Oregon's mining exhibit at the Panama Pacific Exposition earned the grand gold medal for best collective display with six silver and four bronze medals. Despite a scarce $10,000 budget and late setup, a sub committee praised the display of quartz, coal, gold specimens, and maps. Notable items include large gold nuggets, a 8x10 foot relief map by Parks and Shedd, and high grade ores from multiple districts in Oregon.
