SINH MORE COLD DISCOVERIES.


We had conversation with a gentleman yestcr-
day, upon whose word place the utmost re-
lance. who informed us that an immense discovery
Of gold had lately been made, upon n hill in the
vicinity of tho Mokclumne river, which had never
previously been wrought. A party Of four struck
upon the very summit, some three weeks since and
BY digging down fifteen feet have thus far
over four thousand dollars. The gold, although
much coarser, IS similar in color TO that found in
the vicinity of Nevada, black and rusty The
gentlemen who have been working this claim have
have had much difficulty in washing, being obliged
10 convey their dirt great distance TO water The
continued discoveries which are being made upon
the bill tops are opening new in the mineral
wealth Of California. The idea that the gold Of
California has been exhausted, is ridiculous in the
extreme.

Is causing counterfriis to spring up all over the
country, spreading their banefUl influence over the
land, robbing the pockets Of the honest and unsus.
I~pesting, BY imposing upon them worthless and
poisonous trash, for the genuine II. G. FarreIps
ARABIAN Liniment. Fellow Citizens! Look well
before you buy, and see that ihe label Of the bottle
has the letters II. G. before Farrelps, for If it has
not, 1t is coUHTERFErT. The label around each
bottle of all my Imminent reads thus. "H. g.. Far

mature is written upon the label also, and these
words are blown in the glass bottle, "H. g. Far.
relPs Arabian Liniment, Peoria"
This truly great medicine still goes on, conquer
ing disease, and snatchinE many a poor powerless
victim from the grave. By its powerfully stimu-
llating, penetrating and Anodyns qualities, It re-.
stores the use of limbs which have been pslsiea
for years; and by its singular power ofreproducing
the Synovial Fluid or Joint Water, il cures all
diseases of the Joints with surprising rapidity.-
For Rheumatism, sDd affections Of the Spine and
Spleen, il has proved itself a SPECIFIC; and for at

most valuable and powerful auxiliary; also, for al
diseases Of the Glands, S~crofula, Goltre or Swell

Mr.. H.G. Farrelrs Arabian Linimer; has cured
some bad cases here, which every other remedy
had failed in; one was q white swelling and con-
ltracted cords in the leg Of q boy twelve years old.
THE leg had withered away, and was so contract.
ed that he had no USE Of it. Three doctors had
tried their skill upon it in vain, and he was fast
sinking TO the grave, when the boys father was
induced to try II. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment.
Before the first bottle was used up be came int
Mr.. BPS store, and the first words he said were,
|"Mr. Barker, I want all that Liniment you have
in the store; the one bottle ! got did my boy more
good than all that had ever been done before."-
That boy is now well and hearty, and has free use
Of his legs. It is good for sprains, bruises, cuts,
