A despatch from Ironton, Ohio,

to the Chicago Tribune, says: "By
accident, Captain John s. George,
a lawyer of this city, discovered,
yesterday, specimen of peculiar
ore, which was found in one of the
rolling mill coal-bins among coal
dug near the .honton tunnel, five
miles from this city, which, on ex-
animation, proved to be a consol-
idated lump of pure, diamonds,
weighing net. about twenty-nine

Many such Jumps have been found
here before BY the miners. but
were thrown aside as worthless.

AZ shadow comes, upon the efful-

gold discoveries Gold which par-
ties claimed to have brought from
the hills was examined by some old
miners at Sioux City the other day,
who declared that it had been dug
out Of the ground for several years,
and bore evidences of having been
