GUIDE!
Signor D'Alvcar has Just arrived at New York.
from the Gold regions of Cal fornia, by way of
Panama Chagres, and New Orleans, bringing
with him very large quantity of Gold ORE valued
at nearly million of Dollars, which he collec-
ted there, long before the existence of the Gold
| mines became known to the residents Of California
generally.
HISTORY OF THE DISCOVERY!
Signor D'Alvear went out to California nearly
two years ago, in consequence of certain nforma-
ton which he had received OF the geological char
ac'cr of that country, with the i'm beefthat vast
mines of precious metal would be revealed there
| upoi edttiul HiNcstiSu'ioNs lie WIS encouraged
to this enterprise, also by his coniidcnre in the
powers of a certain Magnetic instrument which he
had invented, called "Goldometcr," by whose aid
| he expected to I've directed at once to the "God
| Placcrs, if any such existed Nor were his ex-
pcctations disappointed. His scientific calculations
proved to be found in truth and profound wisdom
and his new instrument, the "Gollomctcr,' fulfil
| led his highest hopes In less than two months
after reaching California, he struck upon one Of
the richest gold mines in that country, upon an
obscure branch of the Sacrato river in a gorge o
hills extremely ro-key and difficult of access and
seldom visited by the native Cafornans Dis
guisny his object under the pretcnco of purely
scientific research, he obtained the aid of some if
teen twenty simple and faithful Indians, and
steadily pursued his task. cole, ting often more
than $4,000 worth of gold in a single day. which
he concealed III deep ravne, without exciting any
suspicion whatever. until after the discovery of
gold at Captain Suffers Mill when the mountains
were ransackcd by gold seekers. and Signor DIAL
wears ''gold placer the richest in all California,
was besct with greedy Adventures 1t is now
found that the real mines or sources of the gold,
lie in the gorgcs of the mountains. and not in the
beds or sands of the rivers. Previous to leaving
California Signor DAlvcar sold his instrument,
the Godomccr very imperfect cne, for $4,000.

to make handsome fortune, by simply finding

to test that fact by the surest of all known tests
before the abundance OF discoveries in all parts of
the country shall have lcssencd this source Of
wealth in their estate.
ADVENTURES TO CALIFORNIA.
| Persons going to California cannot make bet
| ter investment than by purchasing one of these
| instruments which will not only be worth fifty
times its value there. to sell again. but will be Of
inestimablc worth to those who go in search Of

TESTIMONIALS.
| Signor D'Alvear does not does not deem it ne
cessary to cucumber this notice with long list of
testimonials, in proof of the value of his GOLD
| OMETER and GOLD SEEKERS GUIDE. The
brilliant results of his llbors in California, and the
discovery. this very week, of fresh veins of Gold
in Virginia and beds of Coal in Rhode lsaud, by
it usc are alone sufficient to stamp as the greatest
discovery of the age. Nothing but the extreme
chcapncss 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 of which he offers it.
Besides this, his own desire for wealth is nearly
| satslaeiied.
The following Testimonials, in proof Of the
value of the Goldometer selected from great
number equally satisfactory, must suffice for the
suffice for the present:
Asrou HousE, n. Y, Dec. 81, 1915.
| The undersigned, having this day witnessed
the practical operation of Signor Jose DcAlvear's
newly invented magnetic instrument. the Com
oMoTEn feel entirely satisfied that it possesses the
extraordinary power of desectng Mineral ores hid
den beneath the surface of the earth, and have no
doubt that it will prove invaluable aid in the dis
covery of the Mineral resources of the United
States and the world.
