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-ahle natural resources awaiting development immediately contiguous to its corporateriimits. G Tlie rushing current of Rogue river—teeming with gamy salmon, trout and steelhead—offers at a compara tively slight cost per developed horsepower aa 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. • •• FILTERED WATER HE following 1« a Bat of mining proper- tie« in the region contiguous to Gold Hill, classified as to their ri-s,iecUve districts: Kanes Greek: Revenue, Alice, Mendenhall, Roaring Gimlet, Braden, .Millionaire, Centen nial placer, and many other«; also the Hughes anil Householder lime quarries.

T ELECTRIC LIGHTS ('O L D HILL 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 are here, and all undeveloped. The rich surface gold deposits, both placer and quartz, have been worked for fifty years, and have paid and are still paying handsomely. * There is no deep mining. This will come later, and when it does it is freely predicted that Gold Hill will become one of the greatest camps the west has ever seen- 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 »m e 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 H ill has them all.
