"It's gold!", a cry that was responsible for the development of
many desolate areas of Oregon that were later to become ghosts of
the past.
This publication should prove valuable as a field guide. These
maps have been selected from numerous sources. Some of the
information from older maps and documents has been transferred to
more recent maps of better quality. With the current price of
gold increased many ford since the gold rush days of yesteryear,
renewed interest is evident by the mining industy as well as the
weekend prospector. Research by the beginner is advisable
regarding state and federal mining laws, procedures and proper
equipment for your project. A visit to your local library will
prove valuable and may eliminate costly errors as the beginner
learns.
The majority of the information in this publication has been
taken from "Gold and Siver in Oregon" Bulletin 61, which was
published by the State of Oregon, Department of Geology and
Mineral Industries. This publication has been considered to be
the most factual information available. Many articles and books
have been written concerning the legendary "lost gold" in Oregon.
It is possible to read several different versions about the same
"lost incident" and one is easily confused while reaching a
conclusion as to where to begin looking.
