To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


[S3] Coal or lignite of various geological ages, including Carboniferous, Jurassic, and Ter- tiary, is very generally distributed through- out the eastern part of Siberia, but wood is so cheap that coal has not been much worked except for the railway and on the coast for ocean steamers. The beds are of considerable size, and the quality is often that of a very good bituminous coal, while elsewhere, espe- cially in the Tertiary strata, it is in the form of brown coal or lignite. Iron ores also o
...ccur in a great many places in the Ural Mountains and in the mountains of the eastern part of Siberia. They are extensively smelted on both slopes of the Urals, but further east they are worked to only a limited extent in the Gov- ernments of Yenisei and Irkutsk and the Territory of Transbaikalia. The abundance, however, of iron ore and fuel in Siberia offers the basis of a great manufacturing industry, though up to the present time (year 1901) the limited markets have retarded its devel- opment.
