He knew, 50, how many of those most desirable tracts of country were derived from th Mexican goverament, and how the war itself was weakening the hold upon their possessions of the natives thus terrorized., Theretore, to obtain ownership was « comparatively easy task, and he set about it, wisely ping bis own counsels, What was its cost 15 not Stated, but it is on record that in 1517, while Calitornia wis under the dominion of Mexico one Juan BB, Aivarado sold to John C. Fremont the Mariposu estate; that it con- tained 4 aeres, or about seyenty square miles; that it reached twelve nnles from east to west and twelve and a half nules trom north to south, and in_its limits embraced nine towns, the principal one then being Marviposa, near which Fremont, at « later period, fixed a resi- dence, 0 Lhs fivst attempt to take poss the territory mot with serions opposition, somewhat (o his surpr but there w seemingly good reason forit. The gr originally was of land adaptable to gra ing and dairy purposes,but the boundarie: like many others of those noted Mexican grants, hid not been fixed, thus allowing the new purchaser a license to locate his elaim on any land within reach. This Fremont's surveyors had effected for him, resulting in the” aequisition, instead of considerable mountain country that was almost worthless, valuablo ot of grazing land, covering the Pine Tree and Josephene gold mines and several others of less importance, as they in time de veloped to be. This partict portion had been for a eonsiderable period in the undisputed possession of a number of Fremont's old friends, who, when it was discovered that he was about to override and dispossess them, organized a revolt of such dimensions as to assume the phase of a civil war, In tact it grew to e u war, and Culifornia for a while was considerably stirred up with excitement The adverse claimants had worked their mines so successfully that to be thus des- poiled prompied resistance, howeyer vio- ent.
