investigating other districts, whether
the object of the investigation is mines, timber, cement,
lime, brick and tile clay, timber, coal, power, or a location
for a sanitarium or tourists’ hotel—Gold Hill has them all.
