south Carolina Cotton.

Columbia, Aug. 26.-The rains of the
week were harmful to cotton by caus-
ing increased shedding of squares and
young bolls. and rust has appeared in
nearly all sections. In places the rains
caused too rank a growth of weed at
the expense of fruitage that was all
ready on the stalks. These unfavorable
conditions were general, while caterpil-
lars, sharp-shooters and boll-worms APP
peared locally, but have as yet caused
small damage. Cotton is opening slow
ly in the eastern and central counties,
and has not begun to open in the west
ern ones. Picking is as yet sporadic.
Sea island cotton continues to make
Seasonable improvement.

MINING IN SIBERIA.

Few persons stop to consl1r that Siberia IS only 40 miles distant from America, and that the scenes of mining operations inaugurated in 1902 by the North eastern Siberian Company, Ltd, the Behring straits are not as far from Nome the mining districts adjacent to Kotzebuc sound. The results of last years operations there were the establish ment of three supply stations ill different parts of the territory and the discovery of gold, both in quartz and placer. This year the work of prospecting is carried on by larger force of men, most of them be- ing Americans. It is the first tine in history, where Russian company, with the Conselt of the Russian government, extends general invitation to American prospeCtors and miners enter Siberia to prospect and mine and it is expected that few years from now we will witness the same activity ill the develop ment of the mineral resources of Northeastern Siberia at present taking place in Northwestern Alaska.
 When the officers of the Russian warshp " Man. chur -" landed at Nome short time ago, they were astonished to find a city with railroads, electric lights and water works, this far northern tundra, the existence of which can only be explained by the word gold" and since the yellow metal exists across the straits, it is reasonable to expect in the near future towns railroads mining canals and camps over there.
 Nome certainly has nothing but the glad hand for Siberian adventures because their growth will only help Nome. The natural basis of supply for that vast country for the next twenty years Nome, and the there is of development there the better or Nome. The Manchur has twice found supplies in Nonc and it is but reasonable to expect that history will repeat itself and that most of the supplies for Siberia will be found in Nome.
