While English goods are reaching
the heart OF Siberia by means of
those great natural waterways, the
Lena and the Yenisei, enterprising
Americans are turning their atten-
ton to the rich regions along the
Amur and in the transbaikal pro-
vince, which, as is we'll known, are
exceedingly rich in gold, iron, coal,
and other minerals. These regions
offer great future to American in.
dustry, and, If Russian of1icialism
does not bar the way, there is no
reason why eastern Siberia should
nat become in comparatively short
period one OF the richest and most
fourishing portions of the czar's
empire. Blessed with a splendid
climate and fertile soil, which re-
quires no artificial enrichment, it is
capable of producing immense guam
titles of corn, fruit, and all kinds of
cereals.
