more than 20, 000/. The hewers are obliged to perform their labour in galleries not more than twenty-two or twenty-eight inches high, the narrowest limits within which a man can possibly move and work. The boys who transport the ore slide or creep with a truly wonderful rapidity along the floor, dragging after them, by means of a sling attached to their foot, a waggon loaded with as much as five hundredweight of ore. The hewer's wages for seven hours ...of this hard work are no more than two shillings ; 'yet the miners look very healthy and cheerful, a remarkable proof of the wonderful effects of habit.
The vast empire of Russia produces about 5, 000 tons of copper annually, chiefly from the mines of the Ural, belonging to Prince Demidoff ; but a large proportion is furnished by the Asiatic mines of the Altai and of Nertschinsk in Trans- baikalia. New deposits have lately been discovered in the land of the Kirghise, near the Irtysch ; and, as the ores are exceedingly rich, and coal is found near them, they will, no doubt, become valuable in time.
