The workmen of the Atlantic and
Pacific Railroad Company struck a
"bonanza" the first part of last week, in
the form of number of shallow walls of
pure running water. Water was needed
along the line of the track for various
purposes, and boring has been diligently
prosecuted. The wells referred to are
about twelve miles east of Mohave. In
one of them water was found at depth
of twenty feet, but boring was continued
forty feet further, in order to insure a
good supply. These wells are of great
value to the Railroad Company, as they
will be needed constantly for supplying
the engines and for purposes of irrigation
around the stations. IS. F. Bulletin.
