DISCOVERED BY
SignOr D'AlVear'S GOIdOmeter!
THE
Gold Seekers Guide!


Secret Art Of finding Mines of Gold, Silver,
Iron, Lead, Copper, Coal, and
other Mineral riches.
The first discovery Of Gold in california was
made by DON JOSE D'ALVEAR, an eminen.
Spanish Geologist, Chemist and Natural Phil.
osophef, by means Of newly invented Mag
netIc instrument, called
THE G0LDO.NETER OR GOLD
SEEKERS GUIDE!
Slgnor D'Alvear has just arrived at New
York from the Colo regions of California, by
way OF Panama, Chagres, and New ORLEANS,
bringing with him very largequantily OF Gold
ore, valued at nearly one million vi Dollars,
which he collected there, long before the cx-
istence Of the Gold mines became known to
the residents Of California generally.
History Of the Discovery.
Signor D'Alvear went Out to California near
ly two years ago, in consequence of certain in-
formation which he had recei. ed Of the geelo-
gical character Of that country, with he firm
belief that vas, mines Of precious metals wou d
be revealed there, upon careful investigation.
he was encouraged 10 the enterprise, also. BY
els confidence in the powers nf a certain Mag
netlc instrument which he had invented, call.
ed the "Goldometer," by whose aid he expec-
ted to be directed at once to the Sold Pla.
GERS" il any such existed Nor was his ex &C.
talions disappointed. His scientific calcuIa>
ti"ns proved to be founded in truth I'D pro-
fouad wisdom, and his new instrument, the
"Goldometer," fulfilled his highest hopes. In
less than Two months after reaching California,
ne struck upon one Of the 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 visit.
ed by the native CalifornianS. Disgusting hi
object under the pretence OF purely scientific
research, he obtained the aid of some fifteen or
twenty simple andfathful indians, and steadily
pursued his task, collecting often more than
$4,000 worth of gold in single day, wfTch he
concealed in deep ravine, without exciting
any suspicion whatever, until after the discov
cry OF gold al Capt. suffers Mill. when the
mountains were ransacked by gold seekers, and
Signor D'Alvea,'s g.ld placer, the richest in
ers. IL is now found that the real mines or
sources Of the gold, lie in the gorges of the
mountains. and not IN the beds or sands of the
rivers Previous TO leaving California, Signor
DAlvear sold his instrument, very mper.
feet one. for $4,000. The person who pur.
chased it confidently expected to make hand
some fortune by simply finding gold plazers
and selling out the right of digging to the gold
diggers.
