Finally. in 1856, the material for boring
artesian wells arrived at Tamerns. and on
the first of May OF that year the Grst blow
was struck by Ali Bey, the Cadi of Tug
gurt. The work was pushed rapidly for
ward, and on the 9th Of June water issued
in volumes. Lieutenant Rose Of the French
army describes the scene as being most
affecting, comparing it TO the miracle of
Moses drawing water from the rock by the

and ii IL named the Fountain OF Peace.
The issue of water was 69 72J gallons a

was besieged with petitions from other
oases to do as we'll by them. In eight
years, 1856 TO 1864, the French Govern.

been abandoned in course Of execution by
the natives. They cost altogether 29O, 900
francs 1855. 970). had an aggregate depth
OF boring of IL. LOG feet and total first
issue of 1860 gallons a minute The
deepest was at Cheggo, 364 feet; the least
depth at which water was found was 20
feet. IA The, ordinary depth was between
100 aud 225 feet. and the average tempera.
ture of 76;2 FahreDheit., The largest issue
of any was 1867 gallons a minute from
that OF Sidi 1kmran, 255 feet deep. In 1878
there were IN Algeria 1880 metres Of
