This Company has been enabled to secure, in the celebrated Ne«,
vada Diotrict, CaMontle, the right to ptirchase the large property of
Thos. 0. Larkin. Esq., reported upon, as after mentioned, to contain
21,600 acres in ex' ent, and to possess extensive gold•bearing quartz
veins anti auriferous deposits, an-I gold washings, and to be well
adapted for agricultural purposes.
The property is described as being situated on the ;vest bank of
the Feather River, which is a tributary of the Great Sacramento
River, and to be at a distance of about 95 miles by water communi-
cation from San Francisco. The Sacramento is at all times naviga-
ble for steamers ; and it is stated that, during a greater portion of
the year, vessels can navigate the Feather River up to the property.
Th 3 estate is freehold, and the vendors guarantee an indisputable
title, free from incumbrances.
The mineral importance and value of the property will be best
judged of by the following extract from the report of the Surveyor,
Nicholas Gray, Esq , who, in September, 1852, surveyed it as an officer
under orders from the United States Government. After giving a
detailed description of each lot, he sums up his report as follows :
" I class the whole estate. containing 21,656 70-100 acres, as mi-
neral land. Gold is found from the bottom of the smallest gully to
the summit of the highest mountain on the land, in the soil as in the
quartz rock. Some indications of iron are to be observed at the
south-west corner ofthe Table Mountain. Quicksilver has been dis-
covered in the same vicinity, and I. have been informed by men of
veracity that a few diamonds have also been dug from the slope of
the same mountain. The whole front of the estate on Feather
River is about 24 mil, taking its meanders, and I believe the gold-
hearing quartz reek sit o be found all along the bank of that stream,
and extending back generally two or three miles. By reference to
to the map you have all the principal points laid down of quartz
rock, rich diggings, &c."
Further important details will be found in the accompanying
documen naturep of the property; and other particulars of an in-
teresting respectieg this extensive territory may be inspected
at the office of the Company.
Mr. Gray states in his Reports that specimens of the quartz veins
were taken by him from the estate. These Mr. Larkin forwarded to
London for analysis, and the result of that analysis, as given in -the
appendix, shows that with careful management a large return for the
capital invested may be reasonably expected from the Company's
mining operations.
The working capital of 100,0001., leaving the remainder for pur-
chase money, will, it is anticipated, be amply sufficient to conduct
all the operations of the Company end it is intended to expend
the came chiefly in erecting ex' ensive central mills for grinding the
auriferous quartz on the property, and for reducing and extracting
the gold from its matrices, whether sands, earths, or quartz, in the
most complete. perfect, and economical manner; and also in en-
couraging farmers to settle upon the property. whose rents would be
commensurate with, its amine and location, and who would in no
way interfere with the extraction of its mineral riches.
The vendors have agreed to sell the property at a price one-half of
which is included in the present capital, and - the remaining half
is to be paid when the capital is increased to £500,000, and when
dividends to the amount of 20 per cent. have been paid to the
Shareholders as beforg mentioned. The entire price to be
thus paid in mollies is probably not one-hundredth part of the mere
value of the gold to be extracted from the lands, independently of
their fitness and eligibility for oultivaloe ; and the company have
been met with the greatest fairnesi by the vendors, who do not seek
to be paid for the estate, except a deposit of 5 per cent on one moiety

The Company may find it desirable that a town shall be erected
sear the junction of the Feather Ricer with the north fork of that
river; and as great facilities and advantages will be offered to resi-
dents, the particular land: to be set apart for this city, looking at the
well known rapidity with which American cities are created and
peopled, may probably, in a few years, realise prices sufficient to re-
store to the Sharehelderi the entire purchase money.
An organised system of granting leases of mines on the estate is
also in contemplation, which will yield large returns to this Com-
pany,: and the Board of Supervision desire to call the attent'on of
other individuals and companies contemplating the purchase of farm-
ing lands, Alluvial diggings, cr quartz mining locations, to their vast
tracts of territory. The Boars will be prepared to make sales and
grant leases of portions of the Feather River Estate.
The Board of :supervision believe that they indulge in no exagge-
ration when expressing their conviction that the estate falily put to
