The minerals of Manchuria have not 

 yet been scientifically explored, but 

 gold, iron, coal, and soda are exten- 

 sively worked, and silver, copper, and 

 lead are known to exist. Gold is widely 

 distributed throughout the three prov- 

 inces of Manchuria, but the richest de- 

 posits are found in the far north, on 

 the right bank of the Amur, the divid- 

 ing line of Manchuria and Siberia.
