the unenviable record of leading the

any. Geologists and engineers will be
here, this week to make careful sur
veys of the vein from every angle, andj
at various depths, and will reveiew
the assayers report. If they speak the
word, it is understood that the North
Carolina Flux Company will immed
iately begin active mining operations.
No one knows, of course, what the
advice of the geologists and engineers
will be; but it is understood, by those
who have kept in touch with the sit
uation at the property, that the ore
body, both as to size and class, will(
come full up to the expectations of
the leasing company, at the time its;
officials closed negotiations for the
property. The Journal has it on most
excellent authority, that this is true.
Potato Hill Sage To

The late Dr. Frank Crane once des

Sage of Potato Hill". This was a

Born in Treaty, Ind., in 1854, Ed
Howe has been in and around print
ing offices since the age of 12,i and
has always lived in small towns. At
12 he was already an accomplished
typesetter, and after several news
paper jobs and ventures he became
e<ttor and proprietor of the Atchison
Globe, Atchison, Kansas, In 1877, and
he\ made it the most famous weekly
newspaper in tie United States by
filling iip pages with his clever ob
servations on life. He retired over
thirty years later, arter becoming
world famous and writing several im
portant books, among them " The
Story of a Country Towgi'j ,
/' ?& Howe has the most thorou^h in
sight into small town American life
of any present day writer. His work
has a deep human appeal, and is pre
sented in a simple, homely style ? his
articles have all the qualities of good
conversation between plain people.
"Plain People," by the way, is what
he named his autobiography.
It was Ed Howe who said "It is
better to be safe than sorry." In fact
many of his epigrams have become
part of our national inheritance.
He is the leading exponent of
country journalism ? though he has
had 'many offers, he has never con
sented to work in a) city newspaper
office. His life has been devoted to
Atchison, Kan., his chief interest, he
has somehow found his way into the
heart of the entire world and is
known wherever English is read orj
spoken. , . ?
