A Californian Speculation
Persons wishing to speculate on their own account in California, and
possessed of energy, intelligence, good principles, and character, and
£70 or £80 in cash, may form a party for that purpose by immediately
applying to Mr. John Hodge, of Tretharrup House, St. Cleer, near Liskeard.
N.B. -- The preference would be given to miners in the vicinity of St. Blazey.

Above is from "Life in Cornwall in the Mid 19th Century," edited by R.M.
Barton.
The book consists of extracts of the period (1835-1854) from the
newspaper "The West Briton."

Kind regards,

Sandy
