baHlH of tho present development, it
in predicted that it will hooii be one
of the Ini-KPHt firms of the kind in
the entire country. Tho output of

about 200,000 barrels annually, nnd
with the proposed Improvements,
this .output will he increased to
about 400.000 barrets per year.
Gold HID, nmdo famous In the
early days for tho wealth of the
Bold which was discovered and
mined by tho miners in its vicinity
in known up and down tho coast as
tho limestone center of Oregon, as u
result of the fact that the mountains
surrounding it have been found to
contain iuoxhaustahlo deposits of
limestone, shalo, si ten, and clay, tho
principal inKredlonts of Portland ce
ment. 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. A 400.000-har-
rol production annually will require
raw material In the shape of about
1600 cam of limestone, which Is
brought by railway to tho plant from
the quarries located at Marble Moun
tain out from Grants Pass on the
company's branch line from the
Grants Pass-Croscent City railway. '
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. Kor

hie Mountain, electric power Ib sup

ment company being tho largest
users of electric power In southern
Oregon.
The finished produco of a 400,000
barrol output, In tho shape ot sack
ed cement, will bo shipped out in
box cars, ' requiring about ltiOO cars
per year' of an average capacity of
250 barrels each.

the Importance of this . Gold J 1 1 1 1

and trade. With tho shipment of
