Final Plans for Diamond Jubilee Are Made Here Float for Mineral Souvenir Publicity Pioneer Parade, Exhibit Ready; Nuggets to Get for City. Mining days of the pioneer era around Gold Hill will be the theme of Gold Hill’s float which has been entered in the big Pioneer Day parade of the Oregon Diamond Jubilee next Thursday, at Medford. Remarkable progress has bee.i been made on the float in the last few days, and it will soon be com pleted. A miner’s cabin probably very much like the one which rose near the site of first mining operations on Old Gold Hill, just up the river from our town, has been built on a float, and it faces a tunnel entrance >n the hillside. Miners will be active with pick shovel, wheel barrow and rocker, as the parade progresses through the streets of Medford, and spectators will get a vivid impres sion of early day mining here, as well as a fine opinion of present day Gold Hill for taking such a fine part in the parade. Other projects in which Gold Hill will be represented during Jubileer week are the mining exhibit at the fair grounds, and the flower show, which will be held at the junior high school. The flowers will be on display the last three days of the week, and the Gold Hill Garden club plans to have a small booth. In dividual entries can also be made. Valu.hk* .advertising or the town will be secured in a novel way dur ing the week, as badges carrying nuggets, with the compliments of the city of Gold Hill, as a souvenir of the Jubilee, will be distributed to visitors at the mining booth. The ribbons are being printed this week bearing the inscription, “Souvenir Oregon Diamond Jubi lee, 1934, Courtesy City of Gold Hill." The nuggets will be fastened to tiny safety pins, and attached to the ribbons. Still another case in which Gold Hill will cooperate in celebrating Oregon's 75th birthday, is to aid tourists by giving them information. A booth is to be erected at the main intersection here, where visitors can inquire as to tourist camps, or other lodging, and secure programs of the week. Suggestions for inter esting side trips will also be given, so that anyone wishing to visit places of interest, between jubilee events may do so. The general committee which has planned Gold Hill’s part in the week includes W. H. Ferguson, general chairman; Chas. Kell, Toney Ross, Mrs. Cleo Gilchrist. Paul Thompson, and Mrs. R. E. Blankenburg. Mr. Blankenburg has served as publicity chairman. They have been ably assisted by many others, Alvin Guidi and Ed Bolt doing the carpenter work on the float, R. E. Cook and others nt the cement plant making the nuggets for the badges, and Dick Walker, II. D, Reed and Geo. Haff have been busy collecting mining specimens.
