v,i2!• 0. Larkin. Esq., reported upon, as after mentioned, to contain
;1,3:100 acres in extent, and to possess extensive gold-bearing quartz

'glinted for agricultural purposes.
iae property is described as being situated on the west bank of

Cluon from San Francisco. The Sacramento is at all times naviga-

I, "I class the whole estate, containing 21,656 70-100 acres, as mi-
tral land. Gold is found from the bottom of the smallest gully to
summit of the highest mountain on the lard, in the soil as in the
quartz reek. Some indications of iron are to be observed at the
Booth-west corner of the Table Mountain. Quicksilver has been dis-
'uvered 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
e same mountain. The . whole front of the estate on Feather

value of the gold to be extracted from the lands, independently of
