to prove that there will be greater quantity Of
gold dug out this Summer than ever We scarcely
y know which valley, the San joaquin or the
Sacramento, has sent out the richest specimens /;

found too, far north as Oregon, and as far south
as the mountains near Los Angeles. There appears
TO be ridge of gold bearing quartz running the
whole length of the country almost north and
south. The ore has been found richer in the noun
tains Of Los Angeles than even in the mines of

require the employment Of science and machinery
The one to direct operations, The other for grind

California into the Union shall become officially
known to our State authorities.
