SAN FRANCISCO. July lst. 1872

more opportunities OF becoming acquaint-
ed with this city and its people. have
also been fortunate in meeting a num-
Der of gentleman who have had con-
siderable experience in mines and min
ing enterprises and who now control cap
ital which is seeking similar investment.
From ali ! can learn the mining ground
and water-right. in Nevada, ri Dora
do and other central counties are at this
time all occupied and held by capitalists
who will not dispose Of them except ut
very high figures. The instability of
quartz mining stocks, aiticularly during
the past few months, has been such that
men who desire permanent investment
will not touch them, and gravel mines
and water-rights are in demand. In
view Of these facts, have lost no oppor-
tunity OF advancing the claims OF Trinity
county and setting io,th the superior in
ducements which her numerous streams
and extensive gravel beds offer To those
who have the money with which to de-

men understand the nature Of county
without maps OF the same, and moueyed
men here cannot see what security they
will have in purchasing mines in Trinity
where they are held by nothing save
posscs,ory title. That there i, plenty Of
capita here which is ready, willing and
even anxious for Investment in gravel
mining ,ections--Ot which / claim Iiiui-
ty county stands at the head--there can
be no doubt, but it i, equally true that
capital viii not waste itself where titles
are insecure. Men from other sections
oi the State come to this city with maps

or whatever ii may be they wl-h 10 dis

Trinity county, with her vast extent OF
mineral wea tn, lays back and glowl> be
cause capital doe, not knock at her door
and beg to be admitted. Ny advice to
the ppuple OF our county, based upon ,ug
gr~touS OF men Of experience no mining
enterprises, Is simply this Hasten the
survey OF the county to the utmost have
it completed and mapped out at the
earliest possible moment; secure G1veFu-
ment titles to your mineral and agi icul-
tuiai and. and than you will be in con
dtian to make a proper showing To capt
tt i-ts. When this i. lone there viii be
no trouble about inducing capital to de-
ve,ope the county, and in less than ten
year, Trinity Will be just what il, natural
resource, demand it should be-the best
mining section on the Pacific coast.
