OR GOLD SEEKERS GUIDE!
Slgnor D Al'ear has just arrived at New York.
from the Gold regions Of California by way of Pa
| mama, Chagres, and New Orleans bringing with
MN a very large quantity of Gold ore valued at
nearly one million Of Dollars, which ne collected
there. long before the existence of the Gold mines
became known to the residents of California gene
rally.
HISTORY OF THE DISCOVERY
! Slgnor D'Alvear went out to California nearly
two years ago, In consequence of certain inforna-
ton which he had received of the geological char
acter OF that country, with the firm belief that vast
/ mines OF precious metals would be revealed there
upon careful Investigation. He was encouraged
TO tins enterprise, also, by his confidence in the
powers of a certain Magnetic instrument which
he had invented, called the "Goldometer" by whose
AID he expected TO be directed at once to the "God
Placers," if any such existed Nor were his ex-
pectatons disappointed. His scientific calculations
proved TO be founded in truth and profound wis
| dom, and his new instrument, the "Goldometern
fulfilled his highest hopes In less than two months
alter reaching California, he struck upon one of
| the richest gold mines in that country, upon an
obscure branch of the Sacramento river in a gorge
| of hills extremely rocky and difficult of access,
and seldom visited by the native CalifoTnians-
Disgusting his object under the pretence of purely
scientific research, he obtained the aid of some IF
teen or twenty simple and faithful Indians, and
steadily pursued his task collecting often more
than $4,000 worth of gold in a single day. which
he concealed In a deep ravine, without exciting
any suspicion whatever, until after the discovery
OF gold at Capt. Suffers Mill when the mountains
were ransacked by gold seekers, and Signor DIAL
wear gold placer the richest in all California
was beset with syready adventures. 1t is now
found that the real mines sources of the gold lie
Iii the gorges OF the mountains and In the beds
or sands of the rivers. Previous to leaving Cali
tornia Signor D'Alvear sold his instrument the
Goldometer, very imperfect one for $4,000 The
person who purchased II confidently expected to
make handsome fortune, by simply finding "gold
pacers and selling out the right OF digging to the
gold workers.
Manufacture Of The Goldon,eter, and Publication
Of The Guide.
Slgnor ID Alyear, IN compliance with the request
of numerous scientific gentlemen, has commenced
the manufacture of his new Magnetic Instrument
the GoldOmeter, which he now offers for sale, III
the United States, at the remarkably low price of
r2-REE DOLLARS each accompanied by full instru,-
tions for use, and variety of Philosophical hints
drawn from the ancient and modern sciences, on
the art of finding mines of Gold, Silver Platinum
Quicksilver, Coal, Iron, Copper, Lead, and other
Mineral Riches the whole being given in publ |
cation called the
GOLD SEEKERS GUIDE!
This new work, and the Goldometer, are both |
now ready for sale.
The Goldometer is simple instrument /

magnet) and VIII retain its power of pointing out
mineral riches i'll the earth for any number CT years
By the aid of the Guide any person may use the /
instrument at once with perfect success.
FARMERS AND LAND OWNERS
Farmers and Land Owners throughout the T. |
States, who have reason to suspect the existence
of any kind Of mineral riches upon their lands |
cbo
that fact by the of all known tests before
the abundance of discoveries in all parts of the
country shall have lessened this source OF wealth
in their estate.
ADVENTURES TO CALIFORNIA.
Persons going to California cannot make a bet
ter investment than by purchasing one of these
Instruments which will not only be worth fifty
times It's value there to sell again, but viii be of
inestimabe worth to those who 90 in search of
Gold, as has been proved by the most abundant
experiment both IN California ard the U. States.
T.ESTE.T o-sy.gES.
Sgnor DAlvear does not deem 1t necessary to |
cucumber this notice with a long list of testimo-
mails, in proof Of the value of his Goldometer and
Gold Seekers Guide. The brilliant results of his
labors in California, and the discovery this very
week, of fresh veins of Gold in Virginia and beds |
of Coal in Rhode Island by its use are alone suff-
cient to stamp i the greatest discovery of the !
age. Nothing but the extreme cheapness of the |
instrument and his desire TO see it used for the !
benefit of mankind induces him to dispose of it at |
the low price for which he ofersi it Besides this,
his own desire for wealth Is nearly satisfied
The following Testimonials, in proof of the va
lue of the Goldometer selected from great num- |
Der equally satisfactory, suffice for the pres

The undersigned, having this day witnessed the
practical operation of Signor Jose De Alvears |
newly invented magnetic instrument, the GoIdom- !
eter, feel entirely satisfied that it possesses the
extraordinary power of detecting Mineral ores |
hidden beneath the surface of the earth, and have
no doubt it will prove an invaluable aid IN the |
discovery of the Mineral resources Of the United
States and the world.

This may certify that the undersigned is fully
convinced that Sgnor Jose De Alvear was the first
dlscoverer of the Gold deposites of California and
that this discovery was made by the aid of a mag
netic instrument called the Goldometer which l
have seen successfully applied 70 the discovery of
veins of Gold ore IN places where no indications
of that substance appeared upon the surface OF the
earth l. W. SHERMAN,

30 Agents.
In consequence of the difficulty Of finding faith
full agents and of preventing frauds where articles
of this nature are sent ont for general sale Sgnor
D Alvear has determined to sell none OF his works
or instruments unless ordered by letters sent d
rectly to him when the desired Publication, or IN
strument, Will be forwarded under his signature
and seal so that all doubt as TO its genuineness
may be removed.
