A

OF THE GREATEST RARITY. Probably the earliest issue of the press in Jackson. Griswold was a prominent pioneer and miner at Jackson, California, and related to President Martin Van Buren. He came to Oregon overland by ox-team in 1848 and from there to California in 1849. good portion of the above pamphlet is devoted to his journey and adventures, describing life in Oregon mining, trouble with Mormons, etc. Apparently no copy has ever appeared for sale before.

MASSIVE HISTORIC JEWEL CASKET MADE OF CALIFORNIA GOLD

350. JEWEL CASKET. Rectangular with moulded top and base; resting on four feet formed of four miniature female figures, allegorical of CALIFORNIA. The top pilasters and mouldings are of beautifully veined gold-bearing moss agate of delicate tones of gray, cream, pink and blue, highly polished and wrought in mosaics with gold outline. The sides are paneled with ovals of gray and cream agate bearing rich veinings of gold. The interior of the top is recessed and enriched in full relief with scenes typical of the early days of the Union and Central Pacific Railroads-mounted Indians, herds of buffalo, a train of cars, etc. Some of the figures are fashioned of lumps of pure gold, while a part of the scene is engraved on the inner lining of the cover. The box was made by A. ANDREWS, a goldsmith of SAN FRANCISCO, and is signed. Height, 7 inches; length, 9 inches.

AN EXCEEDINGLY INTERESTING AND VALUABLE HISTORIC SOUVENIR FROM THE MINES OF California, made of fine gold and carefully selected specimens of rich gold-bearing moss agate from the most famous mines of the state, and decorated in celebration of THE OPENING OF THE FIRST RAILROAD ACROSS THE CONTINENT TO THE PACIFIC COAST. The goldsmiths of San Francisco were frequently called upon to make small souvenir trinkets of various sorts from nuggets brought from the diggings, but objects of such extraordinary weight and value and displaying such difficult and intrieate workmanship, were seldom contemplated. The Casket here described was made specially, and without regard to cost, for one of the wealthiest of the Western mining men of his day, and is perhaps one of the most important examples in existence of the early goldsmiths' work of the Pacific Coast. The decoration which is intensely American in character, shows an early railroad train crossing the plains, with mounted Indians, herds of fleeing Buffalo, etc., and is reminiscent of one of the most romantic periods of the history of the West.
