"Gold Hill, Oregon
GOLD HILL is the center of a rich mineral district.
Gold, copper, iron, cement rock, brick and potter's
day, shale, lime the purest on the continent, according
to government geological reports all are here, and all
undeveloped. The rich surface gold deposits, both plaear
and quartz, have been worked for fifty years, and hiivo
paid and are still paying handsomely. There is no dddp
mining. This will come later, and when it docs it is freely
predicted that Gold Hill will become ono of tho greatest
camps the west has ever seen
A mountain of high-grade cement rook lies just south
of the town, and a mountain of high-grade hematito 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 tho finest la'ilti
for fruit and general farming in southern. Oregon. lYn
eleven-foot vein of black lignito has been uncovered in
,the Meadows, and samples of coal tukon from wells in
Sams Valley have been proven by analysis and forgo tests
to bo of high quality.
Capital is invited to investigate the Gold Hill district,
either before or after investigating other districts, whethar
tho object of the investigation is mines, timber, cement,
lime, brick and tile clay, timber, coal, power, or a location
for a sanitarium pr tourists' hotel Gold Hill has thorn all.
Add to all its other advantages as to location and
resources an all-lho-year climate that can't bo bcafoii dii
the Pacific coast, unci an idea is gained of tho .fusf jej of
ho claim that Gold Hill has tho best prospects' for futuro
development of any town in tho world-famous Roguo Rivei
vtifloy of southern Oregon.
