The very unsatisfactory controversy respecting the
value of Californian mines and titles, would probably
soon cease if the example of two leading companies were
followed. The Agua Fria took advantage some time
back of Mr. Wright's presence in England to obtain for
the shareholders a full explanation of their prospects,
and these were deemed very encouraging. Other com-
panies, we have reason to believe, are much better off
than has been supposed, and have their capital almost
wholly at command, pending the decision of the question
of titles. The most sensible and straightforward course,
however, that we have seen in respect to the restoration
of confidence, is that adopted by the diree'ors of the
Carson's Creek Mine. The honed determined to send
out a deputation to California for the purpose of satis-
fying themselves upon these important puintP:-
Ist. The title of the present proprietors to the mining
property, and the lands on which the same are situated.
2d. The constitution of the company—the names of
the members now constituting it—the shares in which
they are entitled—the names of its officers—and the fact
of i s having been incorporated according to the levrs of
California, consistently with the laws of the United
States—sod also the legal incidents and consequences of
such incorporation.
It is under a ".S'quatter's title " that the mines and
lands of the Cartons Creek Company are held. It is
represented that the mode of acquiring rights to land by
American citizms, in every case of annexation of a new
state to the United States, has been for parties to appro-
priate a district of land of a defined extent of territorial
Surface, and to enclose and improve it, and that upon re-
gistering a claim to the land. so appropriated, in the dis-
trict court of the county, with certain forms prescribed
by the eutirt, and also registering such claim in,the court
of the country or state, the location is surveyed, and the
right of the party appropriating it is confirmed; and that,
this ceremony performed and completed, the registered
proprietor acquires, according to the laws of the coun-
try, an indefeasible freehold title to the land. It must be
ascertained whether this is the law of California; and
also, what is the law of the United Sates on this sub-
ject, and whether all the requisites have been performed
by the proprietors of the Cersons Crock Company for
se curing the title, to the several locations as freehold.
As to the constitution of companies in general under
the Act of Congress that regulates them, it is recom-
mended that particular inquiry should be instituted.
Then as to the second grand ebjeet of the deputation, the
value of the mine, the tithe has been looked to, and the
locality and extent, and an examination is to be made es
to whether veins of gold in the quartz rock of the
mine be, as stated, visible to the naked eye; whether
there be an abundance of timber, and an unfailing sup-
ply of water power on the location of the Stanislaus
river and whether the location on Carsons Creek be of
the high value it is represented to be, as a site for the
erection of machinery for the purposes of the wise.
You will of course descend the mine. It has been re-
presented to the board, that the ore from the deepest
shaft yut sunk (a depth of 83 feet) is richer than that near
the surface; you will carefully ascertain the feet
You will report specially upon. the statement made,
that in addition to the distinct veins, the gold is variably
diffused throughout the mass of the epeertz rock.t
There is no object more immediate or more important
to claim your attention, after your arrival at the mine,
than that of verifying the asserted accumulations of ore
lying at the surface, and estimated at the large value of
200,0001. sterling. You will satisfy yourselves_
upon this
subject in-such a mode as to leave no room for doubt or
cavil.
YOU will ascertain and fully report upon the estimates
locally formed of the expenses of working the mine, art
ranging these under the:following ha ad s.—
1. Cost per ten of extracting the ore from the mine.
2. Of pulverizing or reducing it.
3. 01 extracting the metal, either by quicksilver or by
washing.
4. Ot carriage of the metal to San Francisco.
You will report the actuel condition and appearance of
the mine; the number of men and mules, or horses, em-.
played; the amount and kind of machinery in use; the
number of shafts open; and the mode in which the ac-
counts of the mine are kept.
Copies •of these instructions have been circulated.
among all the shateholders, and besides what we have
given there are other points le fleeting great credit on
the caution and judgment of the board, and their sense
of the reapousildlity that rests upon them.
The committee of bondholders have received advises:
from Mexico, dated 3d tilt. The agents at the different
ports had up to that date received, for account of Messrs.
Bating Brothers and CO., in reimbursement of their
advance for the January dividend, about 500,000 dollo.,
of which about 0.56,000 dolls. had been shipped. The
Bill for farming the Custom's revenues had as
