Consul Holloway Makes Statement Regarding Wealth of siberian
 l. Gold Mines.

Consul General Halloway, at St. Pe- tersburg, has given the Siberian gold mines a black eye. In a report to the state department he says: The value of Russian gold mines has been greatly exaggerated. Several experienced American mining engineers, who are admitted to be the best in the world, have visited Siberia in the interest of English as we'll as American capitalists during the last three years and made extensive exam nations of the conditions, and I have not heard of single company being organized as n result of their reports. The mining is almost all placer, there being but two small quartz mines in the Cral mountains, which are owned by French capitalists, and are said to be losing money"

AN ENGAGING NOVEL OF BLoODsHED
AND LOVE

sHAM I, e y, WAYNE Romano Of the LAST Last
teud Of Mayne and R9tel5Ie. BY HalIweH
WHERE ANGELS FEAR To TREAD" AND
OTHER TALES or THE SEA BY Morgan
Robertson. 2rno. PIP 500 The Century Com
pany
I2mo. pp. 81 D. Appleton & Co
The author of Shameless Wayne" has re-
turned in that book TO the same scenes and
types that made his "Ricroft of Withens' in
teresting His romance is OF two English
families in the times and places on which the
law bestowed few inQuisitive glances. Sixty or
seventy years before the action Of the story
opens there was d wrong committed by a Rat
cliffe against a Wayne, and through all the
long years the descendants of those involved in
the trouble kill one another as often as they
have the opportunity. shameless Wayne be-
gins with murder, and goes on to other deeds
Of blood. OF course, after the fashion Of these
romances, there are lovers on both sides a
Wayne winning the heart Of a Radcliffe and
vice versa. This breeds complications. and the
tale of bloodshed is long in telling. Mr. SUIT
cIiffe has skilful way with him, however. and
though the atmosphere Of his book is some
times oppressiveIy Iurid he contrives that the
reader shall not put the narrative down until
he has finished it. The spirit Of the novel IS
htly wild and creepy" There is a phantom
COS n the plot VINO pays an active part IN the
slow but sure destruction of the house Of Rat
clife, and, though this were not enough the
author causes one OF his personages to lose
her wits in an early chapter, so that her eerie
figure adds 10 the note ot horror provided by
Barguest, the invisible dog.
MI Morgan Robertson's material is generally
too realistic in its grirnness to be amusing, yet
he has the narrative gift and is pleasant to
read. even when he is reciting some OF the
worst brutalities Of the merchant service. He
is readable because he tells so well his stories
Of mutiEy and adventure on the high seas.
Also he persuades Us because he so obviously
knows what he is writing about He has
grasped the fact that to call sailors life a
dogs life is to libel the latter. and he proves
this TO The tituIar story in the book may
seem in its sequence of events a little dubious.
But it is sound in details, sound in the broad
impression il conveys Of what may go
aboard a ship commanded by the wrong kind
Of captain. Beneath his candid statement OF
hard facts there turks vein OF humor. Though
the book is often painful il is just and it IS
intensely interesting
From the author Of The Silence Of Dean
Maitland" We are entitled 10 expect better work
than appears in The Worlds Mercy" a volume
of short stories yet If there is a little too
much sentimentality in these narratives there
IS also a good deal Of human nature. The
chief story is too squalid reach the effect
Of tragedy at which the author OF il aims. "A
Summer Night" on the other hand. is a tale
Of genuine power and there are qualities in
Sweet Revenge" An Old Song and The
widows Clock" which make the reading Of
them a pleasure.
