Win A Historic Gold Mine!

WIN A HISTORIC GOLD MINE!

That's correct!  A first time ever opportunity to own an actual gold mine!

 
Raising funds for the Josephine County Historical Society; an Oregon, nonprofit corporation, to continue our ongoing restoration and preservation of historical records.  


So we will raffle our historic gold mine!


Winner of the grand prize award will receive a quitclaim deed to the "PYX" mine, overlooking the majestic Rogue River, and only 12 miles from the historic Zane Grey cabin!  The same cabin where the author wrote "Rogue River Feud."


Only 30 easy miles from Grants Pass, this mine was once part of the high producing Gold Bug Group.  The PYX has a profitable production history, and has two major tunnels plus offshoot branches.


There were electric lights and steel rails used in this mine before gold prices dropped years back.  She has sat waiting for a new owner to bring her to life again, and although we hate to part company, the funds are needed for our work to continue!

Only 1999 tickets will be sold.  Ticket prices are $5.00 each or six for $25.00.  Grand prize winner will have the option to choose a cash award of $550.00 in lieu of deed to the mine.  Twenty additional prizes will also be awarded.  Great odds, right?

Tickets must be sold in Oregon, although residency is not a requirement, and winners need not be present to win!  You must be 18 years of age.
