THE GOLDOMETER OR GOLD SEEKERS
GUIDE!
Signor D'Alvcar has Just arrived at New York,
from the Gold regions of California, by way of
Panama, Chaeres, and New Orleans, bringing
with him very large quantity of Gold ore, valued
at nearly one million of Dollars, which he collcc-
ted there, long before the existence of the Gold
mines became known to the residents Of California
generally.
HISTORY OF THE DISCOVERY!
Signor DAlyear went out to California nearly
two years ago. in consequence of certain nforma-
ton which he had received of the geological char
acter OF that country, with the firm belief that vast
mines OF precious metal would he 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 "Goldometcr," by whose aid
he expected to be directed at once to the "God
Placers, II any such existed Nor were his cx-
pectations disappointed. His scientific calculations
proved to be found in truth and profound WISDOM
and his new instrument, the "Goldometer," 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 Cafornans. Dis
guising his object under the pretence of purely
scientific research, he obtained the aid of some ff.
teen or twenty simple and faithful Indians, and
steadily pursued his task, collecting often more
than $4,000 worth of gold in a single day. which
nc concealed ina deep ravine, 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 adventurers. 1t is now
found that the real mines or sources of the gold,
lie In the gorges of the mountains and not in the
beds or sands of the rivers. Previous to leaving
California, Signor DAlvear sold his instrument,
the Goldometer, very imperfect one, for $4,000.
The person who purchased it confidently expected
to make a handsome fortune by simply finding
"gold placers" and selling out the right of digging

lands, should avail themselves of this opportunity
to test that fact by the surest of all known tests,
before the abundance of discoveries in all parts of
the country shall have lcssened this source of
wealth in their estate.
