Plans for Feeding Belgians.

"Through the summer other means
of feeding the Belgians than by phi
Ia anthropy were arranged and there was
no campaign for food by the commits
sion in the autumn. There are two
large campaigns for clothes for the
Belgians now being carried on by large
national organizations of men and
women who are helping individually in
every state of the Union. SO as the
feld for relief operations narrowed it
seemed to women's organization
that there was danger of duplication
and overlapping in the work to be ac
complished.
AFTER many meetings and full dis
cusson of the subject involved. our
board voted to dissolve, leaving the
field to the men, and it was decided to
take up as our next work the problem
Of national preparedness from the
woman's angle. The women's section
of the movement of national prepared
ness is the direct outcome of this de-
cison. We have kept the same board,
which is comprised of the following
women: Mrs. Lindon Bates, chairman:
Miss Maude Wetmore. vice chairman;

EARLY DAY MINE SCENE
 COMES BACK AGAIN
(From Sundays Daily.)

Arrivals yesterday from the camp Of the Silver Belt Consolidated near Humboldt reported the new hoist as having been installed and in action. Sinking the main shaft goes ahead, and not until the 200-foot level is reached will drifting begin. w. l.. Paige, the general manager, states that the 5O0-foot level is the objective. The new shaft is now down about 8 feet, and a fair valuation of valuations shows that in a 32-inch pay streak 60 ounces in silver and over 7 per cent in lead are carried, in addition to a gold content that will run to over s 10 the ton. The Assure being worked had never in past years been pros pccted ,and from exploration given recently it is now believed the moth CT lode is being opened.

w. H. Dougherty and Thomas Ar mold, miners in the city from the Lit tie Jessie camp in Chaparral, speak in favorable terms of underground conditions since unwatering has reached to the 4OO-foot level, and in their opinion the property has suffi- cient ore tonnage exposed of high grade gold ore to assure a successful proposition. The starting up of the air compressor to drive drills took place on Friday, which is the first move made in over 20 years to begin practical development. During mine work the lower levels to the bottom of the 6+0-foot level will be unwater- ed, when a general system of explo- ration is to be inauguratcd The re- viving of the property is under the superintendency of w. II. Jones.

MAN OF 80 IS AS SPRY AS A
 YOUTH

SPOKANE, Nov. 7-At the age of so Daniel Chase Corbin, a pioneer of Spokane, is still president of rail- road company and active head of a number of large enterprises. He is hailed as the greatest railroad builder in the Pacific Northwest.
 Every day finds MT. Corbin at his offices in the Old National Bank building, and it is probable few men of any age dispose of more business details than he.
 On his S0th birthday recently an in terviewer brought up the subject of retirement Let's not say anything about the future" he replied. Man proposes, you know, and God dis poses. But there is a great deal of routine work that I am doing now which I feel that others could take care of, and 1t may be that I shall try pretty soon to indulge myself to that extent"
 Mir. Corbin's days work in the presidents office of the Spokane 1n- ternational railway is today as unre- hitting and exacting as that of the gOuHSCl HIGH uiiutI iilll, NltH llC added burden of responsibility.
 His work of helping to build up the Spokane country began in 1886, when he established a rail and boat line to market the newly discovered ores of the Occur d'Alene mining dis trict. Two years later he built the Spokane Falls & Northern railway north to the international boundary, which he later extended to Nelson, B. C. He also built the Red Noun tain railway to market the ores from B. C. Still later he extend ed the s. F. & N. to other British Columbia mining camps. The next and greatest of his achievements was the building in 1905 of the Spokane International to connect with the Canadian Pacific and Soo systems at Mir. Corbin is still presi- dent of this railroad and its branch lines.
 His activities also include the es- of large industries in the coal fields, in irrigated lands and in the beet sugar business.

Poisonous Spring
 Baffles Experts

ALBUQUERQUE, Nov. 7. - The discovery of a poisonous spring, which appears to be poisonous only part of the time, and whose poisonous prin- ciple is of such an obscure nature as to baffle even the experts of the Ma tional Bureau of Chemistry, is an nounced by forest officers here. The spring is located on the Canjilon dis trict of the Carson national forest.
 Every once in while bunch of livestock died after watering at this spring. The rest of the time the wat CT seems harmless. With view to running down the cause of the trouble and devising a remedy, the local for est ranger sent samples of the water to the government chemists. Analysis shows strikingly large amount of nitrate and a long list of other salts; also many poisons, but in such minute quantities as to seem negligible. Do these substances periodically form some deadly combination? This is the question which puzzles the eX- perts The next move, according to the district forester here, is a study of symptoms of the poisoned animals. By this means 1t is hoped to throw some light on the present enigma.

