![]() We have also been looking at the mining history of the Rogue River in the area around Gold Hill and Grants Pass. We were looking for a place which is not too distant from our main headquarters in Happy Camp. Gold Hill (one of several places where the Rogue crosses Interstate 5) is only around 9 miles to the north of Medford (Oregon). One nice thing about the Rogue is that the section of river we chose is not any further away than Happy Camp for members traveling north on Interstate 5. Therefore, as soon as it became possible that we might lose dredging in California for a while, we immediately started looking for suction dredging opportunities outside of California. Some of our members prefer suction dredging over other types of mining. The New 49’ers has a responsibility to provide mining opportunities for our members. ![]()
