ALBAh|ANS FLEEING
IN FEAR Of GREEKS
TERROR CAUSED BY GREEK
CRUEIITIES IN BALKAN
WARS

NAPLES, Oct. 15.-Thousands of
Albanians are fleeing from their
homes in fear of the occupation of
their land by the Greeks, according
to the statements of refugees who
have reached this city by way of
Brindisi, on their way to the United
States. The territory where the
exodus is described as taking place
is mainly that of southeastern AL
bania, near Kortcha, where the
American missionary, Phineas B.
Kennedy resides, or Koritza, which
is at present under French military
control. The movement. however,
is said to be extending from the
Greek border as far as Elbassan.
Some weeks ago it was rumored
that the Greeks were to take pos
session of the country. and the re-
sultant terror of the Albanians is
ascribed by the refugees to their
vivid memory of Greek cruelties
during the Balkan wars.
The inhabitants r moving in
two main streams; one toward the
Italian port of Avlona, to the south
west, and the other northward to-
ward Durazzo.

The merchants, it is declared,
have closed their shops and fac
tories. and the richest have joined
the poor in the panic to escape. the
total number amounting to tens of
thousands. The American Red
Cross at Avlona has been appealed
to for shelter by many of the refu-
gees, many of whom implore Ameri-
can intervention in their land.

CONSOLIDATED
TO sink TO 300 FEET
SHOOTS ABOVE WATER LEVEL
HAVE Produced 659,s5S
IONS OF ORE


Prince Consolidated Mining and
Smelling company, operating the
Prince Consolidated mine at Phoebe.
has issued the following statement
of general mine conditions and the
plans of the company to resume
sinking of the 400-foot vertical
shaft as a result Of new o%rebodies
found through drilling:
/ take pleasure in informing you
that your board of directors at their
September meeting authorized the
management to esume sinking of
the new vertical shaft, already 400
feet deep, to reach the ore bodies
explored by the diamond drill oper-
ations below water level, and that
this work is now well under way.
The bottom of the shaft is 100 feet
above water level; the first ore zone
will be encountered at a depth of
400 feet below that level, making
in all 500 feet to go from the pres
ent bottom Of the shaft. 1t is ex-
pected that this work will be COM
pleted within the next five months.
provided no unexpected difficulties
occur.
1t will be seen from. the annual
report for 1918 that the first ore
zone or bed found by diamond drill
ing measured IL feet thick and con-
tanned an oxidized iron-manganese
ore assaying 25 ounces silver, $500
gold per ton; the second ore body
was encountered 400 feet deeper
and is ten feet thick, lying on the
contact of shale and underlying
quartzite: the ore is almost a clean
zinc sulphide. containing no lead or
silver, and when opened up should
produce ore better than 80 per cent
zinc of exceptional good quality, and
free from impurities.
The drill cores secured in cutting
through these beds at several differ
ent points show that the circulating
waters used in the diamond drilling
under pressure, had washed out
much of the soft or richer portion
of the ore, and it was only the hard
core brought up for assay. The
assays therefore are conservative
and under rather than over the
actual value of the ore.
The first. or silver-gold bed, has
a position that is approximately the
permanent or early water level Of
the district, which places 1t accur-
ately for a secondary enrichment by
the values in the descending waters
percolating through from the upper
ores.
The fissure veins that run
through the m~ineralized section Of
the Prince group. and from which
considerable high grade lead-silver
ore was extracted above the water
level (around 1922 go down strong
below water and give every indica-
ton of permanence and productive
ness. The first class ore produced
at that time from various chutes in
these fissures assayedS 1870
ounces silver, $4.20 gold, and 39.45
per cent lead; the second class as
sayed 1885 ounces silver, $3.4S
gold and 1875 per cent lead. Sill
yer was then around soc an
and lead $3.50 per hundred.
Early day mining in the Phoebe
district on the perth side of the hill
was in the quartzite fissures from
which millions of dollars we're pro-
duced. Owing to faulting and eros

