Siberia’s Great Railway,

There are to be about 200 railway stations distributed over the new Siberian railway. The rolling stock will comprise 2,000 locomotives, 3,000 passenger cars and 36,000 goods wagons. The passenger traffic will be almost exclusively confined to third and fourth classes, and the tariff will be very low. The works in connection with this great undertaking are being pushed on with much energy, and the work, is expected to be completed' in about six years. The opening of this line will shorten the journey around the world by about twenty days.—Railway Age. The deepest gold mine In the world is at Eureka, Cal.; depth, 2,290 feet
