THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY
Mass Meeting of Citizens Called
to Meet April }.

a mass meeting is to be held in this
city at the Opera house ON April 3,
for the purpose of guaranteeing the
support of a public library in view
of prospective donation from An
drew Carnegie. Through the efforts
of the Woman's club an assurance
has been received that the gift will
be forthcoming if the necessary pro-
visions for the support of the library
are guaranteed by the citizens. Mr..
Carnegie endows many libraries but
he takes strict precautions against
wasting any money in so doing.
When he makes a donation he wants
assurance that it will be a permanent
benefit. He has regular plans and
systems Of giving, which entail effort
and responsibility ON the part of the
recipients. Under the plan on which
the Woman's S club have been working,
Mr. Carnegie will give $4,000 which
may be used for the purchase of a
library and for the erection of a
library building. Our part will be to
guarantee a site, which must be
owned, not leased and to guarantee
a yearly sum equal to at least 10 per
cent Of the gift, for the maintenance
of the library, This will require in
the present case a guarantee of $500
per year and it is for the purpose of
considering this matter that the meet
ing is called. Hon. r. A. Booth
and other prominent men will be pres
ent to speak to the citizens in this re-
gard
The library project Is one that
should be strongly Supported rs a good
library is productive of more direct
and lasting benefit than almost any
other institution which could be pro-
jected, and lis thoroughly deserving
of the expected hearty support by the
citiZCns.

RICH ORE IN HALL MINE
Splendid Showing of Grave Creek
Quartz Property.

The Hall group of mines on Grave
creek are making most magnificent
showing under development and indi-
cations are good for their developing
into one of the biggest quartz PROPOSE
tions in Southern Oregon. The prop
erty is owned by John and George
Hall Of this city and consists of a
number of claims in Jordan gulch on
the east side of Grave creek. In their
development operations recently they
have uncovered a large body of black
manganese ore which is remarkably
rich. The width of this vein is not
yet determined but a good sized tunnel
fails to touch either wall Another
tunnel, made many years ago was
found in prospecting the property. A
small cut in the hillside and an old
dump were the only surface indica-
tions but as there was altogether too
much dirt in the dump to have come
out of the cut, the existence of tun-
mel was suspected and on excavation
at the back end Of the cut the old
working was discovered. 1t had caved
in and filled up for some distance, but
after cleaning out this portion some
so feet Of old tunnel was discovered
still open Then there was another
cave-in and the length Of the old tun-
mel is not yet ascertained. Whoever
ran the tunnel seems to have been on
the right scent and to have struck the
vein which so many haye searched for
since. \ peculiar circumstance is
that none Of the settlers in that vicin-
ity, even those who have lived there
for many years, were aware Of the ex-
istence of this tunnel This fact,
with others, warrants suspicion
that the man may have been caught
by cave-in or other calamity and it
would not be- a great surprise if the
bones Of some long dead prospector
were TO be uncovered as the excava-
tion is continued.
