GOLD IS FOUND
IN OLD IRELANL
DUBLIN, June ID.—Gold mining i:
Ireland Ik a possibility of the nea
future hinted at in a report of
committee organized here to make i
survey of Ireland's mineral wealth
It is believed that ancient deposits o
gold, which were worked in tin
eighteenth century along the Hallin
rally stream, might be found coramer
cial profitable under modern minim
methods.
According to the puullsned state
ment, the first discovery of gold alont
the ftallinvally was made in 1796
when a nugget weighing an ounce was
picked tip News of the discovery
spread like wildfire through the hills
and glens of Wicklow, and the for
tune of every inhabitant of the sur
rounding country seemed achieved.
The search continued for two‘months,
and at the end of that time 2,6f>6
ounces of pure gold had been found.
The government then took control,
but operations continued for several
years, yielding an average of $10,000
a year over a long period.
The gold found ranged from tiny
atoms to nuggets weighing over a
pound. One nugget weighed 22 ounces
and men-uned lour inches In length
by two in breadth. A gilded plaster
cast uf this nugget, which was re
tallied bv the finder, lias recently
been pla- rd on exhibition at Trinity
College, oublin
\s late as isr.fi, a nugget weighing
six ounces was picked up in the Ital
limall;, . ml it ts believed that with
the lal modern methods, a sub
stantial i "fit could be made from!

Somewhere in the U. S. A. J
OSAKA, Japan. June L' (by mail).—
Belief that Japan has a right to guide
the entente allies in the far Hast ac
cording to her own judgment was ex
pressed ut a recent mass meeting of
the Kensetkai political party by Co
taro Mochizuki, a prominent member
of the Japanese diet. Mr. Mochizuki
was a member of the mission com
posed of Japanese statesmen which
recently visited the United States.
"If the United States refuses to
agree to the dispatch of Japanese
troops to iiussia unconditionally It
must be said to be due to her lack of
the proper estimation of the capabili
ties of Oermany'a mischief-making,"
added the speaker.

Germany succeeded In breaking
through the allies' line it would not
mean a fatal blow to the British, as
they command the supremacy of the
sea, and the same may be said of the
United States."
The speaker predicted that it would
yet be'a long time before the allies
would win the war.
