RECORD oAsrlNEAU PAYROLL

The biggest pay day in the history of the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company was June. 10. according to story in the Juneau Empire More than $13O,OOO was distributed by the cashiers to the $50 men employed. The checks went to every man employed by the company and were sent to the five camps. The next largest payroll was year ago when $125.000 was paid out for the months work. From estimates of of ficials of the company, it is believed the amount paid out will steadily in crease during the summer. as heavy construction work in all departments is under way. especially at Annex ant Carlson creeks, where power units arc being established. The doubling oI capacity of the reduction mills a Thane also will swell the grand tota paid in the Sheep Creek division dur ing the next three or four months

DECLARED GAS USED BY
 THE GERMANS IS POISON

PARIS.-Four United States cores pondents and two from other neutral countries, Holland and Switzerland, have just completed, at the invitation of the French government, an inspec- tion of the hospitals where the vic tins of German asphyxiating gases lie. The inquiry has proved to the impar- tial satisfaction of all six men that the gases used were absolute poison and that from inhalng a sufficient quantity of them men died as surely as if they
 The invitation was extended as soon as the official English and French in vestigators had concluded their ex- animation of the soldiers who had been subjected to this gas Some of the men survive and are still suffering from the effects of the gas in various hos pitals. Many, however, are dead. The attending physicians at the hospitals visited were instructed to give the full lest possible information regarding the history of each patient examined so that the results obtained by the cor respondents were quite complete and from thoroughly scientific sources.
 The first hospital visited was an i'm mense modern sanitarium for tubercu- lar consumption at zudcoote, on the coast north of Dunkirk It is capable of caring for 5000 patients, and has now been transformed into magni- ficent military hospital. Out of 75 vic tims of German gas who were sent to this hospital three died and 15 have re- covered sufficiently to be sent to more distant sanitariums for convalescents.
 The correspondents examined a score of the remainder. Some of them had arrived a few hours after being pois- oned. Prof. Ratheray. one of the most eminent physicians of Paris, described the cases. It was he who had per formed the autopsy over those who had died. The first ones to arrive at the
The Nome daily nugget., 1915-08-11

hospital had turned a violet tinge. They died the next day and an autopsy showed that they formerly had tuber- culdsis
 Another victim died two days after his arrival at the hospital. He, too had once had tuberculosis and the i'm mediate cause of death was tubercular pneumonia. Yet another subject, who had been in perfect physical health. Idied from pulmonary congestion caused by the gas.
 Prof. Ratheray said that exact Gg- ures are not vet available. He esti- mates, however, that among the French troops alone between 5000 and $500 men were affected and of this number it is no eXaggeration to say that 10 per cent died on the field of battle and that six per cent died in hospitals. The proportion among the Canadians was slightly less. Experiments were made with various gases on the men who recovered, and all of them agreed in saying that chloride had the same t; ste as the gas used by the Ger mans.
 Several of the victims were inter- viewed. All of them said that the ef- feet of the gas had been terrible and instantaneous. Many men were over come while stopping to pick up their haversacks before fleeing from the poisonous cloud. Most of them were unable to rise again, but some were able to stagger a few yards before succumbing entirely A few of these were dragged from the poisoned' zone by their stronger comrades.
 Those who escaped arrived at the hospitals eXpectorating blood They had collapsed utterly in most cases and for days after were rac1ied by terrible coughs. It was a curious fact that in many cases a fever developed four or five days later Then pneumonia de- veloped.

Correspondence OF. Associated Press i
LONDON, Feb. 6.-An authority on
the frozen meat trade is of the opinion
that up to the present .Germany's
meat supply has not been seriously
affected by the war, but as in all
the other beliigerent nations, economy
there in this respect will be neces-
sary. OF the general effects OF the
war on European meat supplies, he
says:
{ Sin France the hostile occupation
of considerable tracts of territory has
certainly tended to curtail the guam.

vanced more than has been the case

meat producers. On the other hand
France having removed import duties
and restrictions, has already import

has arranged for still larger imports
in the near future. This change OF
policy is. SO marked, and its effect
likely to be so far-reaching. that II

meat to protect her farmers. Now

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The
growth of the peach-growing industry
has developed so rapidly that, rec

Virginia ranks high among the peach
