hos 0. Larkin. Esq., reported upon, as after mentioned, to contain
a_6oo acres in extent, and to possess extensive gold-bearing quartz
v
r'uz and auriferous deposits, and, gold washings, and to be well
"It Pted for agricultural purposes.
ii,4,12 property is described as being situated on the west bank of
Fe then River, which is a tributary of the Great Sacramento
Aver, and. to be at a distance of about i 95 miles by water communi-

ijhe mineral importance and value of the property will be best
iced of by the following extract from the report of the Surveyor,
'tholas Gray, gag., who, in September, I 852, surveyed it as an officer
rder orders from the United States Government. fter giving a
.etailed description of each lot, he sums up his report as follows :
b " I class the whole estate. containing 21,656 70-100 acres, as mi-
%end land. Gold is found from the bottom of the smallest gully to
e summit of the highest mountain op the land, in the soil as in the
bath-west
rock. Some indications of iron are to be observed at the
-"gth-west corner of the Table Mountain. Quicksilver has been die-
, '°Yered 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
thel„ same mountain. The whole livid of the estate on Feather
irey itt about 24 miles. taking its meanders, and I believe the gold-
e„,,4llng.quartz rock is to be found all along the bank of that stream,
147 extending hack generally two or three miles. By reference to
the map you have all the principal points laid down of quartz
„le, rich diggings, &c."
.brthef important details will be found in the accompanying
Ment and map of the property; and other particulars of an in-
k', ting nature respectig this extensive territory may be inspected

wilfr. Gray states in his Reports that specimens of the quartz veins
f _ere taken by him from the estate. These Mr. Larkio forwarded to
L'lbelldon for anal3sis, and the result of that analysis, as given in the
e7pitidlit.wsetzs that with careful manag2ment a large return for the
be reasonably expected from the Company's
Inning operations.
The working rapifal or 100,00 )1., leaving the remamder for pur-
these money, will, it is anticipated, be amply sufficient to conduct
WI the operations o: the Company; nd it is intended to expend
the same chiefly in erecting ex•cnsive eentra. mitts for grinding the
~11411,triferous quartz on the property. and f..r reducing and extracting

JUVENILE. ATTIRE for EASTER.—At
Easter Juveniles expect New Attire ; the best quality, the
aevirest fashions, and the most economical charges, are subjects of
consideration. The Juveniles have their opinion, but their parents
must have theirs Yet there are not two opinions respecting the
Establishment where v.aster dre s should be purchased. E. MOSES
al SON have always offered the earliest and most approved
fas ions for such occasions, and this year by their usual business
' activity they have again secured the first selection of new materials
from every celebrated manufactory. British and Foreign, and the
design and workmanshin, displayed in hundrals of novel styles for
Jut!enile Attire and Clotting for Children. even surpass the produc-
tions of all previous seasons. Distinguished artists 'being employed
on this description of dress, secures novelty, grace, and comfort in
the, Juvenile Attire made by E. MOSES and Sox, and, though great
entees have taken place on materia s and workmanship. the
quality is much superior, and the charges considerably lower than
at any other house.
Special attention is invited t t a resplendent display of richly em-
bredered Vests, .n new materials, suited to the seasons.
Paletots, Wrappers, Overcoats, &c., exhibiting novelties lately in-
troduced by E. Moms and Sox.
A splendid display of Hats and Caps for Easter, suitable for
Juveniles and Adults, combining all recent improvements in style and
finish, cheaper than they can be had elsewhere.
Hosiery for Ladies, Gentlemen, and Children at the most econo-
mical prices. Boots and Shoes the best and cheapest.
Emigration to Australia's the high road to wealth for small capi-
talists and every description of la'aourers. Clothing procured at the
gigantic wholesale department of E. MOSER and SON's establish-
ment is the most profitable investment which can be made. Compe-
tition in this does not exist in Australia. E. Moms & Sox's manu-
facture there meets with ,an instantaneous and lucrative sale. All
Emigrants preparing for the nolo-I;es as "Diggers," Mechanics, or
Farmers, are outfitted by E. MOSES & SON with the greatest dispatch,
and, at wholesale prices. The goods are all o:gurranteed suitability,
and are riepared ibr, clasies or Emigrants. Ladle*, Gentlemen,
and Children,—a separate department is kept for outfitting, and full
lists of outfits for Ladies and Gentlemen, with ship calling informa-
tion may be had on application, or post free to any part of the king-
don}.
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like
falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's
the game concern," has been resot led to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons. they beg to state that they have -
