CALIFORNIA INTELIIGENcE.-The news
by the Crescent City possesses more than
usual interest, owing 10 the accounts OF
the alleged discovery Of immense guam
titles Of Gold on the line Of coast from
twenty five miles north of Trinidad tn
eight miles south Of the klamath river.

an unScrupulous SPECTATOR, having some
years since opened trap ful innocents
in New York city and left with o string
of judgments against him which filed
a good sized docket. He left Wall street
between two days. The Post adds:
at is very apparent that this is a mere
trick of these spectators. who are all

of San francisco, 10 give a new impulse
to immigration into that territory, So as
to maintain or To enhance the price oI
property, in which they have been specu.
lating."
The California Courier also helps Il
explain away the mystery. The compa

1000 vt which they offer to dispose of a
500 each. This will net them the snuS
amount Of 500. 900. aud it disposed o

sold. Thus the original stockholders, a

sum and receive dividends upon Ii .00t
shares, provided the thing is not a com

would receive one eleventh Of this a

black sand Than gold by considerable.
