10 VIEW LODES
J For the purpose of providing the
people of Nenana with an oppor
tunity to become better acquainted
with a district, close t ) town, which
is full of promise as a future large
producer of gold quart:: aid oilier
minerals, the Nenana Commercial
club is planning to give an excur
sion to the end of ~teei, with a side
trip to Eva and Elsa creeks, in the
watershed of the Totatlanika river,
where several ledges of high grade
ore have been partially developed.
The party will go out to the end
of the line on u special train, pro
vided with bunk cars for the accom
modation of the. excursionists, leav
ing town during the evening and
spending the night on hoard the
train. From 43-milo the party wll
mush across country, a distance of
ten miles, assisted by dog sleighs or
other conveyances, returning prob
ably the same day.
Those not desiring to make the
side trip to the Eva district can go
on out the railroad, taking in n
Burns coal mine and points beyond,
where there are many large coal
veins exposed to view.
The excursion was suggested to
the club at last night’s meeting by
Chairman McDonald, who expressed
the belief that those interested in
the future of Nenana should make
the trip for the purpose of gather
ing first hand information relative
to the possibilities of a district, the
development of which will be of
direct benefit to the town. The
suggestion was received with en
thusiasm by the many members,
present, and a considerable number
made it known to the committee
appointed to arrange the details of
the trip, that they would join the
party. The members of the com
mittee- are Robert E. Burns, W. H
Gilchi - and J. A. Slippern.
In,' excursion probably will be
arranged for next week, leaving
town on Saturday night and return
ing Sunday night. The round trip
fare to the end of steel will be
!f3.90, which will include bunk car
accommodations going and coming.
Owing to the limited accommoda
tions on Eva creek, it will not be
possible for the party to spend the
night there, although Neil McCaul
has informed the club that he has'
room for four or five and will
gladly house that number for a
longer stay, should they desire to j
spend more than a day looking over
the district. Mr. McCaul will meet1
the excursionists at the end of the *
road, and conduct them to his prop j
erties, where he has been engaged
in doing devlopment work for a
number of years.
The excursion committee will I
make a canvass of the town during
the coming week for the purpose of j
ascertaining the names of those de
siring to make the trip, and appli
cation may be made to the com- j
mittee at any time, the sooner the
better.

BELGIUM CANT
ESTIMATE LOSS;
MAKING SERVEY
j BRUSSELS.—Thus far it has
j been impossible to estimate the ex
tent of damage caused in Belgium
i by the Germans or to fix, even ap
proxmately the amount of indemnity
j which Belgium will demand from
Germany.
I In the majority of the factories
which the Belgians were allowed to
'operate during German occupation,
the plant remains, but everywhere
all stocks of raw material have
been entirely removed,
j In the other factories, which the
Belgians were not allowed to oper
ate there was a systematic removal
of all the machinery which was dis
mantled and sent to Germany. The
names of the German manufacturers
to whom the machinery was shipped
have been ascertained.
Belgian industrial circles seem to
be divided whether to attempt to
recover the stolen machinery from
Germany, now necessarily worn, or
to buy new machinery abroad and to
make the Germans pay for it.
The Belgian coal fields in the
regions of Mons, Charleroi and
Liege were operated by the Ger
mans who used Belgian coal as cur
rency to obtain from Holland pro
visions, cattle and horses. Thus,
while the Belgian population suffer
ed from cold, coal rose in price to
I 400 or 500 francs a ton and Bel
’gians witnessed the spectacle of
workmen weakened by privations
forced to dray heavy carts loaded
with coal, taking the place of the
horses which the Germans had
stolen.
The industrial region of Charleroi
suffered severely at the hands of
the Germans who destroyed the ma
chines which they did not take away
and removed all material of which
they could not make use. A great
amount of work will be necessary
to clear up the wreckage and even
if the stolen machinery or its equiv-1
alent is obtained it will be impos
sible to resume production before
the middle of next year.
Nothing now remains of the es-!
tablishment Thy-le-Chateau, which
annually turned out about 200,000
tons of steel. Sixty coke furnaces,!
four blast furnaces, four 20-ton
converters and six sets of flattening
machines have been destroyed or
sent beyond the Rhine.
Some of the steam engines were
blown up and blast furnaces were
destroyed by cutting down the sup
porting columns. The damage there
amounts to several millions of
francs.
It would be easier to enumerate
what the Germans have left than
to describe the ruin they have
caused.
FIRST MEETING OF BRIDGE
CLUB HELD LAST NIGHT
The first meeting of the Friday
Bridge club, since its inception, was
held last night at the home of Mrs.
R. G. Southworth, on First and B
street.
Sixteen of the members were
present and indulged in their favor
ite game of auction bridge until
midnight.
Light refreshments were served
by the hostess during the course of
the games, and a very enjoyable
time was spent by the members.
The lady having high score is
accorded the honor of adopting a
French orphan with the funds col
lected by the club, and this honor
fell to Mrs. R. R. Myers.
The same procedure is to be
adopted in the Tuesday Bridge club,
the meeting place of which will be
announced next week.
FLU HITS NORTHERNERS
HARD IN THE STATES
In a letter received by a Fair
banksan recently, Frank Hyatt, who
is now in California, says that Fred
Haggren and F, H. Hamilton, both
well known Alaskans, had serious
attacks of the flu, but that both
men are now convalescing.
On the day he was writing the
letter, he says, the funeral of the
late Ed McAdam took place. Ed
Buccumbed to an attack of the flu.
