no indication, however. that the min

The locality of the mine is near the
northern extremity of ireland. on the
peninsula of InniShowen. The galena
deposit was worked in 1900 for silver
and lead. but for some reason the en-
terprise was abandoned. Another at
tempt was made To work the mine in
1860. but this also was unsuccessful
for lack of capital. Some months ago
a Belfast man. who had practical ex-
pcricnce In silver and lead mining in

ty. 4 number of assays were made of
samples from the mine, which showed
an average of an ounce of gold a ton.

able quantity of silver.
A mining lease was obtained from
the Earl of ShafteSbury. the owner Of
the property, and force of men was
set to work cleaning ont the old work

a smelter of the capacity of 100 tons
a day was contracted for. The output
of lead, it is stated. Is now paying the
working expenses, though the amount
of gold obtained is very small. Geolog-
