FIND NEW SOURCE OF OILS AND MINERALS Russia and Siberia Proving to Be
 Valuable in Natural Products

Moscow. Jan. 1i.--Sopiet Russia has been unable, so far. to do much to- wards tho rehabilitation of her exist ing mines, but scarcely a day passes that some new discovery of mineral or oil deposits is not reported.
 The Russians themselves have long known that various unexplored re- eions Of the north and Siberia hold some of the richest metal deposits in the world. During the past year dozens Of scientic expeditions have been sent out to investigate the possibilities or these regions.
 From Nladivostok it is reported that the commission Of Professor Poievoy, which has returned from kamtchatka. announces 1t was successful in finding great sources Of oil there, so plentiful that it literally could be squeezed from the clay.
 Another commission explored the Tongussky basin, near the rivers Yen esei. Lena and Angara in Siberia. At Novonikoisievssk this commission an- nounced the discovery of great coal fields in the basin. Platinum and graphite also were found.
 Explorations arc continuing in the Kola peninsula. where last year number of hitherto unknswn metals were Recovered. in the mountainous districts between the Arctic and the White Sea. These metals are sup posed to have been of meteorogica1 origin.
 Work also is continuing in the ex- ploration of the huge field Of magnetic iron ore in the kursk province in South Central Russia. which for a number Of years has been known to exist and was extensively studied by scientists as the "kursk Anomaly" In this region the magnetic strength of the ore Is such that compasses point towards fl instead of to the magnetic pole in the north. Estimates as to the quantity Of Iron ore in the field vary but slfhcient boring has been done to indicate that it Is probably the largest individual iron deposit yet discovered.
 While some of the more enthusiastic scientists have recommended imme- 1 diate development Of the newly dis covered natural wealth, the govern ment's economic policy seems to be to put existing mines in good shape be- fore putting any of the limited amount of money at its disposal into proper | ties which may not produce for some I years
