This Company has been enabled to secure, in the celebrated Ne-•
lade District, Calitornia, the rignt to purchase the large property of
Thos. 0. Larkin. Esq., reported upon, as after mentioned, to contain
21,600 acres in extent, and to 'possess extensive gold-bearing quartz
'veins 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
the Feather River, which is a tributary of the Great Sacramento
River, and to be at a dist ance of about ,95 miles by water communi-
cation from San Francisco. The Sacramento is at all times itaviga-
. hie for steamers ; and it is stated that, during a greater portion of
the year, vessels can navigate the geather River up to the property.
The 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,lBs2, surveyed it as an officer
ender orders from the United States Government. fter giving a
: detailed description of each lot, ho 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
(Marta rock. .Some indications of iron are to be observed at the
south-west corner of the 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 wiutie front of the estate on Feather
River is about 24 miles, taking its meanders, and I believe the gold-
bearing quartz rack is to 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 quarts
reek, rich diggings, &c."
Further important details will be found in the accompanying
document and map of the property; and other particulars of an ,
in-
teresting nature respecting this e xtensive territory may be inspected
, at the office of the Company.
Mr. Gray states in his Reports that specimens of the quartz veins
ytteretaken by him from the estate. These Mr. Larkin forwarded to
London.l:
veoeshanal3 sis, and the result of that analysis, as given in the
ppeixds that with careful managtmen t a large return for the
capital it
Y be reasonably expected from the Company's
mining operation's.'
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; • nd it is intended to expend
the same 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 sends,
earths, or quartz, in the
and economical manner ; and also in en-
Most complete, Perfect,
couraetng farmers to settle upon the property, whose rents would be
commensurate with its valve and location, and who would in no
Way interfere with the extraction of its Mineral riches.
The venders have agreed to sell the property at a rice one-half of
Which is Included in the present capital, and the premaining half
is to be paid when the capital is increased to £500,000, and when
dividends to the amount of 20 per cent. have b
ireeen paid to
to the
Shareholders as before mentioned. The ent price
thus paid in moities 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 cultiva-ion ; and the company
have
been met with the greatest fairness by the vendors, who do not seek
be paid for the estate, except a deposit of 5 per cent on one moiety
of the purchase money, until an English surveyor, nominated by the
,:trard of Supervision, Shall have examined the estate, reectported upon
and declared it to be in accordance with the prospus. The
Price per acre on the portion of purchase-money payable out of the
Present capital is less than 101.
The Company may find it desirable that a town shall be erected
_Rear the junction of the Feather River with the north fork of that
river ; and as great facilities and advantages will be offered to resi-
dents, the particular lands 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 Shareholder, 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 attenVon of
other individuals and companies contemplating the purchase of farm-
lag lands, alluvial diggings, cr quartz mining locations, to their vast
wacts of territory. The Board will be prepared to make sales and
trent 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 fairly put to
'Work to its full capabilities will, for many years, annually yield as
dividend—what may reasonably be expected from all succes ful gold
companies—at least e 0 per cent. on the entire capital besides
bonuses. The investment In the shares must, therefore, be equal to
that offered by any other company, either in Australia or California.
• The Board of Supervision will have the power of carrying out the
Contract with the vendors, and of settling the statutes of the corn-
Deny, under which all its affaira will be regulated. The deposit will
: be 21. per share, thus paying up the shares in lull at the time of allot
• Ment, and all deposits applicable to the purchase money received
from shares sold will be held in like manner as the shares would have
been if not sold—viz., until the surveyor's report has been received,
quiet possession given, and a good title exhibited, and a proper con-
' Veyance executed.
Applications for shares to be addressed to the Secretary, and to
the Brokers of the Company; and no application can receive atten-
tton unless references be given to Bankers or Stockbrokers.

APPENDIX.
XXTILaCT OF A LETTER FROM NICHOLAS GRAY, U.S., Surveyor to the
Hon. T. 0. LARKIN. Dated Hamil•on, June 11th, 1852.
" With.this you will receive a small box of specimens of gold-
bearing quartz. The specimens here sent are not selected specimens,
because t wished to inform you corrretly, or w ithin the truth, so as
to hear fature examination. I saw much richer specimens.
" This was dug out of a hole about I miles from Pocenix Mill
known as the Bloomingdale ledge or lead."
It is stated by Mr. Larkin's agent in this country that the box was
sent unopened from San Francisco to London, and assayed by John-
son and Matthey, and that in the specimens no gold was visible to
the naked eye. ma report of Messrs. Johnson and Matthey is as
fellows :
