Richelieu,

Thin Company has been enabled to secure, in the celebrated Ne-
,ll!cla District, California, the right to purchase the large property of
.?0,1. Larkin, Esq., reported upon, as after mentioned, to contain
'1,600 acres in extent, and to possess extensive gold-bearing quartz
ssveins and auriferous deposits, and gold washings, and to be well
''uonted 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
fiver, and to be at a distance of about 95 miles by water communi-
rlilon from San Francisco. The Sacramento is at all times naviga-
a for steamers ; and it is stated that, during a greater portion of
ii
o Year, vessels can navigate the Feather River up to the property.
The estate is freehold, and the vendors guarantee an indisputable
title, free from inctunbrances.
The mineral importance and value of the property will be best
Nicholas
of by the following extract from the report of the Surveyor,
Gray, Esq., who, in September, 1852, surveyed it as an officer
tinder orders from the United States Government. fter 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
oeuth-west corner of the Table Mountain. Quicksilver has been die'
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
,4ie same mountain. The whole front of the estate on Feather
,'oloer is about 24 miles, taking its meanders, and I believe the gold-
s7crins g quartz rock is to be found all along the bank of that stream,
Zoo extending back generally two or three miles. By reference to
the map you have all the principal points laid down of quartz
tOck, rich diggings, .Isc.”
s Further important details will be found in the accompanying
Lcctiment and map of the property; and other particulars of an in-
n'esting nature respecting this extensive territory ;nay be inspected
'o the office of the Company.
s_ Ir. Gray states in his Reports that specimens of the quartz veins
7ere taken by him from the estate. These Mr. Larkin forwarded to
_ondon for anal) sis, and the result of that analysis, as given in the
4.altanciii it, shows that with careful managsment a largo return for the
vested may be reasonably expected from the Company's
ruining 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; rnd it is intended to expend
the same chiefly in erecting extensive 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-
garaging farmers to settle upon the property. whose rents would be
conarnensurate with its valise 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 price one-half of
Which is included in the present capital. and the remaining half
,„5 to be paid when the capital is increased to £500,000, and when
utvidends to the amount of 20 per cent. have been paid to the
Shareholders as before mentioned. The entire price to bo
thUs Paid in moities is probably not one-hundredth part of the mere
Vain of the gold to be extracted from the lands, independently
ve
of
stheir fitness and eligibility for cultivation ; and the company ha
°ten met with the greatest fairness by the vendors, whodonmotosteeetyk
I h.
paid for the estate; except a deposit of 5 per cent on one
of the purchase money, until an English surveyor, nominated by the
aßoard of Supervision, shall have examined the estate, reported upon
and declared it to be in accordance with the prospectus. The
eke per acre on the portion of purchase•money payable out
of the
*resent capital Is less than 101.
The Company may find it desirable that a town shall be erected
;7 the junction of the Feather River with the north fork of that
cr ; and as great facilities and advantages will be offered to
1,,, duets. the particular lands to be set apart for this city, looking at threst-
e.
known rapidity with which American cities are created and
l'ett pled, may probably, in a few years, realise prices sufficient to re-
%Ore to the Shareholders the entire purchase money.
s,_krl organised system of granting leases of mines on the estate is
ZCO in contemplation, which will yield large returns to this Cor-
n r;
individuals
and the Board Of Supervision desire to call the attentioo
individuals and companies contemplating the purchase of. farm-
ir"g lands, alluvial diggings, cr quartz mining locations, to their vast
...acts of territory. The Board will be prepared to make sales and
osiStit leasei of portions of the Feather River Estate.
1. The Board of Supervision believe that they indulge in no exagge-
:tinn when expressing their conviction that the estate fairly put to
.ork to its full capabilities will, for many years, annually yield as
nidend—what may reasonably be expected from all succes•ful gold
,7tnPanies—at least 20 per cent. on the entire capital besides
nenses. The investment in the shares must, therefore, be equal to
gist offered by any other company, either in Australia or California.
The board of Supervision will have the power of carrying out the
...,'entract with the vendors. and of settling the statutes of the corn-
rcY, under which all its affairs will be regulated. The deposit will

C.,4!lng quartz. The specimens here sent are not selected specimens,

This was dug out of a hole about 1% miles from Pocenix Mill
13Awn as the Bloomingdale ledge or lead."
is stated by Mr. Larkin's agent in this country that the box was
tit unopened from San Francisco to London, and assayed by John-
and Idatthey, and that in the specimens no gold was visible to
"e naked eye. The report of Messrs. Johnson and Matthey is as

"The box of gold quartz had half of each piece taken off, and the
Toole crushed together very fine, giving grains of gold, which would
Zot pass through the sieve, equal to Soz. 10 dwt. of fine gold to the
