According to reports of the U. S.
Geological Survey, issued July /, the
value of zinc and lead ore produced
in this district during 1915 was
$S01,754 as against $6l,2l5 in 1914.
The report states that this is the
largest proportionate increase shown
by any central state, producing zinc
ore, and concludes that development
work indicates a continued increase
of production in this district for
1916. The total tonnage reported for
1915 was: Jack, COG tons; carbonate,
1926 tons; lead, 35 tons. The ton
mage for the first half of 1916 will
probably exceed that Of all last year

New prospecting on higher level
than the old working at the Morning
Star mine has disclosed a second ore
bearing break further back in the hill
from which they are taking fine ore.
A big force of hands was at Buffalo
last week rebuilding the ore dock on
the siding. The increasing number of
mines that are shipping from that
place make increasing storage facili'
ties necessary.

Man on the Street.

Late last night I dropped into a
Lunch Room to get cup of coffee,
A roughly clad fellow in the chair
next to me chuckled. l looked over
his shoulder to see what had amused
him. He was reading one of Walt
Mason's prose poems in The Star.
Of course you know Walt Mason.
His stuff appears daily in, approx
mately five hundred newspapers. His
little pieces are nearly always op-
timistic in tone; they are never Bit
ter. They never hammer although
sometimes they gently ridicule. He
is, in fact, the Apostle of the Joy of
Living and he never rises above the
understanding of the most humble
folk.
/ haven't see or spoken to Walt for
nearly eight years. I close my eyes
for moment and play the memory
game and See him again. He is a
short, fat, stubby sort of chap with
an enormous head thickly thatched
with grep hair; and he's deaf as a

LOOKING TOWARD ALEXANDRIA

Mr.. L. L. Whitestone, who has
lust returned from a business trip
which took him to all the most I'M
portant trade centers in Virginia
within a radius Of one hundred miles
of Alexandria, reports a very pro-
fitable return for his time and says
that the people in the sections nc
visited are coming to realise that
they can get very much quicker ser
vice here than from Washington.
Mr.. Whitestone is one of the meal-
bers of the firm doing, business is
Whitestone and Clark and is ct
gagged in handling produce at whollS
sale. The other members Of the firm;
are R. P. Whitestone and R. Dan
Clarke. They opened their establish
ment at the corner of King ana Lee
streets about six months ago and have
been successful from the start. They
were the first strictly wholesale pro-
duce dealers, to open an establish
ment here in recent years.
AS Mr.. Whitestone says the firm
does business both going and com
ing They buy the produce Of the
farmers handling it either On: COM
mission or buying it outright, and
they sell fruit and such seaspnable
vegetables as the surrounding cean-
try does not provide to the towns in
which the farmers do their cwn shop
ping.

Emporia is not big as Alexandria
but it has two great men in it and
a great-little newspaper. White, you
remember, wrote ga Certain Rich
Man. and other big books. He read
a part of the MSS. of "a Ger
tain Rich Man" to me as we sat
before log fire, in his worshop, on
the third floor of his frame house,
one night. Mrs. White was away
visiting in Topeka and White and !,
had undressed The two kids ant: p:l;
them to bed after dinner which we
had largely cooked ourselves before
we commenced the reading. When
the book came out and proved so sue
cessful / remembered how little
White thought Of it and how he was
tempted to throw it amid the embers
of the fire when We went to bed a
long, long time after midnight.
White is short as Walt and much
fatter, and has, if there's any Of 1t
left, red hair. Everybody in Emporia
calls him BILL He likes it. If Bill
and Walt were to walk down King
street this afternoon and you were
to meet them you wouldn't look at
them twice. They're very common
place looking chaps who never both
er about having their pants creased
but what an influence each, in his
own way, has upon the thought of the
common people of America.
Walt Mason was born in Canada
but gravitated to the middle--West
as a journeyman printer. For many
years he fought booze-hard. Bill
White helped him to conquer. Walt
has turned his evil experience to a
good use; and when man is strong
enough to do that he becomes
power. Witness Billy Sunday, John
B. Cough and thousands Of other
men whom it is possible to anne.
A mans potentiality for evil is his
potentiality for good. As 1 said, a
day or two ago, the pendulum swings
as far one way as it does the other
AS long as a man continues to
breathe the man-spark fickers in
him. Let US never give up hope that
the fellow who is down-and-out will
some day start travelling upward.
iAnd lets do all we humanity can to
help him to do so. If there's big
ger task than the salvage of a hu-
man soul please drop in and tell
me what it is.
