KOLIVAN', a city of Ruftia, and capital of a govern¬ 
ment, fituated on the Oby. Near this city are fome rich 
filver mines, difeovered in the year 1725. The filver dug 
from thefe mines is mixed with the proportion of three to 
a hundred parts of gold, and is fent to Peterfburg. From 
the accounts of the board of mines, thofe of Kolivan pro¬ 
duced, fince they were difeovered in 1725, till 1786, about 
3,520,000 pounds of filver, and 48,000 pounds of gold, 
■which yield at an average a produce of 50,000 pounds of 
filver and 1600 pounds of gold per annum. The mines 
and-foundaries of Kolivan employ near 40,000 men, ex- 
clufiveof its peafants in the neighbourhood of Tomfk and 
Kyunetz, who redeem their capitation-tax by cutting 
wood, furnilhing charcoal, and tranfporting the mineral 
to the founderies. Since the year 1765, the board of 
mines have difeovered a way of paying the expences of 
working thofe of Kolivan, by coining the copper drawn 
from them, which was in a manner thrown away on ac¬ 
count of the carriage, which was abfolutely neceftary to 
make it advantageous. Now it is carried to Suzunfkoi, 
which is fome verfts from thence, where it is coined into 
pieces of two copeks, .with which the workmen are paid. 
The filver, eaft into ingots in the fame town, is tranfport- 
ed to Peterfburg by convoy, when the feafon permits -. 480 
miles fouth-fouth-eaft of Tobolfk, and 88.0 eaft of Upha.

KOLIVAN', the name of a range of mountains, con- 
ftituting the principal part of the Altai mountains, or the 
K O L 
proper ore-mountains of Altai, which fee. The Kolhy- 
van-vos-krefen(koi mountains derive their appellation from 
the adjacent lake Kolhyvan, which has given its name to 
the whole chain between the Irtifch and Oby, as well as 
to the government, and from the firft copper-mine, called 
Vofkrelenfkoi. Thefe mountains are bounded on the 
fouth by the granitic ridge, which parts them from the 
Korbolikinftcoi, which fee. They are confined to the eaft 
by the deep valley in which the line of the prefent fire- 
pofts is drawn, and by the lofty Tigeretzkoi (now-moun¬ 
tains 5 and bounded on the north by the river Tlharyfii, 
whofe courfe is accompanied by coniiderable high fchilt 
and chalk mountains; towards the weft they lofe them- 
felves in the north-weftern Steppe. The greateft elevation 
of thefe mountains is the Sinnaia-fopka, or Blue-mountain, 
which is computed to rife 2814 Parifian feet above the 
level of the fea. At the middle and greateft height, this 
range confiftsof a moftly coarfe granite, compofed of Spa- 
tum campeftre, quartz, and blackifh mica. In the angle 
formed by the Little Biela with the Great Biela, at the foot 
of the Blue mountain, are found fchiftus and chalk-ftone, 
in which latter are fome little cavities, containing lapis 
calcareus ftaladites. From the Little Biela the mountains 
rife again toward the fouth, elevating themfelves to the 
Revennaia-Jopka, or Rhapontic fummit, which is furround- 
ed by the ore-mountains, and confifting of fchiftus cor- 
neus, mixed fparingly with mica fpathoia and crumbs of 
mica campeftris, in which latter are a few (mall hollows, in 
which are found ftalaciites. Towards the weft, from the 
Blue mountain, runs the granite-mountain range, in bulk 
from 15 to 30 verfts, interrupted by a multitude of val¬ 
leys, proceeding 100 verfts to the Alay, and there uniting 
with the Alaifkoi granite-hills. The northern foot of this 
granite-ridge runs under powerful fchiftus and chalk 
mountains, in and between which the two firft Kolhyvan 
mines were dug. Another mighty ridge of granite runs 
from the Blue mountain northwards to the river Tfltaryfh, 
under-run on the weftern fide by fchiftus and chalk. This 
trad of mountains is uncommonly rich in filver, copper, 
and zinc, ores. See Korbolikinskoi.
