GULL TRAP.-We publish an article on the
outside Of to-day's paper, in relation to an inn
mense amount Of treasure. supposed to be buri-
ed on the cocos island. A company was formed
IN San Francisco, and vessel purchased and
dispatched. some months since in search of the
buried 100000. The original capital of this
company was $4,000, but recently it has BEEN
increased to $4,000! and the shares placed al
SO each. The State Journal says there are
great number Of shares now on sale ia that mar
ket and That they are disposed Of readily. It is
most astonishing that men are such ennsummate
fools, apes, asses, as 10 be swinded out Of their
money by such a rascally, naked, dead open
and shut swindle. But it only serves to prove
that the world, in its fondness for the wonder
ful, viii swallow lie with the greediness of a.
gutton.

extraordinary size. Some of it was over five
feet in length, several of the stocks being as
thick as a mains fore finger. Ii was grown

with occasional watering. With early planting.
it is thought, it would come to full perfection
without irrigation. Mr.. V. states that the spec
linens sent us grew in thickly planted drills.

smaller, but still capable Of an immense yield.

Coin IN THE CoAsr RANGE. A
correspondent of the Mariposa CAroni-
Gle says that he has had ocular proof oi
the existence of gold in the coast range
of mountains. Two Mexicans brouch,
to him some specimens of species oi
quartz which they thought contained
silver. The writer says: The test they
applied was simply pulverising and
washing in common wash pan: and a.
mong other metallic substances which re-
mained in the pan were several small
particles Of pure gold very pcrceptible
to the naked eye, yielding very fair
prospect; thus proving, beyond all doubt
that there is gold in the Coast Range;
but whether this is to be found in any
other shape than in the quartz, or ever
in that in sufficient quantities to justify
the expense ofseparating it, yet remains
to be ascertained.
