The Cache Creek Gold may prove to be
one of the Best and biggest Quartz
MINES IN ALASKA.
The property consists of nine quartz claims of 20 acres
each, or 180 acres, located at the head of Nugget Cfeek, Cache
Creek country, Susitna Mining District, Alaska.
The company owns over one mile of the Mother Lode ledge,
in the camp. This ledge shows in width from 30 to 100 feet
and can be easily traced for seven miles, and assays in gold
from a few dollars up, and into the thousands to the ton. Nug
gets are found in the quartz which are worth from 25 cents up
to as high as $5.00. The company also owns a mile in length
of another parallel ledge, one-half mile from the Mother Lode
that shows an average width of 30 feet. The rock on this ledge
pans from 20 cents and up, as high as $1.00 or more to the pan.
Some of the rich ore can be seen in the display window of the
Chamber of Commerce, Anchorage, Alaska.
As soon as the snow is gone, the ground will be thoroughly
prospected by practical mining men to ascertain the amount
of ore tonnage available for a milling plant; also the actual
value of the ore per ton, and the character of the ore treatment
required.
For a short time you may purchase Treasury Shares in the
Cache Creek Gold Mines (tnnpany at the ground floor price of
10 cents per share, 10 per cent discount for cash.
You may buy the shares on the installment plan, by paying
10 per cent down and 10 per cent monthly, for nine months.
Five hundred shares is the smallest allotment sold.
This may be your only and last chance to get in and get
some of the 10 cent shares, so don’t delay. Send in your order
at once.
YOURS FOR THE ASKING.
If you haven’t the cash to spare just now, write me a letter,
stating how many shares you wish to subscribe for, and what
time you think you will be in a position to pay for the stock in
full, and the shares will be reserved for you.
Should you wish to purchase the stock on the installment
plan, let me know how many shares you wish and what time
you think you will be in a position to make your first payment,
and the stock will be reserved for you.
Don’t delay if you feel like taking a chance with us. About
June 11 will leave for Nugget Creek to inspect the mining prop
erty, and will stay on the ground at least a month.
Orders for Cache Creek Gold Shares should be mailed not
later than May 20, in order to get the shares reserved and book
ed before I leave.

^CRUELTY TO
BELGIANS IS
FULLY SHOWN
J
—
WASHINGTON, I). C.—Details of
the methods used by the Germans in
forcing the Belgians to work for the
enemy of their country are revealed
in hitherto unpublished letters to the
government from an official of the
United States in Belgium, who spent
many months among the unfortunate
people of that country. They have
been given out by the state depart
ment.
That the Uhlans carrying out the
deportation order have resorted to
machine guns, to flogging anil to bru
tality of every sort; its inhabitants
perishing under the cruel German
rule, is the story of Belgium’s misery
for the past year.
Hatred, suspicion and intrigue are
I everywhere evident with the stricken
people of that unhappy land. A more
! revolting story of misrule of a captive
j people has never before been told.
These letters to the government give
j a history of Prussian misrule in Bel
; gium since last October.
They are the confidential reports
upon the situation there which have
informed the United States govern
ment of the truth of the situation.
I While this American official was in
Belgium, giving his service to the re
lief of the people, these reports could
not be made public, for that would
only have ended the aid which the
United States was trying to extend to
the Belgian people in their misery.
But now it is the purpose of the gov
ernment to make the whole truth
known.
Of the Germans’ explanation that
they deported only the unemployed
among the conquered people, this of
ficial says: “They needed skilled and
| active artisans and these men were
naturally still unemployed. The au
1 thorities did not, however, evidently
! dare to announce their real wishes."
I “Belgium at this moment,” says a
letter written in December, “is going
through a reign of terror. It is hard
to believe that the dark moments of
the French revolution were very much
worse than the conditions of which
we are now the witnesses. With
j each month that we remain the net is
I drawn tighter and tighter around the
population. The entire country is
: more or less one great internment
| camp. A series of trials for espion
age is being conducted in various
parts of the country—but above ev
erything else at the present moment
towers the outrage of the deporta
tions. Kven the Austrian representa
tive here had words of apology and
even blame for the policy and in de
fense could only refer to the alleged
i ill treatment of Germans in Russia.”
“President Wilson’s splendid pro
I test” against the deportations, the
writer says, “was of great moral val
ue. It is really pitiful to see how Bel
gians look to America in a crisis like
this,” he continues, “ . . . but the
deportations continue without any
apparent serious modifications in spite
of the protests of our government. .
“Various methods are employed to
force the men who refused to sign and
work. In Ghent, it is learned that
235 men perished from the effect of
the treatment or work. The men who
have returned are generally in an ex
hausted condition. It is supposed that
they are those who persisted in their
refusal to sign and work, or whose
physical condition could not with
stand the punishments inflicted on
them.”
The writer recalls the German
promise of liberal wages to those who
will sign, with permission to send
their earnings to their families in Bel
gium.
“Painstaking inquiries.” he adds,
have failed to elicit a single instance
in which such money has been receiv
ed from Germany.”

BIC. MONUMENT
FOR JEFF DAVIS
FAIRVIEW, Ky., April The
birthplace of Jefferson Davis on a
| farm near here is to be marked by a
great limestone obelisk, according to
plans which confederate veterans are
now trying to bring to completion.
A tract of 22 acres near Fairview,
which originally formed a part of the
farm upon which Jefferson Davis was
born was acquired several years ago
by Colonel A. S. Cunningham, of
Nashville, Tenn., publisher of the
"Confederate Veteran,” and General
Bennett H. Young, who was four
times elected commander-in-chief of
the United Confederate Veterans.
They raised about $20,000, convert
ing the tract into the Jefferson Davis
park, and it is upon a summit of this
park that it is proposed to erect the
monument. General George W. Lit
tlefield, of Austin, Texas, announced
that he will guarantee an amount suf
ficient to insure the completion of the
project if others would assume a
fair share, and General Julian S. Carr,
! of Durham, N. C., has agreed to as
sume a further large share of the ex
pense. In the meantime a campaign
for further funds is in progress, and
designs for the monument have been
prepared with the intention of begin
ning work on the foundation this!
spring.
The monument will be an obelisk of I
limestone and concrete 851 feet high,)
the tallest with the exception of the '
Washington monument of any other :
shaft of the kind in the world. The
base will be 48 feet square with a j
room 18 feet square in the interior
for the storing of relics. It is plan- i
ned to have the shaft completed some
time early in the coming autumn and
to dedicate it October 22, 1817.
The site of the monument is only
about 100 miles, as the crow flies,
from the site of the impressive Me
morial hall erected near Hogdenville,
Ky., over the cabin in which Abraham
Lincoln was born.

That pay has been lined up for ful
ly a mile on Kokomo creek and one of
its tributaries is the word received in
town from Fairbanks creek. The pay
streak has not been lined up continu
ously for that distance, but prospect
ing has demonstrated that pay dirt
lies in fully that much ground, ac
cording to the report.
Two outfits have been working on
Kokomo all winter. They are Brown
& Co. and the Wabana Mining com
pany. They have done considerable
prospecting work, having sunk a num
ber of holes, and have demonstrated
to tiieir complete satisfaction that
Kokomo creek is a comer in the min
ing game.
The ground varies in depth, but in
no place is bedrock deeper than 20
feet. It is therefore considered idea!
for a scraping or dredging -iroposi
tion. Some spots have been found
where the pay will run as high as
$1.50 to the square foot of bedrock.
Kokomo creek comes into the Chat
anika river on the left limit several
miles above the town of Chatanika.
