was encouraged 10 this enterprise, also. by his
confidence in the powers Of certain Magnetic
in>rrumen, which he had invented, called The
&" Goldometer." by whose aid he expected to be

after reaching California, he struck upon one
of ,he richest gold mines in that country, upon
an obscure branch Of the Sacramento river. in
gorge Of hills extremely rocky and difficult
of access, and seldom visited by The native CAL

tence Of purely scientific receafch, he obtained
the aid of some fifteen or twenty simple and
faithful Indians, and steadily pursued his task,
collecting often more than $4,000 worth Of
gold ia single day, which he concealed in
deep ravlne, without exciting any suspicion
whatever, until after the discovery of gold al
