The Lancaster Gazette

A Rich Man.—The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune, under date of May 29, says: "Col. Fremont received official advices by the last California mail of the extent and richness of his mines, that even to him appear incredible. If he can hold the land upon which these diggings are, and in which the gold is said to be inexhaustible, and comparatively speaking, of easy access, there will be no estimating his wealth. He is daily making leases to adventurers, the percentage upon which will make his income enormous.—I learn that previous to his leaving California for Washington, he was working thirty men, and that the nett monthly proceeds which were paid over to him were equal to a hundred pounds of pure gold a month. But this would be but a trifling income, in comparison to what it must be, if the accounts of the richness and extent of the veins of gold upon his land, which he received by last mail, are corroborated by actual receipts."
