Through the efforts of the Woman's club an assurauce has been received that the gift will bo forthcoming if the necessary pro visions for the support of tho library are guaranteed by the citizeus. Mr. Carnegie endows many libraries but lei takes strict precautious against wasting any money in so doing. When he makes a donation he wants assurance that it will bo a permanent benefit. Ue has regular plans and systems of giving, w hich entail effort and responsibility on tho part of the recipients. Under the plan on which the Woman's club have been working, Mr. Carnegie will give $"000 which may be used for the purchase of a library and for tho erection of a library building. Our jiiirt will bo to guarantee a site, which must be owned, not leased , and to guaranteo a yearly sum equal to at least 10 per cent of the gift, for the maintenance of the library. This will require iu the present case a guaranteo of f-'iOO 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 w ill bo pres ent to speak to the citizens iu this re gard. ; Tho library project is one that should be strongly supported as a good library is productive of more direct and lasting benefit than almost any other institution which could be pro jected, and iis thoroughly deserving of the expected hi arty support by the citi.ens. RICH ORE IN HALL MINE Splendid Showing of Crave Creek Quartz Property. Tho Hall group of mines on Grave creek are making a most magnificent showing miller development and indi cations are good for their developing into one of the biggest quartz proposi tions in Southern Oregon. The prop erty is owned by John nnd George Hall of this city and consists of a number of claims iu Jordan gulch on the east side of Grave creek. In their development ojieratious receutly they have uncovered a large body of black manganese ore which is remarkably rich. The width of this vein is not yet determined but n good sized tunnel fails to touch cither wall. Another tunnel, made many years ago, was found in prnsiK cling the property. A small cut in the hillside and an old dump were the only surface indica tions hut as there was altogether too much dirt iu the dump to havo come oul of the cut, the existence of a tun nel was suspected and on excavation at the buck end of the cut the old working was diseuv-red. It had caved iu and filled up for some distancejiut after cleaning out this portion some .V) feet of old tunnel was discovered still open. Then there was another cave-in and the length of the old tun nel is not yet ascertained. Whoever ran the tuunci si ems to have been on the right scent and to have struck the vein which so many have searched for since. A Kculiur circumstance is that mm" of the settlers iu that vicin ity, evi ii those who have lived there for many years, were aware of the ex isteiieo of this tunnel. This fact, with other, warrants a suspicion that the man m.iv have been caught by a eave-in or otln r ealamity and it would not b" a gn at surprise if the bom s of some lung ib-ad prosis-ctor Were to be uueoven d lis the exeuva t ion is cont inui ,1.
