Wages in Russia

CONSUL James w. Ragsdale writes
from St. Petersburg that as Russia is an
agricultural country it is interesting
to trace the flnctation in prices of labor,
which, like everything there during the
last ten years, shows progressive
tendency to increase. The consul
presents the following comparative
statistics: ,rsT'.Es ......r
Thus in 1904, the daily pay of a
laborer during the period of housing
crops increased, as compared with the
average pay from 1882 to 1891, through
out European Russia, from 80 to SO
kopecks 100 kopecks-1 ruble-51.5
cents,) or II per cent, except in
the following eight provinces, in
which the prices have fallen: Pskov, 3
per cent; Kiev, per cent; Don region,
7 per cent; Olontzk 10 per cent; Podolsk
% per cent; Kherson, 3S per cent, and
Bessarabia, 40 per cent. .....
Comparing the figures of 1906 (the
data for 1907 not yet being published), it
is seen that the prices have risen from

cept the Samara, Saratov, Simbirsk,
Kazan. Ufa, Orenburg, Penza and
Tambov. provinces, where prices have
fallen on an average from to 10 per
cent. .s,....,..,......-........ .'F:
Wages are lowest in the east, where
a laborer receives from 45 to 55 kopecks
a day. The highest pay received is in
the steppe region, where it is from 20
kopecks to II rubles day, fluctuating
in the other Russian provinces. This
amount covers mans labor and board
the latter being calculated at 10 to 20
kopecks a day. The net income of a
laborer in Euopean Russia amounts,
on the average, to 60 kopecks day.
The amount of wages paid to women
fuctuaees from 35 to 55 kopecks day,
or from three-ffths to two thirds of the
amount paid to men. In Asiatic Russia
the highest wage is paid in maritime
provinces, where laborer gets from 81
to rubles a day.-Consular Report.

How jim Fair Won His Forum.

The following dramatic account of
the finding of q Comstock ore shoot
occurs in ''The Tale of Silver"
And now Fair gained his fortune
claW. Working among his men in
barren rock, his keen eye discovered a
narrow seam of rich ore not thicker
than q. knife blade. They followed it
day by day, might by night with bull
9ogtelacity hundreds of feet into the
Bowels Of the earth; followed it when
their t,nly clew was u film of clay;
followed il until it began to widen out,
until it reached the dimensions of q
7-foot vein, averaging $50 per ton. At
a depth of 1857 feet the ore body
widened to 40 feet. In October they
were in bonanza. Probably the
richest hoard of precious metal ever
known in the history of the world had
been found by following an almost in
visible streak of clay.
The capital stock of the Consolidated
Virginia was increased to 1OS, 900 shares,
1t sold at $45 per share. In November,
1874, it sold at $115; in December at
1910, and in January, Immediately
