Thomas j. Martin and family left
here Monday for Iowa and will make
their home there for awhile. We say
aYhile because when people leave La

Martin has, it is a sure thing that
they will come back again. And
while we regret to lose Mr.. Martin
and his family, the hope still re-
mains of their return.

Opening Up a New World

New York Tribune. A current item of
news is suggestive of the Importance of
the new world which is beng opened bv
the construction of the Russian railroad
across Siberia and China.--lt~is that an
English company has bean formed with
j 5000, 600 capital to develop certain gold
fields i'll the Amoor territory, where it
has a concession of $40, 600 acres. That
an English company. of the very nation
supposed to be most a~ntagonistic to Rus
STA. should secure such a concession is
in itself a striking circumstance. 1t
Seems to indicate tbs Siberia is being
opened up to all the world. That so large
a gold mining enterprise is afoot serves
also to recall the fact that Siberia is con-
spicuous among the gold producing lands
OF the world n promises some day to
outrank them all. AS yet the mineral
resources have only begun to be devel-
oped. Yet at the present time Siberia
exports more than $25. 600, 600 of gold
yearly and ank as the fourth gold pro-
ducing country. AS for its wealth in
silver. platinum, iron. lead. coal, naph-
tina. precious stones, etc, it is simply in
calculable.

strip $50 miles wide and between 1000 and
5000 miles long of virgin soil and of gem
ial climate. The possibilities of such a
region are simply ineXpressible. 1t is
literally a new world, which may before
the coming century ends sustain a pros

millions. We know what our own ans

continental railroads have done for the
Great Plains and for the region once
branded ase he Great American Desert"
and supposed to be as inhospitable to
settlement as the worst of Siberia. Well,
Siberia is now being provided with such
a road, which will be finished two years
hence, With it's western termini on The
North Atlantic, on the Baltic, on the
Black Sea and in the heart of Europe,
and its eastern on the yellow Sea and
the Sea of Japan.
The effect of this railroad building IS
already to be seen Mr.. A.. K. Coluuhoun
in his interesting and authoritative ar
ticle III the current Monthly Review
tells us that in the seven years 1S93-'99
nearly $4,000, 600 acres of public land We're
transformed into farms, of which five
seventies are now actually occupied.
Since 1887 more than LOCO. 900 immigrants
have settled in Siberia. There We're only
81 ,43o of them in 1898: there were 233, 9Sl
in 1899, and this years number will be
still larger. For three months in 1895 the
railroad carried oil, 900 passengers and
Ga, ESQ tons of freight. For three months
in 1899 it carried LOIS, 900 passengers and
1857 tons. An increase in four years
on a still unfinished road of 410 per cent
in passengers and 1,045 per cent in goods
suggests a wondering inquiry as to what
the increase may be in another four
years, when the road is completed. Such
is the land and such its great highway,
of which the eastern gate looks straight
toward our own western gates. 1t is no
land of ours but alien. Yet he must be
blind indeed who does not see in the
opening of it a circumstance of profound
Importance to us and one calling for
the prompt putting forth of every means
of communication and every effort to-
ward close relationship in industry and
commerce.. The purely Russian telegraph
line from the Baltic to the Pacific should
be met by a purely American cable from
Asia to the United States. and the first
through trains on the trans-Asian rail-
road should find trans-Pacific steam
ships awaiting them under the American
fiag.

There seems to be no question but
that Stratton's Independence mine at

The mine is not much below the 1000

is in having insufficient reserve funds
