Russia Is fully convinced that there
are vast resources in minerals, furs
and forests In part OF this north
eastern extension of Siberia, and that
they are comparatively worthless un-
til an outlet is provided.
AS the outcome OF the war the em-
pire has lost much Of its opportunity
and influence in East Asia. The gov
ernment policy is now turning eagerly
to the idea Of doing everything it can
to develop this neglected arts Of 81
IBERIA, both as a source Of wealth and
as an outlet for the energies Of the
Russian people.
This is the reason that commits

proposed routes for the railroad to
which they will give attention.
The route that at first seemed to
be most in favor Is shown by dotted

neff along the northern tundra and
through the towns Of Verchoyansk
and Yakutsk and thence down the
Lena river to Irkutsk. where 1t would
meet the Trans-Siberian road This
project has developed strong opposi-
tion, chiefly under the leadership OF
Alexander Sibiriakoff, the well known
Siberian explorer. Public sentiment
seems now to be overwhelmingly in
favor of the route shown on our map
by solid black line This route ex-
tends southwest to Gishiga, then
skirts the coast of the Okhotsk sea
to the Amur river at Nikolajevsk. and
follows the Amur valley to Chaba.
rovsk Here the railroad would end,
for the Assuri River railroad joins
this point with Vladivostok and the
Trans-Siberian road.
1t is expected that all the prelimi-
nary studies for the railroad will be-
made within the next year; but there
is no telling when Russia will be in
position to invest the large amount
of money required to build the line.
Her present financial position is de
plorable and the government railroads
have not been paying expenses for
some time. Nobody doubts. however,

that land so richly blessed with
natural wealth as Russia is will see
prosperity again when good govern
ment and peace at home and abroad
are its portion. The educated classes
are fully in favor Of this railroad pro
ject. 1t will certainly be built when
the conditions permit, for it is neces-
sary to the development OF the great
potentialities of Eastern Siberia.
Nobody knows whether the building
of this Siberian line will ever incite
the construction of a road across
Alaska to Bering strait. 1t is danger
Gus. however, to fix any limitations
upon human enterprise. A few years
ago we should have laughed at the
idea that in 1905 about three hundred
British scientists would visit the Vic
toria Falls of the Zambesi by a rail-
road extending 1,600 miles from the
ocean. No prophet can safely say
that the top notch of Alaska's deveI-
opment is within sight. 1t is GER
tain that if a railroad is ever needed
across Alaska it will be built; and
II the Asian and American rails ap-
proach within thirty-six miles of one
another, who dare say that the gap
will not be filled somehow? If it is,
the through rail route between New
York and Paris will be an accomplish

mated that the cost of building the
tunnel and the Siberian section of the
road will. be about $25O,0OO,O 900. This
is probably a preliminary estimate,
upon which little reliance can be
placed.
What are the veal reasons for the
genuine interest which Russia is TAX
ing in this enormous project? The
most important among them may be
briefly mentioned here.
Before the recent war very import
ant development had occurred in
Southeast Siberia in its agricultural,
mining and commercial interests, all
Of which was directly traceable to the
completion of the Trans-Siberian rail-
road. This development was not ac-
companied by parallel progress in the
north, but, in fact, it tended to draw
off Russian activities from the arctic
and sub-arctic belts of the czar's
Asiatic domain to the more temperate
and promising zones.
The railroad had the effect to at
tract all enterprise to the southeast.
The European outposts in the Chuk-
che country of the northeast were
gradually abandoned, the settlements
along the Kolyma, Yana, and Irdigirka
rivers declined, and some of the old
colonies Of the eighteenth century
were wholly deserted. Everybody
flocked to the south. though Russia
was just beginning to find new
riches in the north.
1t was learned over three years ago
that the gold-bearing areas Of Alaska
apparently extend under Bering strait
and reappear on the neighboring
shores of Asia. The Bordanowicz
and other expeditions which were
sent by the government reported that
there was gold in paying quantities
within ten miles of Cape Deshneif,
and that both coarse and fine gold
were found in most Of the river val
leys coming out of the mountains and
reaching the sea between the coast
settlements of Gishiga and Okhotsk,
shown on our map. The studies in
this region have scarcely more than
begun. but, on the whole, the pros
poets for mining development are "a
vorable. and the great mountain re-
gion between the sea and the Lena is
known to be rich in gold. Before the
war the gold output In the Lena basin
trebled in four years.
1t was also found that among these
mountains and along the coastal plain
was great ressrye for the fur trade,

Railroad Line to Connect
New York with Paris

Nearly everybody has laughed at
the fantastic project OF connecting
New York with Paris by rail- Only
Frenehmen and Russians treat the
matter seriously. The French, origin
atlng the project some ten years ago,
have memorialized every government
through whose territory the road
would pass. The French press and
scientific periodicals today give sober
consideration and encouragement to
the scheme. The Russians have rea-
sons Of their own for heartily favor
ing IT,
They say that the plan is perfectly
feasible. Their engineers and explor-
ers have written scores Of articles
on the practicability of the scheme.
They have treated the matter, as far
as it relates to Russian territory, in
all its aspects, and have especially
discussed the comparative merits
Of the different routes proposed from
Bering strait through Northern Sibe-
ria to the Trans-Siberian railroad in
the south.
The project, in brief, is to connect
the existing railroads in America with
Bering strait by line running north
through Canada and Alaska, Bering
strait to be crossed by a bridge or a
tunnel and the rails to be carried
through Northeastern Siberia to the
Trans-Siberian railroad.
The Russians have rejected the
idea of a bridge across Bering strait
as of doubtful practicability Their
engineers favor a tunnel in two sec
tions between Cape Prince of Wales,
Alaska. and Cape Deshneff (East
Cape), Siberia, distance of thirty
six miles, The continuity of the tun-
mel would be broken nearly midway
in the strait by the larger of the Dio-
med islands, but each of the two
tunnels would be considerably longer
than the Simpson tunnel, now The
longest tunnel in the world.
In spite of her political and finan-
cial difficulties, Russia has just taken
steps to decide upon the best route
in Siberia and to make a practical
study of the tunnel project Early in
December last commission was ap-
pointed to investigate these ques-
tions on the ground, and it will begin
it's work next spring. The st. Peters

before the Maine courts. A bishop
