Houghton. the Marquette Mining jour
nal says editorially:
Mr.. Stevens was the kind Of a man
who made a marked impression on
other men. He was eccentric, unusual
and Individual to a degree, particularly
in his mental qualities. lie was. when
at his best, an admirable writer, his
clarity being remarkable and his style
easy and flowing. and he was a man
" unusual conversational powers. with
"a great liking for controversial discus

The Passing OF Mr.. Stevens.
The Marquette Chronicle says edi-
torlally:
In the death of Horace j. Stevens at
Houghton last night the upper pen
nsua has lost one Of its most brilliant
authorities on copper mining. TO say
nothing Of his ability in the wide field
of Journalism. Horace J. Stevens
was known wherever the word cop
per- is known. His hooks on the sub.
;ect of the red meal have come TO be
recognized as the worlds best. He
was an authority whose word was un-
disputed When Horace j. Stevens
vouched FOR the stability of mine or
it's management his friends felt they
we're taking no chance IN Investing in
the shares Of the corporation. He was
the soul Of integrity, a man honored
and respected and one whose untimely
death is genuinely mourned.
AS a newspaper publisher Mr.. Ste
vens was not much Of success lie
not only admitted IT, hut gloried in II.
AS a writer Of mining news Horace
j. Stevens had no peer. His writings
on Lake Superior and other copper
inines were eagerly sought and read
and many an investor has personally
thanked him for the advice contained
~ g.. 50 reviews.
The world can III afford Co lose a
man OF the callbre OF Horace J. Ste
vons Loyal and charitable his pass
ing Is mournod with that regret which
few men who pass into the great be-
yond receive. Il is genulne; It Is from
the heart.
