THE SIBERIAN ROAD
WONDERFUL EMPIRE OF ,
WEALTH BEING OPENED. '
One Thousand Cars Used In Carrying t
Dairy Products Increasing Demand
for American Machinery and Tools.)
Frank 0. Carpenter, that prince of
newspaper correspondents, has Just
written a syndicate article on tho
freight traffic and general features
of the great Siberian road, which Is
highly Interesting reading.
He Interviews tho Russian railway
engineer, Prince Illlkoff, who start
ed 011 a successful career of railroad
building on tho American continent,
some an years ago.
l'llnco Hllkoft, when asked about
the character of freight hauled by
tho road at the present time, said:
"It Is far different from whnt we
supposed It would be," replied Prluco
Hllkorf. "We expected to carry grain,
cattle, farming machinery, merchan
dise and military supplies, and so
we do. but in addition we havo a
big business In dairy products:. Tho
grass of Western Slbera is very rich.
There are vast pastures and tho cat
tle feeding upon them produce tho
finest of mill; and butter. Siberia Is
already one of the chief dairy coun
tries of tho world, and butter from
there Is shipped direct to Loudon
over the Trans-Siberian road and
through Russia. Wo carry It to the
Ualtlc ami send It thence to Kngland
by fast steamers. It. takes about
three weeks to get 11 to tho seaboard.
It Is carried In retrlgerator cars,
sunn cooled by Ice ami some by chem
icals. One Thousand Cars in Use.
"Wo have already 1,0(10 cars devot
ed to this trade alone, and during tho
season wo run two fast butter trains
overy day. We have refrigerators at
the stations to store the butter. Wo
are already shipping almost a billion
ami a half pounds of butter a year,
and the business is in Its Infancy. It
will steadily grow and in time Im
proved breeds of cattle will be In
troduced. Fruit for The Far East.
"Another teat tire of our trafllc,"
continued 1'rlnce Hllkorf, "is the ship
ment 01 fruits to Siberia. Thure are
people in Siberia who have never seen 1
apples, grapes and oranges until tho '
coming of tlie railroad. These fruits i
were sold only In tho larger cities.
They had to be brought by the post
or by steamers, and it was impossi
ble to carry perishable fruit. Or
anges then brought as much as 75
cents and 51 apiece. They are now
sold at reasonable prices all along ,
the railroad."
"How about grain, your excellency,
can you make a low enough freight
rate to compete with ours In the mar
kets of Europe?"
"I think we shall be able In do so,"
replied tho minister of railroads. "We
are already shipping grain northward
to Archangel, and from there to dif
ferent parts of Europe by sea. Our
grain market of the future will bo
largely in the far East. There is an
enormous demand for wheat and
other cereals in China, and that trade
will probably bo developed."
American Trade With Siberia. 1
"How about the prospects of Amer
ican trade in Siberia? Does it oiler
any field for our commercial in
vasion?" "Yes." replied Prince Hllkoft,
"American goods are already sold In
many parts of Siberia. This Is es
pecially so of farming tools. There
is a demand for reapers nnd mowers
and there should bo an oponlug for
all sorts of goods supplied by the
Western states. I look for a great In
crease In tho commerce between East
ern Siberia and the Pacific' slope.
That part of your country Is almost
destitute of good coal. Wo have ex
cellent coal In Siberia, which we can
ship you at a profit, nnd In return tho
vessels can bring hack American mer
chandise and machinery. American
furniture is also In demand, and there
is no reason why all sorts of Ameri
can goods should not be sold."
"How about the coal nreas of tho
Trans-Siberian railroad?"
Extensive Coal Beds.
"Wo aio finding now coal fields
overy year," replied Prince Hllkorf.
"One of tho great arguments against
building tho road was tho probable
lack of fuel. It was said tiiat wo
should have lo cut down tho forests
to feed tno engines. The prospects
aro that wo shall havo plenty or coal
for all tlnio from tho beds along the
line of the road. Tho coal wo aro
now using comes from deposits near
tho track. Some of It is excellent
coking coal, and near it are largo de
posits of iron, so that wo expect to
havo a manufacturing industry away
out tlioro in Siberia."
A Look at the Trans-Siberian Road.
1 here asked some questions about
tho Improvements or tho Trans-Siberian
Railroad, and his excellency took
mo across tho room and showed mo a
number of maps In Illustration of his
talk. I can only givo the gist of his
conversation. The road when com
pleted with its .Mancliiirlan branches
will be G.I542 miles long, and the roulo
from ocean to ocean, that Is, from
Havre to Vladlvostock, will bo 7,50(1
miles In length. At present It takes
a little over two weeks to go from
St. Petersburg to Port Arthur, and
tho time will eventually be cut down
to 10 days. General Miles made tho
trip from Pokin to St. Petersburg In

PRODUCTION OF MAGNESITE.
Total Production of 1902 Was Only
3,446 Tons.
The report on the production of
maKiieslte in 1902. by Dr. Joseph
Struthers. will soon be issued by the
United States geological survey.
Tho production for 1002 was 3,-lilfi
short tons, valued at $21,302, as com
pared with 1:!,172 short tons, valued
at $l.'i,0."7. In 1001. The Imports of
crude and calcined magneslte during
l!i02 chiefly from Oreecc and Aus
triaamounted lo ia,7Sfi short tons
($::7:?,928), as compared with :i3,101
short tons In 1001.
In tho crude state magneslte Is
ubed In tho manufacture of carhon
dioxldc gas, by treatment with sul
phuric acid or by tho application of
heat alone. In tho former case mag
nesium sulphate Is obtained as a by
product, which yields Upsom salts,
the production In 1S02 being estimat
ed at about 150,000 barrels. The chief
use or the carbon-dloxldo gas deriv
ed Irom magneslte Is to charge, or
carbonate mineral waters. In its cal
cined stnto tho consumption of mag
neslte has Increased very' largely
since 1800, owing to Its uso nu a re
fractory lining for furnace and kilns.
As n commercial product tii.- mining
of magneslte is practically jiiflned
to California, and punelpally to i u
lare county.
WALKED 124,000 MILES.
Tennesse flora1 Mail Carrier Made
HIg Route on Foot for 25 Years.
A Kuoxvllle, Tenn., dispatch to the
Chicago Iuler-Ocean says; As a re
sult of the establishment of freo rur
ul delivery In Washington county,
William Archer has lost his Job after
carrying tho malls over a star route
for 2." years nnd walking the entire
time
Archer h- now 45. When he was 20
he got the job of carrying the mull
from Johnson City to Stony Point, a
distance of eight miles. He did the
work for 10 years and missed only
one day. and that on account of severe
Illness.
Ho then got the route from Stony
Point to Watauga Ilend, a distance of
10 miles, and bore ho carried the
main for ten years, walking continu
ally. Ho made tho round trip of 20
miles dnlly.
Five years ago he was transferred
hack to his old route between John
son City nnd Stony Point, and walked
10 miles a day. Ho continued to car
ry the mall on this route until the
postollicc was wiped out with all the
others In the county, und now he Is
without a Job,
Archer In his Idleness has been fig
uring up what ho has done for the
government, and ho finds by calcula
tion that lie has walked 121,000 miles
during his servlco of 215 years, or
lacked about 000 miles of having
walked around tho world fivo times.
Ho thinks he has tho world's record

While ho holds this record, ho has
nover received much pay. Ho has
never been ablo to buy a liorso, as ho
got only $20 a month. During tho
quarter of a century that ho has been
