STARVATION THREATENS
5000 RUSSIAN MINERS
Lena Go1dfields Company, British,
Yields Concession and With
draws From District.

BY the Associated Press
MOSCOW, May 23.-Reports from
Bodaibo, Siberia, today said that as a
result of the withdrawal of the Lena
Goldfields Co. from that district, 5000
miners and their families were threat
ened with starvation.
The company, British concern, gave
up its concessions some time ago. Au-
thorities said the condition Of the pop
ulation was caused by the lcompany's
failure to fulfill terms of the conces-
sionary agreement respecting food sup
plies for the workers.
As this region Is isolated, 1t will be
impossible to get food to the miners
until next Spring. when the Lena River
rises.
