THE GoLDOMETER OR GOLD SEEKERS
GUIDE!
Signor D'Alvear has just arrived at New York,
from the Gold regions Of Californis, 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 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 informa.

cater of that country, with the firm bciieiha vast
mines Of precious metal would be revealed there
upon careful investigation He was encouraged
to this enterprise. also by his confidence in the
powers Of certain Magnetic instrument which he
had invented, called "Goldomc,er," by whose aid
he expected to be directed at once TO the "Gold
Placers," if any such existed. Nor were his ex-
pectatons disappointed. His scientific calculations
proved to be found in truth and profound wisdom,
and his new instrument. the "Goldome,er,' 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 gorge Of
hills extremely rockey and difficult of access, and
seldom visited by the native Californians. Dis
gusing his object under the pretence of purely
scientific research, he obtained the aid of some fif-
teen or twenty simple and faithful Indians and
steadily pursued his task, collecting often more
han $4,000 worth of gold in single day, which
