Summary

  • This photograph is from Izyskaniia reki Zei v 1907-1909 gg. (Investigations of the Zeya River in 1907-1909), a unique integrated collection of documentary photographs that presents a vivid picture of the state of the Amur region up to 1909. The album was prepared in 1909-10 by the mechanical engineer Vladimir I. Fedorov (1876-1956) on the instructions of the waterways administration of the Amur basin. Its 100 photographs show natural scenes, indigenous peoples, settlers, river transport, and Russian surveyors at work. The photographs are captioned. The Zeya River is one of the most important tributaries of the Amur River. It rises in the Stanovoy range in the Russian Far East and runs southward and slightly to the west for 1,242 kilometers before joining the Amur near Blagoveshchensk. The album is held by the Amur Oblast Museum of Regional History and Folklife in Blagoveshchensk. It was digitized for the Meeting of Frontiers digital library project in the early 2000s.

  • -  Кулибины представляли собой простые промывочные устройства. Принцип работы был основан на большом удельном весе золота, которое задерживалось при смыве песков по наклонной поверхности с помощью специальных решеток, чугунных "трафаретов" и деревянных "плинтусов", поставленных на пути перемещения песчано-водяной пульпы. Мелкое золото улавливалось специальными волосяными ковриками или шинельным сукном, уложенным на дно кулибинки.
