The object of the Gilman Mining Machine is to dry and mine the bed
of Rogue River. It is built of steel on the order of a wing dam, 35 feet long
by 16 feet wide, and covers 250 surface feet at a setting. It is carried between
two 80-foot barges, containing hoisting apparatus, and is let down into the
river bed. The steel slides which are provided on both inner and outer dome
are then jacked down to conform to the uneven surface of the river bed. A
filler of dirt is then put in between the two domes. This completes the dam.
The object now is to remove the water from the inner dome, to enable us to
work therein with pick and shovel. This is accomplished by means of a sy
phon (on account of this method being more economical than pumps). The
intake pipe alongside the machine, is 24 inches in diameter and tapers down to
14 inches, which is the size of the syphon pipe. The syphon pipe hangs down
the river 1000 feet, which gives us 8 to 15 feet of drop. The valve in the intake
pipe is opened ; the current of the river fills this pipe as well as the syphon pipe,
than the valve is turned of and the weight of water in the syphon pipe takes
suction from the leg of syphon on the inner dome and the water from there is
drawn out. We are then ready to start with pick and shovel to work the
gravel, bed-rock and crevices, to the same advantage as though on a dry bar.
We use no power outside of that supplied by the current of the river it
self and are enabled to move the machine to a new location of 'J50 surface feet
for an expense of something less than $8.00 in three hours time.
Mr. Gilman, the inventor of this machine has spent the past five years
perfecting this machine for mining Kogue River and thirty to forty engineers,
(mining, civil and mechanical) have passed upon it, never one rendering an ad
verse opinion. The machine has been designed and built especially to meet the
conditions in Rogue River and it will, without doubt, perform this service suc
cessfully. ROGUE RIVER
Rogue River is undoubtedly one of the richest rivers in gold of any in
the world. The people of this community know something about what was
taken out of this river below Ray's dam. They also know that thousands of
dollars have been taken from the bars. Many of the creeks flowing into Rogue
River are very rich and have helped to feed gold to its bed. Then too, the
many slides have helped to enrich this river bed. This river for fifty miles
has been thoroughly prospected by ua and at the point where we will start
operations we have gotton over $02.00 to the pan. We therefore have positive
proof as to the values we may expect.
THE COMPANY
This Company was organized March 20th, 1908, under the Laws of Ore
gon, with a capital of only 150,000 shares. A sufficient number of these shares
is being sold to build and put into operation the first machine. After complet
ing the sale of this stock, there will be 10,000 shares reserved with which stock
it is intended to earn and accumulate a sufficient surplus to build furthtr ma
chines for operation in Rogue River, so that the stockholder in this Company
derives the benefit of all machines placed in Rogue River between Grants Pass
and the Coast and we expect to have in operation at least six of these maohines
by July 1st, 1909. The Company is organized along liberal lines; our Board of
Directors meetings are open to our stockholders and stockholders are kept in
close touch with the movements and actions of the Company. We employ
none but stockholders in our work, which makes us practically a co-operative
concern.
We have our barges completed and have already started with them to the
seat of our initial operations below Galice Creek.
Our machine will be on the ground within the next two weeks and we
will be in actual operation within 45 days.
Wo have raised all the money necessary to build, and pay for our ma
chine, barges, pipe etc., ' with tlie excep
tion of about $1200.00 and as soon as this
amount is raised there will be no stock
available at any price. We beliovo we
have a proposition which should appeal
especially to the people of Grants Pass
and vicinity and we invite them to see us,
investigate, see our working model, talk
the matter over and if yon don't believe
we have the biggest proposition and one
that will pay you the largest dividends of
any enterprise you ever heard of
and quickly don't buy any stock in it.
If you do believe we have an opportunity
for you to invest a small amount of
money in a sure, safe, big paying propo
sition buy some of the stock.
The opportunity will have come and
gone if you think about it long. There is
only a small amount of this stock left
and it has never been sold at less figure
than today 25 cents per share.