RANGE HOLDINGS OF
 C. E. BURTON ENLARGED

Arriving yesterday from Ash Fork, Chas E. Burton announced that he had closed a deal for the ranch and range holdings of Joseph Rambeaud, in which the consideration would run close to S40,000 The livestock fea- ture of this large transaction covers sheep, and their merging with other interests of the buyer will give him prominent rating as one of the biggest owners of this character in the State, as we'll will his land holdings give him large area in which some of the most desirable range country in the north is included.
 Mir. Burton states this last deal was prompted by exceptional range con ditions prevailing this Fall, in which the above region was in better shape than had been known for many years. He is accompanied on the trip to the city by his wife, who is to remain for a few days visiting with friends.

DIAMOND DRILL FOR THE J. '.
 JUNIOR

Under a contract recently signed the F. ]. Longyear Company, of Minneapolis, guarantees to have a diamond drill on the United Verde Junior property of the United Verde Consolidated Copper Company within two weeks. The drill has already been shipped from Chicago.
 The contract calls for 20,0O0 feet of drilling on the United Verde Junior and Mahurin groups, both of which are owned by the Consolidated. The outfit now on the way has capacity of 2,000 feet. As soon as it is deliv- cred the work will go forward as rap idly as men and money can push it, and the stockholders of the Consoli- dated will soon know what underlies the promising surface showing over both properties.

MIDNIGHT TEST HITS
 BONANZA SILVER ORE
(From Tuesdays Daily)

According to reports by arrivals yesterday from Groom creek, the Midnight Test, under operation by R. W. Merrill, of San Francisco, is mak- ing remarkable showing, a four-inch streak of silver orc showing values of 400 ounces to the ton being opened in the south level at a depth of 200 feet in old workings.
 Exploration had been going on at that point since unwatering had per mitted exploration, and those miners convcrsant with the situation from former employment were not sur prised over the bonanza ore condition being in evidence. The mine is still going through the unwatering pro- cess, and when the deepest point on the 440-foot level Is reached, addi- tional surprises are anticipated in large bodies of good grade of gold silver ore being encountered.
 Mir. Merrill is very much clatcd over the showing and states representa- tions made by the former owners arc verified as the work of reviving pro, grcsses. The mine is expected to be unwatcred within two weeks, when extensive development is to be prose cutcd

(From Saturdays Daily.)

With the arrival yesterday of R. s. Edgar, of New York City, formal an nouncement was made of the organi- zation of the Golden Belt Mining Co.,, which has taken over the old Zika mines on Turkey creek, about two miles below the railroad station. Lon D. Hall, also figures in this transac- ton, and it was through his efforts the deal was closed.
 The history of the property dates back to 1873, when it was first located by George Zika, its product being treated by an arastra, in which only the higher grade ores were mined The values are principally gold. For many years the property was operat- ed under the leasing system and those interested made many large clean-ups Mir Edgar stated yesterday there will be immediate action taken to get the property in shape for production, and today he will take force of miners to the camp. Before the deal was clos ed sample tests were made of the ore content, to ascertain the proper meth cd of treatment, and 3 cyanide plant was decided upon. Plans for this type of mill are now being drawn by w. w. Elliott, and as soon as this feature is fully determined the neces- sary machinery will be installed.

Miners in the city yesterday from Crook canyon reported that strike had been made recently in the Pro- moter mine, owned by B. F. Peters and C. E. Warren, and samples ex- hibited of wire gold quartz attracted very much comment for the big val ues carried.

The owners are withholding publicity, however, saying that for the present they pre- fer to thoroughly open the high grade shoot to ascertain absolute conditions. The tunnel is to be driven on the vein to reach greater depth, or to the sul- phide zone, when the character of re- duction works will be decided.
 The Promoter has a good record from early operations and has had quite tonnage treated at a mill near by. It is also reported the owners had refused to enter into negotiations on deal until certain explorations had been accomplished, and the work is now energetically under headway

SPOKANE, Nov. 7-Amazing re- suits showing the thrift of the stu dents of the North Central High school in earning money during the Summer months are revealed in the statistical report completed today by Miss Ida May Wilson, head of the vo- cational department at one of the two Spokane High school.
 Sixty-hve per cent of the boys en- rolled in the High school worked dur ing the Summer. They earned a total of S28,83590. Twelve per cent of the girls worked earning a total of S4,2H.45. The total earned during the vacation period by both boys and girls is S33,0S3.35. The report brings out strikingly the lesser earning pow CT of the girls as compared with the boys. The senior A girls during the Summer averaged only S5050 in com parison with the average of Sl02 66 by the boys of the same class. The average earned by the girls gradually decreases by classes from the stand ard set by the senior A girls. The freshmen B girls hold the lowest av- craze, each worker earning during the Summer on an average of only S248l. The average earnings of all the girls and all the boys was S6462, while the average earning power of the boys was S2.S2 and of the girls s3662.
