GOLD MINING IN
IRELAND POSSIBILITY.
IN THE NEAR FUTURE

Dublin, May J.-(By Mail)-Gold
mining in Ireland is a possibility OF
the near future hinted at in a re-
port of a committee organized here
to make survey of Ireland's min
eral wealth. 1t is believed that an
cient deposits of gold, which were
worked in the late eighteenth cen
tury along the Ballinvally stream
might be found commercially prof
table under modern mining meth
DDS.
According to the published state
ment, the first discovery OF gold
along the Ballinvally was made in
1876, when a nugget weighing hall
an ounce was picked up. News OF
the discovery spread like wildhre
through the hills and glens of Wick
low, and the fortune of every in
habitant of the surrounding country
seemed achieved. The search con-
tinued for two months, and at the
end of that time 2,6o6 ounces OF
pure gold had been found. The gov
ernment then took over control and
operations continued for several
years, yielding on an average of 5l0,-
600 year over long period.
The gold found ranged from tiny
atoms to nuggets weighing over a
pound. One nugget weighed p
ounces, messing four inches in
length by three in breadth. A gild-
ed plaster cast of this nugget, which
was retained by the finder, has re-
Gently been placed on exhibition at
Trinity College, Dublin.
As late as 1856 nugget weighing
six ounces was picked up in the Bal
linvally, and it is believed that with
the latest modern methods sub
stantial profit could be made from
operations in this district.
The spots proposed for experiment
are at Cronebane, Ballinvally, Gro
gan-Mor and killahurian.

STATE BEHIND
IN ITS v. s. s.
SUBSCRIPTIONS

Muskogee, Okla, July l.-Okla-
homa is behind in its quota of sub
scriptions to war savings stamps,
according to partial reports re-
ceived from all but II of the II
counties in the state.
While many counties made good
showing, there were quite num-
Der that failed TO raise more than
half of the quota assigned. George
w. Barnes, state director, said that
he believed that with continuation
of the campaign for several days
these counties could be brought up
to the standard. He has forwarded
message to the county chairmen
asking them to wage relentless
campaign until every man, woman
and child has been enlisted, in ac-
cordance with the proclamation of
the president.
Reports indicate that the farmer,
the mechanic and the wage earners
generally have responded, but that
the well-to-do have failed to answer
the presidents appeal. County
chairmen will Immediately begin an
examination of the pledges with a
view to having many persons, finan-
cially able to do so, increase their
subscriptions.
The campaign in Oklahoma will
continue until the state has sub
scribed or exceeded its quota. f. K.
Carhart, vice-director, who has
charge of subscriptions among
employees of the industrial estab-
lishments, reports excellent results.
Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo has sent message asking that
an extra effort be put forth to put
Oklahoma "over the top"
A special effort to enlist the men
and women of means in the 81 900
w. S. S. Limit Clubs will be made
in every county. Nowata obtained
100 81 900 subscriptions, leading all
cities of it's size.
Complete returns from all of the
II counties will not be available for
several days. 1t is the aim of the
state organization to make every
county in the state 100 per cent in
subscriptions, the campaign to con-
tinue until this has been accom-
pliShed.

PRISONER 81 DAYS OF
CHINESE BANDITS
American Engineer Tells Of Expe-
riences With Yellow Thugs.

riences With Yellow Thugs.
Peking, May 2S.-Correspond-
ence of The Associated Press).-
Although captive of Chinese band
its for 81 days, George A. Kyle OF
Portland, Ore, chief engineer of an
American construction company
returned to Peking in good health
and spirits. The bandits treated
me as we'll as might have been ex-
pected," he said. He was taken
prison on March Is.
His release was brought about
through efforts of the American le
CATION, represented on the spot by
DR.. Charles D. Tenney. assisted by
+. c. Hitchcock, Mr.. Kyle's imme
diate chief. Both of the last named
were for weeks in Honan province
working with the governor of the
province and the military authorities
in Kyle's behalf.
No little credit is due also to the
activity of the Catholic mission, rep
resentatives of which acted as in
termediaries between the authori-
ties and the bandits. 1t is said to
have been largely through assur-
ances given by priests OF that mis-
sion that the brigands were brought
to accept guarantee offered by
General Chang Shen and to sur
render their captive.
The bandits evidently regarded
me as their best asset If it came to
making terms with the authorities, y
said Mr.. Kyle to representative of
The Associated Press. They shared
everything with me, even their beds.
The ravages of the vermin was the
most trying of my experiences and
next to that was the never ending
night marches across country. Al
ways when We stopped in villages
they tried to keep my presence
secret, and often they kept me awake
SO that might not snore and give
things away.
"Only few of the younger mem
bers of the bandits gang got rough
now and then. They used to draw
their fingers across their throats and
presumably tell me in Chinese that
that was what was coming to me,
though |, of course, did not under
stand what they said.

one of them kept hold of my hand.

ravine. The bullets were singing all
