LEVY
OF TAX FOR MAINTENANCE OF
CARNEGIE LIBRARY Or
DERED BY BOARD.
County Commissioners Vote to Lay
a Tax of Half a Mill and Accept
the Offer of the Great Ironmas-
ter-Messrs. johnson and Jones
Vote for and Mr.. CorthelI Against.

The board of county commissioners
this morning, by a vote of two to one
decided to accept the offer of Andrew
Carnegie to give $20,O 900 for a library
building here. and to levy a tax of hall
a mile to provide for its maintenance
Official notification of the action OF
the board was communicated to Mr.
Crumrine. one of the gentlemen tC
whom the offer IA made, and he in
turn will notify Mr.. Carnegie. Until he
has been heard from, nothing more
will have to be done in a financial way
to secure the donation.
The votes for the levy and accept.
ance were cast by Mr.. Johnson, who
made the motion, and by Mr.. Jones,
who seconded it. Mr.. Corthell voted
no..
Mr.. Corthell moved to amend the
motion so as to provide for a system
of circulating libraries to reach each
school district, but this was not &C.
cepted by the majority of the mem
bers. The present system of ~circulat.
ing libraries, it is believed, will be
continued.
The matter of a site Is in allegiance.
The trustees of the Methodist church
understood to favor selling a
part Of their quarter block at Fifth
and Thornburgh streets to the library,
but this does not meet general favor.
as the lot is not large enough to &C.
commodate both the church and the
library and leave room for a parsonage
to be built later. The gentlemen hav-
ing the library matter in hand are not
asleep. and the selection of a site and
the providing Of a purchase fund will
be taken care of.
The Carnegie library seems an as.
sured fact.

DRILLING
BEGUN IN THE SALT WELLS FIELD
MONDAY MORNING az sELGo
COMPANY.
Water Came Down at Midnight and
Half an Hour Later Plans Were on
Foot for Starting Search for Oil In
That FieId-Mr. Walter Going to
Europe Soon.

Charles Walter, resident director of
the Belgo-American Drilling trust,
started the drill at the Salt Wells camp,
near Rock Springs, Monday morning,
and during the first sixty seconds of
the operation Of the machinery the
drill had penetrated three inches of
rock. The Salt Wells drill is of English
make, and Mr.. Walter declares that it
will be able to show the American out
fit, operated by Mr.. Harmon of Denver
in a nearby field, a very pretty pair Of
heels in the international ace for the
Gil sands believed to lie just under the
drill points.
Mr.. Walter had a long letter this
morning from the London office of the
company, notifying him that he had
been granted a t~hirty-days leave Of
absence and transportation to London,
and he said he would leave for England
as soon as a gentleman now on his way
from Paris could reach Laramie and
be placed in charge of the work. He
expected to be able to leave for New
York in a few days and hoped to re-
turn to Laramie by the first of May.
The water in the stream upon which
the Waldauer plant is situated began
to run Sunday night, shortly before
midnight, and as soon as the big reser-
voir began to fill preparations were
made to start the drill. Everything
was in readiness early Monday morn
ing, and MI. Walter was the first to ap-
ply the power that started the drill to-
ward the center OF the earth. The
machinery worked to perfection, the
throb OF the engine and the thud Of the
drill being the signal for a lusty British
cheer as the men saw the actual frui-
ton Of their hopes Of beginning work.
From now on. barring accidents, the
drill will be-kept pounding the stone
and going deeper and deeper toward
the wealth everybody hopes will be
found underneath the surface.
Mr.. Walter says his stay in this alti-
tude has been rather severe upon his
constitution, but he hopes a months
visit to the old country and absolute
rest wip put him on his feet again.

Much Inventive Genius Employed in

out Of sight when an inventive genius
built one out of a barrel stave, for his
invention was extensively copied. The

to which was nailed ~twelve-inch seat.