the chief treasure of Sulgrave church. He received a grant of Sulgrave manor from Henry VIII, and on a pie turesque corner of his estate he car ried to completion that manor house which the American pilgrim now seeks with such affectionate interest. Part Iy, no doubt, this picturesque building embodies the shell of an old structure, but in the main 1t stands today as finally remodeled by it's most famous owner.-
 As at Sulgrave, so at Brington, it is in the village church that the memo rials of Washington's English ances- tors are to be seen in richest abun- dance. The most notable of these Is the long stone slab in the chancel floor, now partly hidden by pews, the sur face of which is carefully protected by a wooden cover. This is to the memory of that Lawrence Washing ton who was the uncle of the great presidents American ancestor. Here again is the Washington shield, but the family arms are impaled with those of the Butler family, one of whose members became Lawrence Washington's wife.

FAMOUS ES SWIFT RUNNER
Few Men, When Washington Was in His Prime, Could Successfully
 Compete With Him.

"As to running" said ParsOn Weems in bis book on George Washington, "the swift-footed Achilles could scarce ly have matched his speed. Egad, he ran wonderfully said my amia- ble and aged friend John Fitzhugh, Esq, who knew him well. We had nobody hereabouts who could come near him. There was young Langhorn Dade of Westmoreland, a clean-made, tight young fellow and a mighty swift runner, too; but, then, he was no match for George. Langy, indeed, did not like to give up, and would brag that sometimes he had brought George to a tie. But believe he was mistak- en, for have seen them run together many time, and George always beat

MARK OF TRUE GREATNEs
First Presidents Noble Humility Q
 of the Finest Attributes of
 His Character.

Great as Washington was, yet his breast brightly burned the light humility. One of the favorite p sages of Washington's farewell nl sage reads as follows:
 "Though in reviewing the incidel of my administration, am uncl scious of intentional error, am, nj ertheless, too sensible of my defet not to think 1t probable that l nj have committed many errors. VII ever they may be, I fervently bose the Almighty to avert or mitigate evil to which they may tend. l sll also carry with me the hope that I country will never cease to view tlt with indulgence and that after years of my life dedicated to its st ice with an upright zeal, the faults incompetent abilities will be conslgi to oblivion, as myself soon must bt the mansions of rest"

STUDY SUGAR-BEET INDUSTRY
Need for Increased Production Leads Department of Agriculture to
 Investigate.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 The urgent need for an increased production of sugar in the United States brought about by the war led specialists of the United States de- partment of agriculture to make a study in areas where sugar beets are now grown to determine factors that are favorable to the production of this much-needed crop. A report of the investigations has, just been published by the United States department of agriculture as bulletin 721. This bull letin discusses the soils and climate best suited for sugar beets, suitable farm equipment, methods of culture, diseases and insect enemies, farm la bor problems, and other phases that should be considered by the prospec- tive growers.
 Almost any fertile soil capable of producing crops of other kinds will, if properly handled, produce good sugar beets, according to the bulletin. More depends upon the physical condition of the soil and the way it is handled than upon the so-called kind and type of the soil. Extremely sandy soil or soil of decidedly gravelly type, how ever, is not usually satisfactory for this crop. Successful sugar-beet grow ing is confined to the temperate re- gions. Frequently the beets will pro- duce satisfactory tonnage of root in warmer areas, but for some reason they generally are not sufficiently rich in sugar to make them profitable in sugar making. Good drainage has an important bearing upon producing high yields.
 One of the serious problems on many of the sugar-beet farms is that of labor. There are periods when con- siderable labor is needed, as during the blocking, thinning, and harvesting seasons, and the problem of securing the necessary help at these times is one of the limiting factors in sugar. beet production. This problem is be- ing solved by organizing available la bor, by adjusting the farm work and by the development of labor-saving machinery.
