RUSSIAN PLATINUM MINES.—The entire production of the Ural platinum mines during the last ten years has been sold to a foreign syndicate, which originally had the idea of speculating upon a progressive demand for the metal for electrical purposes. Since work on the Trans-Siberian railway was initiated, a scarcity of labour ... diminution in the production from 1,249 kilogrammes in 1880 to 1,113 kilogrammes in 1889, The total output of the rough mineral in Russia in 1881, was 2,986 kilo­ grammes ; 1882, 4,081; 1883, 3,527 ; 1884, 2,137 ; 1885, 2,591, and 1886, 4,319 kilogrammes. All the mineral extracted comes from the Goi-oblagodz and Nigi-Taguitsk mines in the government of Perm.
