Signor D'Alvear went out to California nearly itnforma' icnl charthat vast mines df precious nietals would be revealed there updit careful investigation, tie was encouraged to this enterprise, alio, by his confidence in tne powers df a certain nlggnetic instrument which he hadin vented,called the^Odldometer/'by whose aid he expected to be directed at once to the 'fUold Placers," if any such existed: Nor were his expectations disappointed. His scientific calculations proved to be founded in truth and profound wisdom, and his new instrument, the "Goldoineter," fulfilled his highest hopes. In less than two months after reaching California, he struck upon one of the richestgold mines in that country, upon art obscure branch of the Sacramento river, in gorge of hills extremely rocky and difficult of access, and seldom visited by the native Californiartsr.. Disguising his object under the pretence of purely scientific Research, he obtained the aid of some fifteen or twenty simple and faithful Indians, and steadily pursued his task, collecting often more than $3,000 worth of gold in a single day, which he concealed in a deep ravine, "without exciting any suspicion whatever, until after the dis? covery of gold at Capt. Sutter's mill, when the mountains were ransacked by gold Tseekers, and ftiffnor D'Alvear's "gold placer," the richest in all California, was beset with greedy adventurers. It is now found that the real mines or sources of the gold, lie in the gorges of the mountains, and not in the beds or sunds of the rivers. Previous to leaving California, Signor D'Alvear sold his instrument. the Goldometer, a very imperfect one, for $3,000: The person who purchased it corijidpntly expected to make a handsome fortune by simply finding "gold placers" and selling oat the right of digging to the gold workers.
