MARlPosA.-In letter which he wrote in
1919, Colonel Fremont gave the following ac-
count of his connection with the Marposa es-
tate =
'The 'Mariposa claim is tract Of land ten
leagues ii extent, lying upon creek of the
same name in the San joaquin valley. 1t was
purchased for me by Mr. Larkin in the begin
ming of l5l7, and during my absence with The
battalion in the South from d. Juan b. Alya-
rado, 10 whom it had been granted in consider
alton Of his public services. Mr. Larkn paid
foI it $4,000. ! had never seen the place, and
knew nothing Of its character or value. The
purchase was made before California was ceded
to the United States, and long before any gold
had been discovered. ] had always intended
TO make my home in the country if possible,
and for this purpose desired fooihold in it,
On my return to the country in the present
year | visited the place in company with Dr.
Corrie, Mr. Reid, and several other gentlemen,
and for the first time saw the land. Two-thirds
are adapted only TO farming; on the other third
gold was discovered, and we went to work to
dig it out. So soon as il was known that we
were there, thunderstorm becoming thousands
crowded TO the same place, and 10 this day
from two to three thousand persons have been
regularly employed. They have worked them
freely no one has ever offered them the slight
est impeachment, nor have ! myself ever express
ed to any one, or entertained an intention, Of
interfering with the free working of the mines
at that place. | regard the claim TO the Mari
posa in The same light as any other vested right.
