Mr.. HENDERSON My object in writing
to you is 10 inform you that am still in
U. States service, and Of the prospects
and advantages to be gained in emgra-
ting to California. The gold mines that
have been discovered on the Sierra Ne

in the world, and it is useless for me to
attempt a description Of the quantity and
quality Of the gold already obtained, as
you would not believe it. See the news

not overrate the mineral resources of Cal
ilornia. Our company has been reduced
down to 90 from 172 by descrlio. These
men have made their fortunes, but have
violated their oaths and dshonored tn cir
