"HAGGARD and PIXLEY.
"London, Sept. 13,1852."
By these certificates it is seen that from 45 ounces of the quartz
rock, when melted, crushed, and washed, one ounce and nine-penny-
weights of gold,value Si. Is. 3d. sterling, was obtained, and this under
the immediate sanction of Mr. Hainan), and personal inspection of
Mr. rixley and Mr. Wood, at the smelting works in Wood-street,
employed by the Bank of England.. At this rate of yield, one ton of
the quartz rock would produce gold value 3,4001. and upwards • but
assuming that, instead of this malt (viz , 11. bs. Ved. per lb.) an
average of only Is. per pound troy was produced, as thirty tons per
day can be readily separated, crushed, and washed at these mines,
and the yield of gold would be, at that rate, 1361. per ton, which,
multiplied by thirty, gives 4,0801 as the result of each day's work-
ing, being 24,4801. per week of Six days, above 100,0001. per calendar
month would be the gross produce.
Estimating, therefore, the average yield of gold from these hills,
rocks, and places as only 6d. to the p,,und weight of quartz, an in-
come of six hundred thousand pour ds per annum will be afforded—
enough, alter allowing amply for all expenses, to repay the capital
I five times in one year's actual wording.
A late authentic paper (republished in the "Times" of Sept. 14) from
Hussey and Co.'s Circular, of San Francisco, July 30, 1852, shows
the gross produce of Californian gold, from the official reports, to be
in the first six months, 1852, to this let July, 33,849,774 dollars, or
about seven millions sterling," and this when the development of
the rock gold is but commencing.
It is not the desire of the Din•ctors upon such data to excite
exalted hopes of delusive profits, but they feel the highest confidence
that this undertaking, vigorously and honestly conducted, must
quickly produce enormous returns to the shareholders in the Albion
Gold Mines. The Directors have entered into a contract with the
proprietors of the Burns' Rancho Estate, which entitles the Company
to enter immediately upon posse ssion of one thousand acres, free of
royalty or reservation, on which four opening have already been
made in the gold-bearing veins, and splendid specimens extracted.
The terms of this purchase are most liberal en the part of the pro-
prietor, who, excepting a very small proportion, takes tie whole
consideration of a third interest (chiefly in shares), to be delivered at
periods subsequent to possession and working by the Company. No
director or ste,scriber to this Company will be liable beyond the
amount of his shares subscribed for.
The title to this property is tired isputed, and possession held conti-
nually by the resident agents of the proprietor occupying the estate
from February, 1851, to the present time. (ace Report.)
Specimens of the quartz rock may be seen at the offices of the Com-
pany, as taken from the vein by the proprietor, which is in-
exhaustible; and it is a remarkable characteristic of the vast wealth
of this estate, that the gold-heating veins, though but three feet wide
near the surface, run through the 'whole property, and in depth are
richer in descending and without any known termination.

I have been a resident of California from eighteen months to two
years, and am well acquainted with Californi • at.d with all parts of
it, with the mining districts and all other districts, probably as much
acquainted as any other man whose official ditties did n,t require
huh to travel through the country more extensively than myself. I
have been in the southern mines ; I know that the richest among the
quartz veins are in the southern mines. I know iturns' Rattche by
reputation, and have been upon it, and it is generally acknowledged
to be exceedingly rich. I have sesen specimens taken from it which
are exceedingly rich. It is situate about 70 miles south-east of
