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.
