TIPPERARY.
A correspondent, writing from Ne
nagh, under date OF March Goth, says:
"In the course OF some farming opera
tons carried out at O'Gonnelloe, near
Killaloe, during the past couple OF days
large quantities of stone impregnated
with gold and silver were found by the
workmen. Specimens of the ore, which
are said to be rich and plentiful, have
been sent to several of the inhabitants
of Killaloe and the surrounding dis
tricts, and what is generally believed tc
be a very valuable discovery has already
given rise to feeling OF great excite
me1,t in the locality. 1t had been a
popular and ancient belief thar the soil
of the neighborhood was richly COM
posed OF big veins of gold and silver
and now that the tradition is receiving
practical confirmation steps are being
taken to form company to operate
upon the lands. Some English spccula,
tors have already signifcd their inten-
ton OF visiting the place and entering
into negotiations with the owners of the
land in order to secure right to work
the mines. What strengthens the belief
that the discovery will prove valuable
is the fact that O'Gonnoloe is within
easy reach of the renowned silver mines
on the Tipperary property OF Lord Du.
dlally" 1t is to be feared that the so.
called gold referred to in this discov.
cry will prove to be only iron pyritcs-
substance that has frequently beer
mistaken for gold by the uninitiated
and which is found in many places il,
Ireland.
