the substance CT which is, that in 1910 he
was in the city cf Mexico. While there he
heard much OF the existence of gold mines in
that country. In 1910 Mr.. Bustament was
looking over some OF dhe ancient records pre-
served within the palace, he found memorial
/ from Upper California. to the head of the Go
vernment. signed by one of the Missionaries
In that region. in which he gave a narrative

on the surface CT the earth-some of which
were equal In weight to twenty quintals, Geo.
4 coo lbs. and there were many indications OF
1 d permanent vein OF this ore. In reply to this
communication the record states that the Gov
eminent Instructed the missionary to have the
mine of silver covered up, and that its eXis-
tence should be kept profound secret, under
penalty of death. The government gave, as
a reason for this injunction, that if the exis-
/ tence of such immense mineral wealth In Ca,
lifornia should become known to the people
of the city of Mexico, such would be the ten
dency of emigration to that quarter, that the
safetyof the city might be greatly endangered
This is the. substance of the communication
The materials of the discovery of the where
abouts of this precious deposite of silver, are
very scanty, nor do the records apply any clue
to them; but as California is soon to be over
run with Adventures, in search of sudden and
easily acquired wealth, perhaps it would bt

THE GOLD REGION

/ The Chicago Journal says: We are asked
daily, why we discourage adventures from
! going to California, in search of gold ana
! why it IS that when the accou ats of the inn
mense wealth Of that region reach Us, we do
not urge upon those who can, to forthwith set
off for that FL Dorado!
" e answer, that to those who are fond of
adventure, who are doing nothing at home,
and unsettled in business, California does af-
ford field for them which is inviting. But
these who are settled in business, who have
the comforts of home about them, whose cub
! tiyated farms afford them support, to pull up
stakes, lured away by the visions Of golden
treasure, cannot too strongly be counselled
against taking such step.
The epitaph, 81 was well, wanted to be
better, took medicine, and am here" we fear
viii too truthfully apply. to many who go to
California.
It is true that it is not all gold that glitters,
and It shall not be our fault if it dazzles the
thoughtless, with no caution from our pen.
The history Of other gold regions will be
the history Of this. The Boston Courier saws
the owners Of Potosi and Real de Monte-the
two richest ard most productive silver mines
