These exceptional deposits are responsible for tho establishment of tho plant of the Heaver Portland Cement company at Gold Hill. A! ready the output of this concern has a market ull up and down tho Pacific coast. This plant, which employs nearly too men at Its plant at Cold HIM and quarries at Marble mountain and has a pay roll of be tween $15,000 and $20,000 a month, an bringing to tho city of (lold Hill a more substantial prosperity than that furnished by tho gold mines of former days. The production of tho local plant for tho past several years was np proximately 200,000 barrels annually. It Is estimated production with the increased capacity will roach the 400,000 parrel mark.

' It will' require about half that quantity of shale clay and silica, quarried from behind tho cement plant, and about GO cars of gypHiim, imported from Mound House, Nov In culclning during the course of manufacture the company will use some 1600 enrs of fuel oil, Imported from tho California oil Holds.
