This Company has been enabled to secure, in the celebrated Ne..
Vada District, California, the right to purchase the large property of
Thos. 0. Larkin, Esq., reported upon, as after mentioned, to contain
acres 21.600 in extent, and to possess extensive gold-bearing quartz
„r
e.lllO and auriferous deposits, and gold washings, and to be well
adapted for agricultural purposes.
The property is described as being situated on the west bank of

estate is freehold, d the vendors guarantee an indisputable
titlean
, free from incumbrances.
The mineral importance and value of the property will be best
red of by the following extract from the report of the Surveyor,
neh°l" Gray, Esq., who, in September, 1852, surveyed it as at! office
4;_der orders from the United States Government. fter giving a
'4, !led description of each lot, he sums up his report as follows :
I, tt class the whole estate, containing 21,656 70-100 acres, as nal-
tteiral land. Gold is found from the bottom of the smallest gully to
%en summit of the highest mountain on the land, in the soil as in the
10„4;,1z reek. Some indications of iron are to be observed at the
Ze-west corner ofthe Table Mountain. Quicksilver has been dis-
;ered in the same vicinity, and I have been informed by men of
thsneity that a few diamonds have also been dug from the slope of
)p,!T Same mountain. The whole front of the estate on Feather
ler is about 24 miles, taking its meanders, and I believe the gold-
aimrlng quarts reek is to be found all along the bank of that stream,
extending back generally two or three 'miles. By reference to
te,,ltthe maou have all the principal points laid down of quartz
rich dpiggyings, &c."
• urther c
important details will be found in the accompanying
ItTnient and map of the property; and other partulars of an in-
itt Ztting nature respecting this extensive territory may be inspected
e office of the Company.
1,7-I'. Gray states in his Reports that specimens of the quartz veins
y7re taken by him from the estate. These Mr. Larkin forwarded to
"hdon for analysts, and the result of that analysis, as given in the
.',
;Lllldix, shows that with careful management a large return for the
hit•
ngal invested may bo reasonably expected from the Company's
operations.
rise
working capital of 100,0001., leaving the remainder (conduct„ money, will, it is anticipated, be amply sufficient to
th.'ne operations of the Company; end it is intended to expend
4,,l,Faine chiefly in erecting extensive central mills for grinding the
t7fereus quartz on the property, and for reducing and extracting
Ix" gold from its matrices, whether sands, earths, or quartz, in the
~."t complete, perfect, and economical manner; and also in en-
iinging farmers to settle upon the property, whose rents would be
Inensurate with its value and location, and who would in no

kjne Company may find it desirable that a town shall be erected

known rapidity with which American cities are created and
• Pled, may probably, in a few years, realise prices sufficient to re-
- to the Shareholders the entire purchase money.
au,ln organised system of granting leases of mines on the estate is
in contemplation, which will yield large returns to this Com-
; and the Board of Supervision desire to call the attention of
ether individuals and companies contemplating the purchase of farm-
t lands, alluvial diggings, cr quartz mining locations, to their vast
_• ts of territory. The Board will be prepared to make sales and
''4llt leases of
portions of the Feather River Estate.
r4;9le Board of Supervision believe that they indulge in no exagge-
N,„sinn when expressing their conviction that the estate fairly put to
to its full capabilities will, for many years, annually yield as
di~tdend may reasonably be expected from all successful gold

*THE WINNER FOR THE COMING- DERBY.
A Shortly will be published (price Is., or by post is. 2d.), "THE
HORSE for the COMING DERBY,""by the WIZARD OF THE
NORTH Last year, as early as February, the Wizard, besides
naming the first three, and selecting the exact number of starters,
also gave a horse to hedge with, which advanced from 40 to 1 to
4 to 1, and which all the sporting writers of the day (but one) took
for their winner the week before the race. In Tart matters, how-
ever, r uccess is only to be attained by " biding your time," and in
the present instance nothing will be lost by the exercise of a little
patience, though to insure early copies, orders should be given at
once. Instances without end could be adduced in proof of this.
Thus, how many men who have lost fortunes upon the turf in their
early career, have won them hack again, with more than compound
interest, by simply observing this rule ? Wait then for a brief space,
and you shall have a book worth more than a shilling, besides a
downright good thing for the Derby, that is certain to get a place,
if it &es not win.
