PETITION TO CHANGE
RUSSIAN MINE LAWS
Imperial Authorities Asked
to Be More Liberal.
CONDITIONS ARE OPPRESSIVE
Complete Freedom for Industrial En-
terprises the Need of the Coun-
try for Some Years.

For the purpose OF encouraging foreign
capital in the development OF Russian
mines. a petition has been presented
to the imperial authorities at st.
Petersburg OF it, w. r. Holloway,
United States consul general at St.
Petersburg. has written the state Dc
partment as follows:
THE bourse committee at Vladivo-
stock has addressed, through the gov
ernor. a petition to the imperial authOri-
ties at ST. Petersburg, praying for the
removal or modification OF the existing
prohibitory law against all foreign in
dustrial enterprises. especially for
mining. In the coast districts OF Rus
sian China. The statute in question,
promulgated June L, 1901. prohibits all
foreign mining operations and other in
dustrial enterprises within about sixty
six miles OF the coast line.
Native Enterprise Lacking.
The petitioners state that, owing TO
the lack of native capital and enter
prise, there is no immediate prospect
Of a rational development of the mineral
wealth and other Industrial resources
OF that region. II is declared that, as
at present administered. this prohibitive
law is partial and unsatisfactory in eff
feet. Exceptions are made in granting
concessions without any comprehensive
bases. American, French. and Belgian
prospect0rs, representing wealthy
syndicates. seeking mining conces-
sions on tho Ussuri, in Sakhalin, have
recently arrived
"A French syndicate which applied
for a concession to work extensive coal
fields in the neighborhood of Vladivo-
stock. was refused, but the concession
has been granted to an English company
trading under the Russian flag This
British enterprise will shortly. it is ex-
pected, be in a position to furnish both
Viadivostock and the Ussuri Railway
with plenty OF good and cheap coal.
Numerous foreign syndicates have
sought concessions for the development
OF the silver and lead deposits lately
discovered in the Ussuri region; but
they werc met by the law that prohibits
the working of all kinds OF mineral ore
by foreigners.
Present Requirements.
What the country requires. the petit
ticners urge. is. for a number OF years
at least. complete freedom OF operations
for foreign capitalists, engineers. prac-
ticsl miners. and, above all, foreign
brains and energy. This petition states
that the mining affairs in all parts OF
far eastern Russia are subordinate 10
the mining commission at Irkutsk,
thousands Of miles distant. and neces-
sarily ignorant OF the local conditions
Ill
Jurisdiction. The petition begs that this
be forthwith remedied."
