Artesian Wells

The following from the San Francisco Bulletin, shows what can be done by boring artesian wells, even in that city, where al most any man would think 1t would be impossible to procure good water by any means:
 In various portions of the city the experiment. has been tried as to the feasibility of obtaining a supply of water by boring wells. When the new hotel and theatre building on Powell, Market and Ellis streets was commenced, it was thought by the experts that an adequate supply of water could be obtained to supply the building. Work was accordingly began, and a boring was made to the depth of about 120 feet. where bed of gravel was struck, and immedi- ately water gushed up to the top of the ground, and has continued to flow uninterruptedly ever since. This was so successful that a sec- Ond boring was made and with equally good results, and now en- Ough water flows from those two wells to supply the building, and if necessary, the entire block. In sinking this wells 14-inch augur was first used in boring through a stratum of sand about forty feet in depth. This brought 1t to the clay. An iron tube was then put down, resting on the clay, and then a ten-inch augur was used until the gravel bed was reached, after which galvanized iron pipe was put down the entire depth, and the space between the larger and smaller pipe filled with cem- ent. The two wells cost about 5000, and the water is clear, fresh and cold. Similar wells have also been bored at the Golden Gate Flouring Mills at the Pacific Hotel, and at one or two other places, so that the fact is fully demonstrated that at any average depth of 12O feet at all points east of Market street toward the bay there exists a stratum of gravel through which runs stream of water that can be made serviceable for all purposes. It is not improbable that one 12. inch we'll could be made to supply the ordinary wants of an entire block; and any large manufactur- ing establishment could save largely in this manner. The ex- orbitant demands of the present
 water monopoly will certainly drive the people to adopt this easy means of release from extortion.

 No, it won't do. The thing has to be stopped, or the mails must stop.

We have no doubt that the Postmaster -Gener- al will do all in his power to stop the abuse spoken of, but we main ly look to the next Congress to remodel the Postal Law, so as to stop this loop-hole, that bad, ava riciOus men take advantage of fO1 their own interest, regardless of the public welfare.

From the Ariz0n0 Miner |:

Statement of Manuel Abiles, on the evening before his execution, as interpreted by Frank Powers |:
 "Believing that these are my last words on earth 1 make this statement Bill Melone killed Gregorio with an ash stick. A lot of us were drinking and some hard words passed, GregOriO pick ed up a stone and hit another man in the mouth; this commenced the row. GregOrio had worked for MelOne and MelOne owed him four dollars. MelOne struck him because he had hit the other man in the mouth with a stone. l saw him hit Gregorio with the ash club. It was this blow which killed Gregorio. Melone was drunk. went out to protect Gre gorio, but when 1 got there it was too late. MelOne and Eridia both went out after him before l did. I saw Melone strike him as l was running up."

The Santa Rita Placers.

The news continue in favor of the richness of these digging5. A prospector sends us these state mehtS:
 conversation with two miners from Nevada, 1 learned they had located claim about two miles back from Hughes gulch, in deep diggings. They had stripped a gulch eight feet wide and 25O feet long, and on an average of six feel deep. They pack the dirt on jacks to Hughes claim and are making from forty to sixty dollars per day. They say the gold is more evenly diffused, and that labor is more certain of it's reward in these deep diggings than it is in the shallow gulches. They re- present the deep diggings to be extensive, and in their opinion as rich as the best of the deep dig gings of California, The present local law is very defective, in that it gives not only 1000 feet of ground front on each gulch, but also 1000 feet ofthe water running throughout it to the exclusion of all other miners. It also gives every man the right to locate 1000 feet On'every gulch and this is done without ever putting a pick or shovel into the ground, or without knowing whether It contains gold or not; and some men have twenty claims without having worked day on either O them. A limited space of water should be allowed each miner and but one claim in each District. We have heard some talk of men proposing to sink wells with view to supply water for wash. ing, and it seems that in section so full of springs as that is, espe- cially in the mountains around, water could be obtained at tritiing expense of labor and money. A man named Miller came in from the placers early in the week 1 with a nugget of gold worth $121, and we heard that other note worthy pieces had recently been found there, but have no particu- lars. .-CItizen.
