Excerpt from In the United States District Court, Northern District of California: The United States, Vs. Andres Castillero; On Cross Appeal; Claim for the Mine and Land of New Almaden
I, Andres Castillero, permanent captain of cavalry, before your well known justification, appear and say: that on opening the mine which I previously denounced in this Court, I have taken out, besides silver with a ley of gold, liquid quicksilver, in the presence of several bystanders, whom I may summon on the proper occasion. And, considering it necessary for the security of my right so to do, I have to request of you, that uniting this representation to the denouncement, it may be placed on file, it not going on stamped paper because there is none. I pray you to take measures to this effect, in which I will receive favor and grace.
