ATHOUSAND MILES OF GOLD

Mr.. Ca,lin recently delivered lee,
ture on. The extent OF the gold region.
He described California, as one thousand
miles square. He shad, ,rayersed the
greater pa.t Of the country between the
Sierra Nevada and the Rocky noun
lains, and found i, for the gteater pant to
be most valuable for. The purposes OF
population. He proceeded thus.
He. believed this tract to be equally
rich in gold with The west Of the Sierra
Nevada, where they we're now digs ing;
nay he believe. gold would be found and
worked. with equal success east Of The
Rocky Mountains. Thirty thousahd
Morn,ons, who had been the first dig
gers in the presen, gold region, had sud-
den,ly left it for the Great Salt Lake
neighbolhood.. This meant something.
By tile last accounts it appeared that
they lad discovered gold near. the. lake,
still more abtindant than upon the banks
of the Sacramento, a, a distance o(from
four hundred to eight hundred miles up
;ha, river. He believed that the three
mountain claims of the Sierra Nevada,
lhe Rocky Mountains and the Alleglla-
nies had all been upraised by some vol.
canic or sublerranean forces, and in be.
ing upfeaved, they broke the crust OF
white, milky quartz, lying horizontally
all over the country, and which expe.
riencc had Shown 10 be the native bed
Of gold. The uPheayed mountains would
shed this quartz. and lis ores into The
vallies on both sides, anG hence the
latest accounts from The, gold region des-
crbe them as breaking the alumps of
quatz with sledge-l,ammers ard picking
on, the gold win bowie-kniles. The
Rocky Mountains mist have shed'rhis
quartz with its, gold depnsis 70 the cast
as we'll as The west: He mentioned
finding the Camanches, Tie Kioway and
other Tribes Of Indians, wearing large
Jumps OF gold as neck, ornaments, and
one,oId Kioway .chiefstold him it'wss
found seven days travel west Of his
viIlape "a fIaFea. -;G-.i,e.ts4,.,1i-
send Shis yoiing men with him TO the
place; but Mr.. .Ca'lin being attacked
with bilious fever, and meeting with
patty Of dragons Just then returned
made his way back Ito New Orleans.
The present goldregion had an area mol
less than ilrat OF Great Britain, and. he
firmly believed that in six months tract
of not less than thousand miles square
would be found TO contain, and would
be dug of mined, for gold:
