OR Secret Art of finding Mines of Gold, Silver, Iron, Lead, Copper, Coal, and other Min- eral Riches. The first discovery of Gold in California was made by DON JOSE D'A'LVEAR, an eminent Spanish Geolgist, Chemist and Natural Phi losopher, by means of a newly invented Mag netic instrument, called G oleometer of Gold Scekcr's Guide! Signor D'Alvear has just arrived at New York, from the Gold regions of California, by way of Panama, Chagres, and New Orleans, bringing with him a very large quantity of Gold ore, -valued at nearly one million of Dollars, which he collected there, long before the exis tence of the Gold mines became known to the icsidentslof California generally. History of the Discovery. SignorD'Alvear weni out lo California nearly two years ago, in consequence of certain infor mation which he had received of the geological characfer of that country, with the firm belief that vast mines of precious metals would be re vealed there, upon careful investigation, tie was encouraged to this enterprise, also, by his confidence in the powers of a certain Magnetic instrument which he had invented, called the " Goldometer," by whose aid he expected to be directed ai once to the " Gold Placers," if any such existed.. Nor were his expectations dis appointed, flis scieutifiic calculations proved to be fouudad in truth and profound wisdom, and his new instrument, the " Goldometer," fulfille'd his highest hopes. In less than two months after reaching California, he struck upon one of ihe richest gold mines in that country, upon an obscure branch of the Sacramento river, in a gorge of hills extremejy rocky and difficult of access, and seldom visited by the native Cal ifornians. Dhgusing his object under the pre tence of purely scientific recearch, he obtained the aid of some fifteeu or twenty simple and faithful Indians, and steadily pursued his task, collecting often more than 83,000 worth of gold in a single day, which he concealed in a deep ravine, witnout exciting any suspicion whatever, until after the discovery of gold at Capt. Sutler's Mill, when the mountains were ransacked by gold seekers, and Signor D'Al vear's "gold placer," the richest in aH Califor nia, was beset with gready adventures. It is now found that the real mines, or sources of ihe gqld, lie in the gorges, of the mountains, and not in tlje beds or .sands of the rivers.- Pre vious to' leaving California, Signor D'Alvear sold, his instrument, the Goldometer, a very im perfect one, for $3,000. The person who pur chased it confidently expected to make a, hand some fortune, by simply finding " gold, placers" and selling out the right of digging to the gold workers. . . , Manufacture of the Goldometer, and Publication of the Guide. Signor D'Alvear, in compliance with the re quest of numerous scientific gentlemen, has commenced the manufacture of his new Mag netic Instrument, the GOLD.OMETER, which he now offers for sale, in the United States, at the remarkably low price of THREE DOL LARS each, accompanied by full instructions for use, and a variety of Philosophical hints drawn from the ancient and modern sciences, or The Art of finding pine off Gold ! Silver, Platinum, Quicksilver, Coal, Iron, Cop per, Lead, and other Mineral Riches, the whole being given in a publication called the Gold Seeker's Guide ! This new work, and ihe GOLDOMETER, are both now ready for sale. The GOLDOMETER is so simple an in strument, that a child may learn to operate with it in five minutes. It is. not affecied by cli mate, mosture, or any other known cause, (ex cept the natural magnet,) and will retain us power of pointing oui mineral riches in the earth for any number of years. By the aid of the Guide any person may use the instrument as once with perfect success. Farmers and ILand Owners. Farmers and Land Owners throughout the United States, who have reason lo suspect the existence of any kind of Mineral riches their lands, should avail themselves of this oppor tunity to test that fact, by ihe surest of all known tests, before (he abundance of discoveries in all parts of the country shall have lessened this source of wealth in iheir estate. Adventurers to Calif ornia. Persons going to California' cannot make a better investment than by purchasing one of these instruments, which" will noi only be worth fifty times its value there, to sell again, but will be of inestimable worth to those who go in search of Gold, as has been proved, by the most abundant experiment both in California and the United Slates. Testimonials. Signor D'Alvear does not deem it necessary to encumber this notice with a long list of tes timonials, in proof of the value of his GOLD OMETE.R, and GOLD SEEKER'S GUIDE. The brihant result of hislabors in California, and the discovery, this very week, of fresh viens of Gold in Virginia, and beds of Coal in Rhode Island, by its tiso, are alone sufficient to stamp it as the greatest discovery oftho ago. Nothing but the extreme cheapness of the in stiument, and his desire lo see it,used for the benefit of mankind induces him to dispose of it at the low price for which he offers it. Be sides this, his own desire for wealth is nearly saiivfied. The following Teslimonialfl, to proof of the value of the Goldometer, selected ftom a great number equally satisfactory,-must suffice for the present ; Astoji House, New York, DSc. 21, i 848. The undersigned, having hhis day witnessed: the praciiclc operation of Signor Jose De AI-. vear'a uowly invented magnetic instrument, the Goldometer, feel entirely satisfied that it pos sesses tbe extraordinary power of delecting Mineral orqs hidden'beneaih ihe suifaco of iho eanh, and have no doubt that it will provo an invaluable aid in the discovery of ih Mineral resources of the United States and the world. J. R. DRAPER, Jr. Chemist, L. S. 'HERMANN, Magnetic Ins. Maker. G. S. DANA Geologist. Los Angclos, California, August, 1848 . This may certify that the undersigned ia fully, convinced that Signor Jose De Alveor was iho first discoverer of the Gold deputies of Cali fornia, and that this discovery was made by ih aid of a Magnetic instrument called the Goi.Dr oaiETER, which J have seen successfully applied to the discovery of veins of Gold ore, in pbi.ces where no indications of that substance appeared upon ihe surface of ihe earth. ; T. W. Sherman, Lieut. 3d Artillery, U. S. Army.' io Agents. In consequence of ihe difficulty of finding faithful agents, and of preventing frauds, whtTf articles of this nature are sent out for general sale, Signor D'Alvear has determined m ell none of his works or .instruments unless or dered by letters sent directly to him, when tho desired publication, or instrument, will be for warded under his signature and seal, so that all doubt as io its genuineness may be removed. (r BEWARE OF ALL IMITATION'S of this Instrument which may hereafter appear, 'as the secret of imparling the Gold -Detecting power i known to no person whatever, except the original inventor. UjPThe Goldometer, and Gold-Seekers Guide, will both be sent, by mail, closely en veloped and sealed, and therefore, not subject tiV inspection by Postmasters, for the sum of Three Dollars, .sent post paid to Signor Jose De Alvear, Box 2713, New York City. The In strumental! very light, and the Guide is prin ted on ihm paper so that the charge by mail, or express, will be very small io any part of the United States.
