Manuel Castanares was a Representative in the National Con- 

 gress, from the Department of California, in 1845. In his first let- 

 ter, under date of March 2, 1844, the author states that gold placers 

 were discovered in California last year, extending some thirty 

 leagues. In his second letter, under date of September 1, 1844, the 

 writer states : "The mining interest in California is of great im- 

 portance, and I have the satisfaction of assuring your Excellency 

 that it forms one of the most valuable resources of this Department. 

 Besides the silver mines which are found, there are various other 

 mines which have actually yielded metals ; the gold placer especially 

 is worthy of great attention, which extends nearly thirty leagues, 

 was discovered lately, together with mines of mineral coal."
