Hilco Real Estate to sell historic gold mine

NORTHBROOK- Hilco Real Estate announced it will oversee the sale of the historic Cornucopia Mine in Halfway, Oregon.

The rare property is located on the site of a former Gold Rush boom town and includes an expanse of nearly 900 acres of

surface land. Subsurface mining claims include 1,000 acres of patented claims, 170 acres of unpatented lode claims, and 1,560 acres ofunpatented placer claims.

Gold was first discovered at Cornucopia in 1884, and it was platted as a town in 1886. By the turn of the 20th century, the gold rush had ended; however, Cornucopia established itself as a small, commercial mining town and a consistent gold producer. Mining operations ceased at Cornucopia in 1941 during World War II, and have not been returned to service since.

"Throughout Cornucopia, there are miles of breathtakingviews and an array of untapped potential for mining, development, ranching, recreation, conservation, and other commercial opportunities," said David Kirshenbaum, senior vice president of Hilco Real Estate,
