FORMALLY LAUNCHED.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

who attended the convention last

crs from Texas, New Mexico, Cali
fornia, and half dozen other States,
and was supported by the recreation
afforded in playing golf or tennis
swimming and hunting, and above
everything else, a climate, which they
stated was without an equal any
where.
There were IS men OF wealth in at
tendance, and they stepped from the
convention hall into the open to in
dulge in any OF the pastimes they
chose. Said one Texas banker: This
is one convention l have attended
that has proved remarkable I went
out OF the gathering in my shirt
sleeves, picked up shotgun and in
less than half an hour was back in
camp with bag OF fat quail, again
ready for business. Can you beat it?''
Others also were elated i'll recounting
the novelty OF doing business one
minute and the next being busy in the
field go1hng, playing tennis or taking
plunge in the warm water up the
trail only a short distance. The visit
ors were charmed with the combina-
ton Castle Hot Springs offers in a
splendid climate, plenty OF recreation
and its health-giving waters in any
temperature desired. Several OF the
visiting bankers have concluded to
remain.

CROSSCUT FROM LONG

ON PARALLEL VEIN OF
FIVE FEET OF ORE.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

According to well founded reports
from Crown King, another and far
more important strike than the one
made a short time ago on the Nelson
mines has been determined, in which
a fiye-foot body of ore was opened in
a parallel vein by crosscut driven
from the lower tunnel
The developing OF this ore body Is
also regarded by mining men as solv-
ing very interesting proposition and
one in which the magnitude OF the
property is thoroughly established.
The point selected for driving the
crosscut was near the face OF the long
tunnel that nad reached to 2.7SO feet.
and where the first large ore body was
cut into some weeks ago. Accord
ingly the great depth reached on the
shoot with that OF the tunnel level OF
three feet opened. precludes any pos

The Nelson dyke that cuts through

INDIANA READY FOR
CHANGE IN PARTIES

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. l3-There
never was an off wear in Indiana
like this one. The Republican State
Committee has been holding a series
OF meetings in various portions OF
the state and the attendance has been
such as to clog tabulating machine.
From ten TO twenty thousand men
have turned out at RushyiIle, Mobiles
vile. West Baden. indianapolis, East
Chicago, Tcrrc Haute and other com
munities. and the enthusiasm display
cd has not been equalled since 1888,
when Benjamin Harrison first head
ed the Republican ticket. In addi-
ton. a series of dollar banquet"
has been held and at each there has
been an attendance which crowded
the tables and taxed the kitchens
Republican leaders are more than
pleased with these results. because,
they say, the large crowds indicate
the tense interest that the people OF
the state are taking in political mat
tiers even thus far ahead OF the 1916
election They contend that it is a
sure indication that the Republicans
are alive and awake and ready for
the coming battle.
In addition to thc great crowds
that turn out for the meetings, anoth-
or feature of the situation that the
leaders point out as an indication OF
Republican optimism is the large
number OF candidates for state nom
nations. Ii there were no chance to
win there would DC no candidates,
but there is a contest on for every
Republican state nomination. There
are no contests for Democratic state
nominations.

STARVING BELGIANS

Dear Sir:

Prescott, Arizona, Nov. II, 1915.
Editor Journal-Miner:
Dear Sir:
The Stan
ford-Belgian Relief Committee has in
formed its local representative, Mrs.
w. D. Baker that the need in Bel
GUM the coming winter will be great
er than ever The only source through
which any outside supplies go into
the country is the Commission for
Relief in Belgium.
In view OF this persistent call upon
humanity. the Stanford Committee is
renewing its appeal to the Stanford
Alumni and all others who can in any
respect help in this worldwide effort
to tide crushed nation over a time
OF un-heard-of suffering.
\ certain reaction from the early
enthusiastic efforts has set in. People
are asking if Belgium still needs help.
and why England and Germany do
not fulfill their duty towards her.
They are rejecting that our own
home charity must not be allowed to
suffer-and have we enough for both?
The answer to these perfectly natur-
al questions is to be found in knowl-
edge OF what really is the situation in
Belgium and this may be found in A
pamphlet which contains notes OF 1
talk given bv Lou Henry Hoover in
October 1915. Food-tickcts which
have been in actual use in the bread
lines OF Belgium are to be had at a
