MUCH GOLD IN SIBERIA. Dimitri Evlno;'.l'élls;f a New Klon- | dike in the North. At the Palace, en route to his home, is | Russian sclentist, & the last five ears the geology and ogy of the country for the infor- mation of the imperial Government at St. Petersburg. Mr. Evanov is enthusiastic in the ex- treme concerning the future of Siberia, particularly that portion of it from Viadivostok north. He says the country is teeming with mineral wealth that| needs merely the hand of enterprise to! develop it and create on the Asiatic side of the Bering Sea and Arctic Ocean a rival of the famous Klondike. | While the country is not adapted for farming or agricultural pursuits it is| immensely rich in minerals, particularly gold, which can either be washed from the placers of the numerous rivers or mined from the hills farther in the in- terior. These pursuits, he thinks, if once prop- erly entered upon, would naturally at- tract thousands of people and become the means of adding various business en- | terprises to the industry of mining, which enterprises would be very materially helped by the completion of the Siberian railway by being brought into quick and direct touch with the various capitals of Europe. While the foregoing is the account that Mr. Evanov gives of his mission to Si- beria and his presence in this city, i1t is whispered that the real object of his being here is quite different. | For some time past it has been known that there were several agents ~f the Siberian Railroad in the United States | looking for a Pacific Coast terminal for their vessels which are to run out of Port Arthur. Mr. Evanov, it is said, | is one of these and his business here is to | look_at the facilities San Francisco has to offer, as he has already looked into the | | merits of Puget Sound ports He will | | also examine the ciaims of San Diego. and for steamship connections across the | Atlantic.
