GOLD IN RUSSIA.

The quantity of gold produced in 1864 by private industry, as well in the Oural mountains as in Eastern Siberia, amounted to nineteen tons, showing a slight falling off, as compared with the year 1863. The year 1865 was one of the most favorable character for the production of Russian gold, the results obtained having everywhere surpassed those of preceeding years. As regards Eastern Siberia, the production of 1865 exceeded that of 1864 by 2 743 tons, and that of 1863 by TOB6 tons. This augmentation, would have been greater if drought had not interrupted the works, was the result of works, in new bearings. In Western Siberia, 1865 yielded 0.272 tons more gold than was obtained in 1864, and almost twice as much as was produced in 1363. In the Oural district the production has scarcely changed of late years. From an absence of statistical documents as to the production of the state in the Oural district and in Eastern Siberia, we cau only form an idea of the importance of its bearing, andadopt as aminimun the production of former years —that is about 1670 tons for the Oural group, and 2-223 for Eastern Siberia. The total production of gold in Russia was estimated at nearly three tons in 1864, and at a little more than twenty-six tons in 1865.— London Alining -Journal
