UNCOVER RICHES IN RUSSIA
Development Of Mineral Deposits, Re-
tarded by Autocracy, Now Likely
70 Be Rapid.

As in everything else. the old re-
gime of Russia had it's strange hold
on the gold industry. Siberia and the
Ural could be considered the classical
parts of the world where deposits of
precious minerals abound and under
Il free ana progressive government
they could easily lead all the other
parts of the world, says the Russian
American Journal of Commerce. The
Russian press is full of news items
chronicling new discoveries of gold
and platinum deposits, as well as
other rare metals.
So from Krasnoyarsk in Siberia,
came the news that III the northern
and southern Enlsey mountain dis
trictS the gold seekers have lately
washed gold to the amount OF about
$3.50 pounds. From the Lena. well
known ms Il gold-bearing river. comes
the word that new rich gold and plati-
mum deposits were discovered on her
tributaries, Willy and also Markha.
With the laying Of the tracks of the
Amur railroad there Is almost Il con-
tinuouS procession of discoveries or
new deposits of precious metals. espo-
cially on the Rivers Burea and Khara /;
all the deposits are not far from the
new laid tracks and offer all the op-
portuniiies for successful develop
ment OF the newly discovered deposits.

Dress in London.

Something might be said of the
changes that three years of war have
brought about in our clothes. Evening
dress is not abolished. but ii is becom-
Ing much less customary in theaters
and restaurants. and people coming
IN TO London who used 10 bring eve
ming clothes with them no longer do

ing. and the soft collar is worn by all
classes. The democratic process had
already set in AT the house Of com
mons. One remembers the shock that
Mr.. Keir Hardic's cloth cap created on
its first appearance there. hut II has
advanced immensely since the war be-
gan. Frock coats are in small and
die-hard minority. Spats are on their
last legs. Top hats survive miraculous
ly. II might seem. until one remembers
their enduring qualities. 50 that their
persistence is only form of war
economy after all.
