Semipalatinsk is a mountainous province of Asiatic Russia, now in Kazakhstan, stretching between Lake Balkash (South) and Tomsk. It encloses stretches of steppe-land on which cattle and horses are reared. Some mining of silver, lead, and copper is also done. Semipalatinsk, the capital, stands on the Irtish. It holds two annual fairs, and is an important trading mart.
