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
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 i 95 miles by water communi-
cation from San Francisco. The Sacramento is at all times naviga-
ble for steamers ; and it is stated that, during a greater portion of
the year, vessels can navigate the Feather 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, 1852, surveyed it as an officer
under 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 surernit of the highest mountain on the land, in the soil as in the
'inane rock. Some indications of iron are to be observed at the
south-west corner ofthe Table Mountain. Quicksilver has been dis-
covered edin the
at same vicinity, and I have
en been informed
the by men of
veracity th a few diamonds have also be dug from slope of
the same mountain. The whole front of the estate on Feather
River Is about 24 miles, taking its meanders, and I believe the gold-
bearing quartz rock 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 quartz
rook, rich diggings, Ste."
Further important details will be found in the accompanying
document and msp of the property; and other particulars of an in-
teresting nature respecting this extensive territory May be inspected
at the office of the Company.
Mr. Gray states in his Reports tlt specimens of the quartz veins
weren taken by him from the estate: These Mr. Larkin forwarded to
appendix,
for unaly sis, and the result of that analysis, as given in the
shows that with carefulmanagment a large return for the
capital invested may be reasonably expected from the Company's
Mining operation,.
- 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 Coinpany; nd it is intended to expend
the came 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-
couraging farmers to settle upon the property, whose rents would be
commensurate with its valne and location, and who would in no
way interfere with the extractionl of its mineral riches.

value of the gold to be extracted from the lands,
independently of
their fitness ad eligibility for cultivatioa ; and the comany have
been met with the greatest fairness by the vendors, who do not seek

to be paid for the estate, except a deposit of
per cent on one moiety
of the purchase money, until an English surveyeosr, ntzminated by the
r upon
Board of Supervision, shall have examined the
ta
it, and declared it-to be in accordance with the
prospectus.eported 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
gear 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
peopled, may probably, in a few years, realise prices sufficient to re-
store to the Shareholder, the entire purchase money. Is
An organised syttenf of granting leases of mines on the estatec
also in contemplation, which will yield large returns to this Com-
pany; pany ; and the Board of Supervision desire to call the attention of
other individuals and companies contemplating the purchase of farm-
ing lands, alluvial diggings, cr quartz mining locations, to their vast
tracts of territory. The Board will be prepared to make sales and
grant 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-fal gold
companies—at least 00 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 Callfornia.
The Board of Supervision will have the power of carrying out the
contract with the vendors. and of settling the statutes of the com-
pany, under which all its affairs will be regulated. The deposit will
be U. 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 beheld 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-
tion unless refereaces be given to Bankers or Stockbrokers.
