1855

CALIFORNIAN SHAREHOLDERS. - YESTERDAY I INVESTED 5000 FRANCS IN THE PURCHASE OF 1000 SHARES OF A CALIFORNIA GOLD MINING COMPANY.... WE HAVE THE EXPLOITATION RIGHT OF THE LEFT BANK OF THE SACRAMENTO RIVER.... I THINK THIS WILL BE A GOOD BUSINESS.... AND THE MANAGER IS JUST AS CONVINCED AS I AM. - I PREFER A COMPANY, CALLED "THE GOLDEN HOAX"... I HAVE PUT ALL MY MONEY INTO IT.

Honoré Daumier

Actionnaires Californiens. - J'ai versé hier cinq mille francs pour prix de mille actions de la société des jaunets Californiens..... nous avons l'exploitation de toute la rive gauche du Sacramento..... je crois que j'ai fait une bonne affaire..... et le gérant en est convaincu comme moi...... - Je préfère la société de la Carotte d'or, j'y ai placé tout ce que j'avais d'argent.
