Another Steamer Lost.

On Friday the 3rd instant the
steamer Isis with cargo of fruit
from the Upper St. Johns River, on
her way to Jacksonville, encountered
a severe storm while crossing Lake
George and foundered one and a
halt miles south Of Drayton Island.
Three of her crew were drowned
and the remainder with the passen>
gers were taken off by the steamer
Rosa, which was on her voyage to
Sanford. a passenger on the Rosa
Informs us that the Isis, which was an
iron steamer, had every appearance
of having broken in two. This event
taking place so soon after the burns
ing of the "City of Sanford" is very
deplorable. The Union says:
The Isis was owned by joint
stock company, OF whom the princi-
pal shareholders were Mr.. A. Soary,
of this city, DIR. Henry Foster, OF
Clifton Springs, N. Y, W. G White,
OF Orlando, Captain W. M Somer,
vile, of Canada, commanding vessel),
and halt dozen stockholders at Lake
Jessup. She was valued at $4,000,
and had just come out after a
thorough overhauling, repainting,
etc., at cost of $4,000, and was con-
sidered in capital order. So far as
can be learned this loss was not cover
ed by insurance. Mr.. Solary had a
fire but not a marine policy on the
boat, and thinks the other shares
holders were similarly situated. 1t
is thought, if the worse be true, that
the steamer is a total loss.
The Isis was stern wheel, iron
hull steamer one hundred and odd
feet hull and twenty feet beam. She
was built in Wilmington, N, c., sew
eral years ago, and was considered
all right. She was large freight
boat and carried a fine proportion OF
the Up~river trade. Mr.. Eugene ALI
ell is her agent in this city. He could
not add any definite information tc
the above.

surface. and in few instances rose
above tide water. The last one which
/ have any knowledge of was sunk on
friends farm, who never knew what
it was to have good water. This was
sunk in nine hours, s. feet deep, pass
ing two strata containing bad water.
After passing through 10 feet OF
green Jersey sand, stratum OF
white clay six feet thick was found,
under which pure soft water rose to
near the surface in great abundance.
In this well four OF five feet OF mud
and quicksand were found resting on
forty feet of blue clay. On this farm
much muscle and time had been ex-
pended in unsuccesstullY trying to get
a drive well down.
On another farm gentleman says
his water is so nice that he has stop
ped all other drinks including his
morning nip. The pipe is Il inches,
and the earth ahead OF the pipe was
excavated bY drill connected with
small 1>iuch pipe, through which
the detritus passes without drawing
the pipe. A little experience is nee
essary in passing quicksand to pres
vent the drill from choking. IN that
case it must be drawn out to clear it,
bnt this is done in a few minutes. On
my farms years ago the drive wells
were abandoned as a hopeless Job,
the heaviest maui falling failing to
move the pipe in the quicksand or
blue clay. Near the same spot the
pipe slid along with little effort. In
my well two or three strata OF water
were passed, aud in abundance, but
desiring an overflow they were pass
ed. In all cretaceous and tertiary
formations, / think water Will b.
found without much trouble or ex
pense. Where rock has to be passed
the expense is more aud water uncer
tain, unless the district is known by
previous explorations.
AS the cost and time are only q
trlfie in sinking these wells, one car
! prospect for water by this means
which is far more certain than the
"peach twig.1 The company does not
send men to Assistance to sink wells
The company is a new one, and has

dangerous for Orange City if one of De-
