Our Public Library.

| About five years ago this fall some
members of the Monday club of Pres
colt started an agitation for a public
| library, and knowing the generosity
which Andrew Carnegie has displayed
for several years in establishing and
assisting to establish public libraries
all over the world, application was
made by these ladies to him for assist
ance in that line in this city The
application was met with the request
that the ladies should raise $4,000 by
subscription when he would donate
$4,000 more. The ladies went at the
matter with all their hearts and soon
had the $1,000 in the bank when Mr..
Csrnegie's $4,000 was given as prom
Used. Among the ladies who worked
so zeaIously for this good cause we're
Mrs. E. B. Gage and Mrs Henry
Goldwater and they were ably assisted
by quite a number of other ladies
here, but to the two above mentioned
ladies the greater portion of the bur-
den of raising the money fell.
After the money had been raised the
problem of securing a suitable loca-
tion for the building caused tenn
porary delay in the matter until the
great fire swept nearly the entire bus
mess portion Of the city away. The
matter was then allowed to lay for
some time as it seemed impossible to
do anything to advantage while the
city was being rebuilt, but the beauti-
full lot on the south west corner of
Marina and Gurley streets was finally
secured through the generosity of F.
NJ. Murphy and the work of building
the new library was begun. Last
night the library was thrown open to
the publiC nd a donation of books
was calley Tor bringing forth the
handsome number of 66 splendid vol
umes of the best books of the day.
The books and magazines which
have been in use at the free reading
room under the Bank of Arizona have
been added to the public library
which gives it splendid start for a
valuable collection of books. The d.
rectors of the library will at once
order about 500 volumes of the latest
and best books and standing invita-
ton is extended to the public for do
nations of good books and magazines.
The good that an institution like
this will do to the city is hardly cal
culable, and those who have had the
work Of bringing the library through
all its various stages to its present
splendid realization are certainly
Untitled to great credit, and the build
ng and library will stand for many
gears as monument to their gener-
osity and labors.
Harry Brisley today turned over to
the Prescott public library total of
fifty volumes of which he had been
the custodian they having been purch-
ased at considerable expense by a
number of our citizens from Gov. +.
A. Tritle. The governor had collected
them during a number of years nearly
all being rare old books and relating
of early explorations in the southwest
ern part of this country.

Eureka, Nov. 3.-Four lads stole

night the tug Peerless and put to sea.
This morning, the Tug Ranger was
sent in pursuit of the missing craft
and when it was sighted it was seen

the boys were taken off, and the burn

the hull remained though. The boys

the machinery of the vessel they fired
up so heavily that they burned out
the boiler and set fire to the vessel.

The building of which the above
cut is representation covers an area
of nine acres, being $50 long by 525
feet wide, and is sixty feet high to
the cornice. 1t was designed by
Theodore Link. Its architecture is
new and highly attractive. The light
conditions and floor space are favor
able for the best exhibition purposes.
The building will cost $500, 600.
The design of this splendid build

proportions and arrangement are pc
culiarly we'll adapted for an effective
display of exhibits. There are num-

The Bunker Hill Mining company
made an important discovery yester-
day in their shaft. Foreman Hatton
is in town today and reports that he
bad broken through what has hereto
fore been considered the hanging wall
of the shaft and had encountered good
ore on the other side of the supposed
haDging wall, which proved to. be only
few inches thick. The ledge instead
of being twenty seven feet wide as
supposed is nearer forty feet wide al
though the new addition to it has not
yet been cross cutted to the real hang
ing wall. The newly discovered ore
in the shaft is in blue and white
quartz and consists of iron pryites
and copper sulphides. This new dis
covery is quite important.

1t does not appear to be generally
known, but nevertheless, it is fact
that there is scarcely mine or min
ing claim between the town of Cerbat
on the south aud Mineral Park on the
north, that does not carry percent
age of copper. Many of these mining
claims carry such high values in cop
per and gold that it is surprising that
they are lying idle. Samples taken
from several claims in the Cerbat
country have given as high as twenty
per cent copper and ten to twenty
ounces gold to the ton. OF course
in many of the mines the copper
values have been leached out of the
surface ores, but all that is needed is
a small amount of work to prove them
up paying propositions. - Mohave

Lon Hall, who is in town today
from Groom Creek, says that he has
the preliminary work at the Alma
group of mines about completed, and
will put force of men at work this
week in the active development of the
property. Mr.. Hall has been engaged
for the past ten days in clearing out
the shaft, Strengthening up the track
and putting the mine in proper con-
dition for working. A company OF
which Mr.. Mr.. Halls brother, W. A.
Hall, is president, purchased this
property recently from the Groom
Creek Mining company. The mine
adjoins the Home Run mine now own
ed by Douglas, Lacey i Co., former
ly known as the Moynahan property.
There is shaft 300 feet on it at pres
ent, and from the bottom of the shaft
there is drift so feet long. At the
200 foot level there is a drift from
the shaft $50 feet south and another
one $50 feet north, the shaft and all
the drifts being in good ore. The
north shaft at the 200 foot level will
be continued for a distance of about
80 feet further, and an upraise will
be made to connect it with another
shaft at that point. Mr.. Hall will
also sink the 800 foot shaft at least
100 feet deeper. He says that they
propose to thoroughly develop the
mine. The ore from the surface to a
depth of go feet is oxidized. At the
latter depth, they encountered sui
phide ores, but of richer quality.
The property has had splendid repu-
tation, and is right in the center of a
bunch of mines which are all showing
up we'll. The famous property known
as the Kelly property, which is now
being worked by the Braganza COM
pany, lies on one side of the property,
and that other equally famous pro-
Queer, the Monte Christie is only a
short distance away. Mr.. Hall says
that he will push work in the devel-
opment OF the Alma just as rapidly as
possible.
