TO THE QUARTZ OWNERS
In the State of California.

T AN NOW PREPARED to receive the Quartz
i or Crude Matter, concentrated Tailiugs, or
Talings and to give all practical test at my
Works in Sacramento. In soliciting owners of
Ledges to send me samples to be tested by the
Bartola Process, I wish them to distinctly un-
derstand that cannot obtain Gold from matter
which does not contain it; and in order to avoid
being encountered with worthless matter, have
decided to make uniform price of SlOO per ton
for making thorough test-paying over to the
owner of the matter tested the full amount OBJ
tanned. Contracts will be made for working a
large quantity at low rates. In all cases the
matter must be delivered at the MILL in Sacra-
mento, opposite the Gas Works, and the charge
for testing must be paid in advance. My object
in erecting such extensive Works at this central
place is to test matter perfectly satisfactory to
all parties so that they may be enabled to intro
duce my valuable patents into all paying Leads
in the State. DAVID CHAMBERS,
Agent of the Aurora Gold and Silver Co.

Proclaims him as one of a favored race,

And his treasures are piled in the savings bank

sweet child kneels in simplicity

Where the bitter cold can never come,
In city paved with gold.

In this world SO dark, so cold, so drear-

TO PURCHASERS OF
EUREKA WHISKEY.

TT HAS COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF
L the undersigned, that various parties are
putting up whiskey, in imitation packages, made
in San Francisco, and branding it "EUREKA
WHlSKET,n and selling the same at much less
than the Agents price for the genuine article.
We have also ascertained that empty packages
with our names on them are frequently refilled
with common article, and sold for the genuine.
There are houses who sell the genuine
EUR EKA WHISKY.
and whose representations can be relied on. OF
such it is safe to purchase
The fact of so many parties trying to initiate
this article, is the surest guarantee that it is the
best Whisky offered for sale on the Pacific coast.
The genuine
EUREKA WHISKEY,,
Is imported in Barrels and Half Barrels. and
ages are branded on one head, n EUREKA

THE POWER OF ELoQUENcE.-Ralph Stackpole
was one day arragned before county court in
Kentucky, on a charge of horse-stealing, and
matters went hard against him, and the proof
of his guilt in this one particular instance, be-
ing both strong and manifold, many an angry
and Implying eye fell upon the poor fellow,
when his counsel rose to attempt defense,
which he did in the following terms
"Gentlemen of the jury" said the man of the
law, "here is man, old Capt Ralph Stackpole,
indicted before you on the charge of stealing a
horse, and the affair is purity well proved on
him."
Here there was murmur heard throughout
the court, evincing much appreciation of the
counsel's frankness.
-" Gentlemen of the jury" continued the ora
tor, elevating his voice, What have to say is,
that the man thar, old Capt. Ralph Stackpole,
in the year seventeen seventy-nine, when this
old State of Kentucky, and particular those parts
adjacent to Bears Grass, and to the mouth there
of, where now stands the town of Louisville,
wur overrun with yelpin' Injun savages-did
say, gentlemen, meet two wild Injun savages in
the woods, on Bears Grass, and TUX their scalps
single handed-a feat, gentlemen of the jury,
that amt to be performed every day in Ken
tuckv.n
Here there was considerable tumult in the
court, and several persons commenced to swear.
Secondly, gentlemen of the jury" exclaimed
the attorney, with still louder voice, " what
have to say secondly, gentlemen of the jury, is
that this same identical prisoner at the bar did,
in the year seventeen eighty-two, meet another
savage in the woods-a savage armed with a
rifle, knife and tomahawk-and him-what do
you suppose, gentlemen, with gun, axe and
scalpe7 IN like manner2 No, gentlemen of the
jury, with his fists, and d'-with a voice of thun-
der" licked him to death in the natural wav
Gentlemen of the jury, pass upon the prisoner
guilty or not guilty?'
The attorney resumed his seat; his argument
was irresistible. The jurors started up in the
box, and roared out to man I" Nor GUILTY.
