[From Our Own Correspondent
lola, KANs., June Z, 1876.
Having some knowledge Of the ga,
welP A. this place, l determined to stoI
off and make it Q visit, and lay my OBJ
servations before the public.
Some three years since Mr. Acers be
gan prospecting for coal on the south.
west corner Of the town site of lola,
about half . mile from the public square.
After reaching depth Of seven hundred
and forty feet, and passing through
eighty-four different strata Of rock, work
was abandoned and the machinery re.
moved.
1.-THE depth of five hundred feet q
vein of water was struck which issues
several yards in height from the surface,
like fountain.
The we'll yields of water ninety.five
barrels, and Of inflammable gas ten thou.
sand cubic feet per day. The gas burn.
with q brilliant fame and is used fol-
heating purposes at the buildings; it il
the intention of the proprietor to use it
exclusively for the purpose of lighting
and heating the establishment.
The water bears an even temperature
of go Fahrenheit, which is agreeable for
bathing but not quite cool enough to be
pleasant for drinking.
1t contains valuable medicinal proper
ties, and is so highly impregnated with
mineral as to make it weigh a pound to
the gallon more than pure spring water.
The predOminating taste is that OF
salt, aside from which il is not disagree
able.
Mr.. Acers has erected large hotel
and several cottages for the use of fami.
lies if they prefer them. He has also
expended considerable capital in bath
and dressing.rOOms, and is completing
convenient arrangements for invalids and
others who may desire to remain under
treatment.
Through the pOliteness of Mr.. G. A.
Taylor. superintendent, and Mr.. McFar-
land, q visitor, was shown through the
apartments, and cOnversed with num-
Der of the patients, all of whom assured
me they were recovering rapidly, and
could testify to the healing power of the
water.
Some of the cases of cure are remarka-
bic, especially those of q scrofulous ma
ture, and should induce all who are thus
afflicted to come here and give the water
a trial. Mr.. Logan, of Indiana, had an
liberated cancer of twenty-eight years
standing on the ANGLE, and had expended
over 81 900 in trying to effect q cure.
Three months use of the water has near
~ restored his limb to soundness. and
he expects to return home before the
summer is over q well man. A number
of visitors are here from different parts
of the country. who are using the water
by way of experiment.
Major Henning, with a party from
Kansas City, came here in palace. car
and remained several days. Col. Abeel,
formerly of the Journal, is here, with his
family. Applications for accommoda-
tions are being made daily, and no doubt
another season will witness still further
improvements. Large quantities of the
water are being shipped daily to all
parts of the country, much of it to dis.
tant States. There can be no doubt of
its efficacy as cure for diseases origina-
ting from impurities Of the blood. The
discovery is fortunate one for lola, as
it is only question of time when it will
become one of the most celebrated re-
sorts in the country. G.
