Batchelor Hill 733 m (2405 ft) prominence: 128 m, is a hill overlooking the city of Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, immediately northwest of the city and north of the neighbourhood of Brocklehurst.
Batchelor had farmed the upper Salmon River valley in 1885, but moved to Kamloops ten years later, and became jailer until succumbing to Klondike fever.
On his return he ran several mining ventures, including the erection of a stamp mill just below these hills.
His son commented that the family fortune would have been made had Dad saved the money spent on gambling and prostitutes throughout the district.
