Cities That Are
Rich In Books

In New York city is the oldest IL
brary in III new world. 1t is hide
away in University place, and few of
the generality of New Workers know
of its existence. The library was start
ed in 1900 by Richard. earl of Bella
mont. who had been appointed in 1898
governor of New York. Massachusetts,
and New Hampshire. In those days
New York was a thriving little place
of 500 Inhabitants. $50 of whom were
negro slaves.
The British governor took consider
able interest in the small town. and
when he had a new city IA built at
the corner of Wall and Broad streets
upon the site where 20 years later
George Washington took the oath as
the first president of the United States
the little library was given a place in
that structure.

a library for the benefit of foreign
lands" The trustees of his estate
thought New York was just the place
for the collection. and in due time the
books arrived and were installed in
the little library.
In 1854 the library had grown to the

N HIS TIME GEORGE HEARST WAS A PRosPECTOR AND
HE STRUCK 1T RICH. BUT HE HAD HIS SHARE in ALL
THE KINDS OF LUCK THAT ARE in THE LOT OF MOST

i'll as well as the good that are in the lot OF the
typical prospector. When he died words OF sin
cerest regret were spoken in this community, He
is pleasantly remembered, and the STANDARD re-
calls no act of. generosity or of benevolence in this
locality that has evoked kinder mention or express
sions of warmer appreciation than the one with
which Mrs. Hearst favors the city of Anaconda in
the gift to it of the Hearst Free Library.
Indeed, the value of Mrs. Hearsts gift to this
city has already been tested the handsome build
ing that is now formally opened is the home for a
free library which was established here three years
ago by Mrs. Hearst and which. hitherto, has been
the tenant of temporary quarters. Often the
STANDARD has been glad to notice how large
the patronage of this library is. 1t is generously
supplied with current literature in the way of news
papers, weekly publications, magazines and quar-
terlies, and it has been noticeable that the num-
Der of those who visit the reading rooms has been,
for a city of Anacondas size, surprisingly large-it
is a fact that the number of patrons is greater than
had been anticipated and that there was need OF
more spacious quarters for the accommodation OF
those who wish to profit by the reading OF current
literature. Who shall attempt to measure the
good which already has passed to the credit OF this
splendid gift I? In the same way, the books COM
posing the circulating library have been making
their busy round in hundreds of homes in this city.
The collection that started out with a few hundred
volumes three years ago is a total now of several
thousand books which surely have not lacked
readers. During its short lifetime the library had
fairly outgrown its temporary quarters. In its
new home it has ample room and the tasteful sur
roundings of the place are an added attraction.

influence for good, and they help to make the free
library a pleasant place.
Thus Anaconda has a generous share in Mrs.
Hearst's bestowals which include magnificent gifts
of money to the University of California to edu-
cational institutions of high rank at the national
capital to training schools for boys and industrial
schools for girls to the library at Lead City,
South Dakota to successful kindergarten work
to worthy institutions that take upon themselves
the care of the sick, the aged, the needy. Toward
the building of the Phoebe Hearst school at Wash
ington, Mrs. Hearsts contribution was a muniicent
gift of money. Thus, in sums that run into the
millions, the wealth which Mrs. Hearst possesses
is twice blessed. AS for the people of Anaconda,
they warmly appreciate the splendid gift of this
free library. They are deeply grateful for it; they
are mindful always of the bene6cent influence it
exerts upon the community; they are proud of the
handsome home in which the library is lodged;
their reverent hope is that blessings may abide
with the generous giver and with her manifold
good deeds.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1898-06-12

George Hearst was one of the four men who, in
1880, bought the Anaconda mine for a song. he
was a man past middle life at the time. In his
western experience he had been through his full
share of the ups and downs Of life in mining camps.
Not so very many years before work began on the
Anaconda purchase, there was nothing in the way
of a mining property that he could have bought at
any price-so adverse had Fortune been in its deal
ings with him in his time, he had often guessed
it wrong. He joined in the rush to Nevada, after
the Comstock, and while the Ophir ultimately
yielded him princely returns, success did not come
until Mr.. Hearst had been through an experience
which apparently left him penniless. Yet there
was no doubt about Mr.. Hearst's good judgment
respecting mines. That seems to be a sort of intui-
tion with some men-Mr. Hearst had the knack of
reaching correct conclusions as to the merit OF a
good proportion among the mining properties that
came under his notice. Of course, he often guessed
it wrong, but he hit it right in so many notable in
stances that his average" gave him rank as one of
the Vests conspicuously successful miners-when
he died, he had a splendid estate to show for it.
About the time of the Anaconda purchase, Mr..
Hearst was the owner of a good interest in Utah's
famous Ontario, a property which never stopped
yielding until it had handed out thirteen or four
teen millions to. its owners. He had also become
interested at that time in the Black Hills proper
ties which, to this day, are a princely possession.
He had been fortunate, too, in California. With
the Anaconda mine, however-the original purchase
in the group that now makes up the Anaconda
properties-Mr. Hearst had, first and last, next to
nothing to do, except in ownership He did not
prospect " it. The property was held by the four
men who were its owners at the time when real de-

velopment began until the concern was stocked.
They bought on the recommendation of Mr.. Daily.
and by him the mine was developed. The friend
ship between Mr. Hearst and Mr.. DAILY was close,
cordial and lifelong. Occasionally Mr.. Hearst saw
the Anaconda mine, but his visits were rare. Yet
he had always taken a warm personal interest in
the property, and he had the pleasure of seeing it
gradually reach the point where his share in it was
worth Millions good many millions, as the event
proved when, after the death Of MI. Hearst. the
entire holdings of his estate in the Anaconda prop
erty were Sold.
Rare as Mr.. Hearst's visits were to this region,
it came about. somehow, that, on the part of the
local public, the friendliest feeling was entertained
respecting him. Butte knew him as a miner and
a prospector of undoubted ability, and that fact
was a hearty accommodation to their good will.
But Butte also knew that, in the enjoyment of
wealth and Of high station in public life, Mr..
Hearst was the same plain, everyday. generous
hearted. unassuming man he had been when he
packed his blankets and shared with his fellows the

RCANAAN, CONN. THURSDAY MARCH

Since the Maine disaster there has been hush of anxious suspense about the place. Old residents in that vicini- ty who can remember the rush orders that were given when Fort Sumter was fired upon, state that the conditions there now are the same as at that time. officers will not say anything.
 It was learned at the gun factory yes- terday that 12 mortars were boxed and ready for shipment as soon as cars ar rive to convey them to their destina- tion-Sandy Hook. It is understood that part of the shipment will be made at once.
 Twenty machinists, whose names ap- pear on the eligible civil service list, were notified Saturday by the secretary of the local civil service board to re- port at the gun shop this morning ready to go to work. It is the inten- ton of the authorities to put the men at work on parts of rifles which are in a fair way to completion.
 Master Mechanic Alfred Christianson, who is considered an expert on the building of rifles of large caliber and who has superintended the manufacture of rifles at the arsenal for the past eight years, will leave today ostensibly for Washington at the orders of the war department, but in reality for the forts and coast defenses where the guns which have been sent from the WatervIiet arsenal are located. He will make a thorough examination of the condition of the huge pieces of ord nance.
 Orders have been sent by the ord- nance department at Washington to the Bethlehem Steel company, at Beth lehem, Pa., to forward forgings to the gun factory as soon as possible. in or der that work on the rifles which are at present under course of construction will not be retarded.
