SIVAS

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 163 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SIVAS , one of the largest and most important vilayets of
Asia
 
Minor
 , lying between 38 30' and 41 N. and 35 30' and 39 E. It is rich in
mineral
  wealthsilver, lead, copper, iron, manganese, arsenic, alum, salt and coal; and has several hot and cold
mineral
  springs, and large forests of fir, pine,
beech
  and oak. The climate is good, the
average
 
elevation
  of the province being over 3500 ft., and the soil fertile. Wheat and barley are largely grown on the
plateau
 , and in the lower districts there are extensive fruit orchards and vineyards. The port of the vilayet is
Samsun
  (q.v.), whence a chaussee runs through Amasia, Tokat, and Sivas to Kharput; but Sivas is also connected by road with the
minor
  Black Sea ports, Unieh, Ordu and Kerasund. The rates for transport are, however, prohibitive.
Angora
  is the nearest railway point.
