100000 Acres Agricultural & Timber Lands
T YING forty miles north of Bodega, on
IL the coast is divided from sworn sur
vey by James S. Thornton, Esq.-to be de-
cided on the Goth September-the prizes,
with warrantee deeds, to be distributed by
gentlemen from Sacramento city, Stockton,
and San Francisco.
This whole tract oe Land is thoroughly in
tersected by running streams which in Octo-
Der last and in November, before the rains,
were running full and strong. The banks of
the rivers are never overfown by freshets.
The soil, throughout the whole extent of this
Rancho, is uniformly fertile, and is superior
for agricultural purposes; does not bake into
hard crust, as is the case in most parts of
the country. 1t also retains moisture through
out the dry season, as is easily proved by in
spection of the herbage, which is immense
and green all the year round.
There is game of all kinds in abundance,
elk being the most numerous running in
herds of 500 to 1000. Ducks, geese and
wild pigeons in vast numbers.
The rivers and creeks are we'll stocked
with fish. Salmon commerce running in Oc-
tober and arc taken in great numbers by the
Indians.

labor easily obtained.
