vE,HE first discovery Of Gold in California was
4 made hy DON JOSE ID ALVEAR, an emil
men, Spanish Geologist Chemist aud natural Phi
losopher. IN means Of newly invented Magne-
tic instrument, called the
CO. iomater, or Coil Seekers Guide !
Sgnor D'Ayear has just arrived at New York,
fro Inc Gold regions OF California, by way Of
Pan ma, Charges, and New Orleans, bringing
Wit, MIN very large quantity Of Gold ore, valu-
ell at nearly one million Of Dollars, which he col
lecle there, long before the existence Of the Gold
mines became known to the residents OF Callior-
MIA generally.
History Of the Discovery.
Signor D'Ascar went to California nearly two
wears ago, in consequence Of certain information
which Is had received Of the geological character
OF that Country, with the firm belief that vast
mines Of precious metals would he revealed there
uD,n careful investigation. He was encouraged
Ia this enterprise, also, by his confidence 10 ihi
powers Of cegtain M;s,ne;ic instrument winch %
had invented, called the " Goldometer, by who's
aid he expected to he directed at once TO the" Cob
Placers,'' ii ny such existed. Nor were his OK
paclatcns Disappointed. His scientific caeula
tilns proved TO he founded in truth and protount
wisdom. and his lley instrument, the Guldomc
ter fsltille his highest hopes. Ia less than tive
months after reaching California. he struck upoI
ono Of TIC richest gold mines in that country, up
on an obscure branch of the Sacramento river. il
a gorge Of hills extremely rocky and difficult o
access. aad seldom visited by the native Califor
mans. Disgusting his object under the pretenc
OF purely scientific research, he obtained the al
OF some fifteen o. twenty simple and faithful II
dians. and steadily pursuing his task, colleciin
often more than $4,000 worth Of gold in sing
div, which lie concealed in a deep ravine, viii
oai exciting any suspicion whatever. Until aft,
the discovery Of gold at Capt. Suffers Mill, whe
The mountains were ransacked by gold seeker
and Signor d 4lyear's gold placer" the iiche
in all California, was beset with greedy advent
Iers. Il is now found that the real mines or sou
ces of the gold, lie in the gorges OF the mountain
and not in the beds. or sands OF the rivers. II
vious TO leaving California, Signor ID Alvear 50
his instrument the Goldometer, very imperic
one, for $4,000. The person who purchased
confidently expected 10 make handsome fortur
by simply finding gold pIacers" and selling Q
