vl7HE first discovery of Colo in California was
made ty DON JOSE D'ALVEAR, an emil
nent Spanish Gcologist, Chemist and Natural
Philosopher, by means of newly invented Magne-
tic instroment, called
THE GOLDOMETER OR GOLD SEEKERS
GUIDE!
Sgnor DAlvear has Just arrived at New York,
from the Gold regions of California, by way Of
Panama, Chagrcs, and New Orleans bringing
with him very large quantity of Gold ore, valued
at nearly one million Of Dollars, which he cocc-
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 informa-
ton which he had received of the geological char
acter OF that country, with the firm beliefthat vast
mines Of pretioGs metal would be revealed there
upon careful investigation. He was encouraged
TO this enterprise, also by his confidence III the
powers Of a certain Magnetic instrument which he
had invented, called "Goldometer," by whose aid
he expected to be directed at once TO the "Go!d
Plcers," if any such existed. Nor were his eX-
pcctatons disappointed. His scientific calculations
proved to be found in truth and profound wisdom,
and his new instrument the "Goldomcter," fulfil
| led his highest hopes. In less than two months
after reaching California, he struck upon one of
the richest gold mines in ihat country, upon an
obscure branch of the Sacrato river, in gorge OF
hills extremely rockcy and difficult OF access, and
seldom visited by the native Caliiornians. Dis
gusing his object under the protencs of purely
scientific research, he obtained the aid of some Ill
| teen or twenty simple and faithful Indians, and
steadily pursued his task. collecting often more
than $4,000 worth of gold in single day, which
he concealed ina deep ravne, without exciting any
suspicion whatever, until after the discovery OF
! gold at Captain Sutors Mill, when the mountains
were ransackcd by gold seekers, and Signor DIAL
! wears 'gold placer" the richest in all California
was beset 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 sands of the rivers. Previous to leaving
California, Signor D'Alvear sold his instrument
the Godometer. very imperfect one, for $4,000
The person who purchased i, confidently expected
TO make a handsome fortune, by simply finding
"gold placers" and selling out Tie right Of digging
to the gold workers,
