Thca-aujs of Siberian gold diggers have Ta. he'd to the spot The inflax of Cbinese IS said to be three-iold that of the RussiaEs. Will the Chinese tie up their newly found California, as the RnssIaE5 have done, or tbrpw it open to Europe as we did California? The question is difficult to answer. A, any rate.
