This Company proposes to take possession ( under a conveyance in fee ) , of One Thousand Acres of Land upon the Freehold Estate of Alfred Clapp , Esq ., in the County o £ Msriposaj California , and to work , on the Cost Book System , the Gold Mines thereon . Situated in the richest part of that famous region , the BuniB' Creek tange of Gold deposits stands unrivalled in the land of , unlimited riohes . Through the centre of this estate , consisting of upwards of 2000 acres , from south-east to north-west , a ii & ge of Tiilla , the great'basis of whieh is the gold-bearing quarts rock , discloses to the observer at intervals , veins of rich . ore , cropping put at the hjll ; sides in manifest Splendour . Prom the ped and banks of the clear stream , called Burns' Creek , which ( in summer unfailing and in winter unfrozen ) ilowa through the estate . at the base of these hills , it is known by miners or that locality that nearly a million and a half sterling of fine gold has been taken in the last two years , and the Placer Gold Diggings of that stream are ascertained to be but the washings ofages from the masse 3 of gold-bearing quartz above . To blast these rocks , to sink shafts , pursue the horizontal veins , crush the rich ore by powerful steam-engines , and extract and remit the Gold , is th » great object of this Company . For such purposes the most improved machinery must be purchased , transmitted ; and fixed ; skilful miners , quarrymen , and engineers engaged ; stores furnished for their « upport , and dwellings erected for their , habitation . To command these things and success , large capital and skilful direction is required , and jn : tb © fojrmatigm of this Company , those leading objects will be attained . Situated in latitude north about 37 i , with the climate of Italy , and with the woods and natural pastures abounding in cattle , deer , and other large game , eight miles from the Gold M ^ nes and Quartz-crushing Works of the Nouveau Monde Company , and betwepn tbe Mercedo and Jtfariposa Rivers , steam-power hits placed thid splendid mining property within six wept * ' joiiraey of London , and ( excepting only ibout 25 miles not , yet railed , on the Isthmus of Panama ) railways and first-class mail-steamers convey the traveller , and treasure , with the safety , punctuality , and speed of the iron train , between London , San ixanoiuco , and Stookton , on the $ au Joaquin river , whence a good road runs through this estate , 70 miles from Stockton , to tbe County town of Mariposa , twenty mileH distant . From the JJurns" . Creek , one piece of pure gold was taken , weighing 17 jpojinds , and was Hold lor 750 / . This fact in vouched by an Ammont geologist , Dr . Charles F . Spieker , of New York , who in his . Report of a survey mode in 1850 , on the spot , writes thus : — . - "Tho most important featuro in the goology of this district , however , which givoaib suoli groat value for mining purposes , is the existence her . o iu tUediorii formation , of suoh an iwfconi . ihing rittmbor of voiris or quartz , for nowhero in the auriferous dintricfcn of California have I noen Bnch quantities of quart * vmiih accufrwlatefl within an , area of such comparatively small ortent . iftHtrlif everji one of the Mils and rldyeii above described contahtt theoataroppvrig of u qHitirrltb ' ifein wmvtimes iifvery larqe . ilimennian » .
