Mr.. Hogan submits the data which
he has prepared with considerable
care, in hopes that it will bring the
subject prominently before the farm
ers of this county, and perhaps thus
result in much good to the farming in
terests in the section. The list is not
complete, but, we have reason to be-
lieve, quite accurate. A circumstance
somewhat curious and worthy of
thoughtful consideration occurred re-
Gently on the place of Mr.. Coultrin.
From his well number of small live
fish were thrown, which resembled in
every respect brook trout. They had
doubtless come down from some of the
mountain streams which lose them
selves in the earth and follow their
course underground. Mr.. Hogan's
theory is that there are three subster-
ranean streams or veins of water
flowing from the mountains north of
our city and taking a course almost
due south to the ocean. This idea
will be confirmed by observing that in
some places wells are bored from 100
to 800 feet in depth without striking
water, while in near neighborhood
fine flows are secured at moderate
depths. The water which comes to
the surface on the eastern side of the
railroad track is of an entirely differ
ent quality from that on the west,
while there is also variance in the
temperature of water flowing from
different wells not far removed from
each other. By the opening of new
wells, the flow has been noticeably
decreased others, and in one instance
an old we'll was entirely dried up by
this cause.
The subject is one of immense inn
portance to our section, and if, by
careful investigation, correct theories
can be evolved, it will be the saving
of thousands of dollars which would
otherwise be expended in boring wells
which may prove useless. Let us hear
from others of our friends who are in
terested in this matter, and whose
views may be valuable in reaching
some conclusion upon the subject.
