to warrant her in resuming the quiet of private life
offers to the public generally the opportunity of
bidding for its advantages.
The citizens of the State are so well acquainted
with the advantages of its position, that but few re
marks are necessary, to complete their information.
The Hotel, itself, possesses all the requirements
of room and comfort, which its purchasers can de
sire. It has capacity for the accommodation of one
hundred and fifty boarders, and the recent and rap
id growth of the University, adjacent, makes it an
easy matter to poses constantly uri of even a
greater number of students.
In addition to this, the frequent travel through
Chapel Mill gives the Hotel, (being the only one in
the place) a transient custom equal to tiny in the
State.
The lots and stables adjoining are extensive and
commodious and the country-market supplies abun
dantly aud on profitable terms much of I tn provi
sions. The terms of sale require one third of the price
to be paid on taking possesion. A note with safe
security and time of payment suited to the conven
ience of the purchaser, arc the reasonable demands
for the remainder.

VOLCANO QUARTZ MINING COMPANY,
VoLCAXoVlLLE. El.lXUlAPO Co.
CALIFORNIA.
1)OOKSfir subscription for $75,000 of the stock
y of this company are now open at the office of
the company, 78 Broadway, NewY'ork.
The uncommonly rich claims of this companv
hold out inducements, to those who arc disposed to
invest capital in quartz mining in California, not
surpassed, if, indeed, equaled by those of any oth
er company in that State.
The extraordinary richness of our quartz, as was
witnessed by thousands at the late F'uir of the A
lnerican Institute-, and the extent of our claims, to
gether with the peculiarly favorable location for
economical working upon a large scale, w ill ensure
the most ample aud satisfactory returns upon the
investment.
It is well understood by practical men that with
machinery working twenty tons of quartz, paying
two cents per lb., large profits will be realize I up
on each day's work. It is the intention of the com
pany to obtain machinery sufficient to work fifty
tons per day, and to work it in the most economi
cal manner, by which they feel confident of be
ing able, from their rock which will yield from
two cents to twenty dollars to the lb., to make re
turus to their shareholders which will not ouly sat
isfy, but surprise ti:m.
It will be seen, by reading the pamphlet contain
ing the charter, the laws of California, and the de
tails of our plaus of operation, that ir estimates
are based upon two cents per lb., and the expenses
of working the mill are put, at the present high
prices for labor, while it is well known to all who
reflect upon the matter. t?Tat as the cost of labcr
shall be reduced, the income will be materially en
hanced. If we work 40 tons per day, and get two cents
per lb., it will yield $10 Oil, while three, four, r
five cents per lb., would give a proportionate in
crease of receipts, the expenses of working the mill
would not be increased a dollar, and will be less
than $ 470 a day.
Subscriptions can be made by mail, enclosing ten
per cent on the amount; of the balance, twenty per
cent to be paid on the 20th of Nov. instant, and
seventy per cent on the 2'Jth day of December next,
when certificates of stock will be issued.
Pamphlets, containing the statutes of California
in relation to corporations the rules and regula
tions of our locality, the charter and by-laws of
the company, together with much other interesting
and useful matter, including a map of a portion of
the northern mining region, may be had gratis at
the office of the Company, No. 78 Broadway, or by
mail on application postage paid.
