LONDON, Jan. 24—In an effort to
penetrate to every portion of Bel
gium's in their relief work the dele
gates of the American Commission for
the relief of Beligum have discovered
in the remotest corner of that country
a no man's land which since 1815 has
enjoyed absolute independence under
a guarantee of perpetual neutrality,
which even in the present struggle has
never been violated. This little coun
try of one square mile in size is call
ed Moresnet Neutre and has Holland
to the north, Beligum to the west and
Germany everywhere else. But Mor
esnet Neutre is neither Beligian nor
Dutch. It used to be a part of Belgium
and was until 1815 like the rest of
that country a province of France.
By the treaty of Vienna, Belgium and
Holland became independent coun
tries, but Moresnet, which at that time
held the greatest zinc mine of Europe
became a bone of contention between
Prussia and the Neitherlands. Fin
ally neither got it and the difficulty
was solved by making it neutral terri
tory.

KING OF NORWAY MAKES
LINDEBERG A KNIGH1
King Haakon, of Norway, lias hon
ored Jafel Lindeberg, the well knowr
Alaskan mining man, by bestowing thf
order of St. Olaf upon him. This Is
believed to be the first Instance lr
which the order has been bestowed
upon an American citizen.

It is presumed that I,!ndeb%rg wai
honored by King Haakon for his action
in outfitting the steamer Corwin at hifl
own expense and sending her to the
rescue of the crew of the Karluk, the
ill-fated steamer of the Stefansson

Governor Strong, of Alaska, in his
annual report on labor conditions in
the territory, say**:
There was an excess of labor in
nearly all Industrial sections of Alas
ka during the fiscal year. Despite
many warnings given by government
officials and others through the pub
lic press the influx of men seeking
work was almost continuous. In part
this influx of men seeking work was
stimulated by the beginning of con
struction work on the government
railroad at Anchorage on Cook Inlet.
However, up to this time, a consid
erable amount of labor has been ab
sorbed in railroad work, while mining
and prospecting afforded employment
for others.
The mines of southeastern Alaska
gave employment to a large number
of men, and the number so employed
Is constantly being increased. It is
expected that the opening of some of
the coal fields in Alaska will greatly
extend the volume of mining opera
tions throughout the territory through
the furnishing of coke and cheaper
fuel for Industrial use. The fishing
Industry the present season gave em
ployment to the usual number of men;
In this industry many Indians, Chi
nese. Japanese and other aliens are
employed.
The territorial legislature at its re
cent session passed an eight-hour
law for all workers in lode and placet
mines, and during the past summer in
the Ruby and Fairbanks raining dis
tricts labor strikes resulted In some
of the placer mines, when the employ
ers attempted to reduce the wage
scale which had been paid for a 10
hour day. In the Fairbanks districl
the difficulty was soon adjusted, how
ever, and the men returned to work
In the Ruby district the difficulty hai
continued without settlement. An
eight-hour law was already generall>
in force in the lode mines of the ter
ritory. The wage scale paid to placei
miners in the Fairbanks and Ruby (H*
i
tricts during the summer season priQI
1 to the passage of the eight-hour law
I was ?5 per tiny, In the Nome district
no reduction of the wage scale fol
! lowed the enforcement of the eight'
hour law. Wage scales in other parts
of the territory have remained prac
tically stationary during the year. The
scale of wages paid in lode mines in
Coastal Alaska is from $3 to $3.50 per
day.
