ANOTHER WONDER.
Discovery of Remarkable Hole in the
Earth in Arizona.
From the Tucson Citisen.

z rom me tucson btttEcH.
In some sections of the northern por-
ton of Arizona the question of water sup
ply, even for domestic purposes. is a very
serious one. This is particularly the case
at Ash Fork, station on the Atlantic
and Pacific Railroad. A series of very
lovely and fertile valleys surround the
place, and plenty of grass grows for the
support of large herds of cattle, but no
water can he had except from an OCca-
sional tank" during the winter season.
At Ash Fork the railroad company at
tempted to sink an artesian well, but
after reaching a depth OF 900 feet the
drill became fastened and could not be re-
moved. Many futile attempts were made
to extract it, but at last it was aban-
doned In despair. All water now used at
that station and by the residents of the
town is brought by rail from Peach
Spring, SiXty-hVe miles to the westward,
and is sold at 80 cents per barrel.
A short time ago prospector, stimu-
lated by the inquiry for water, reported
that be had discovered huge well. about
eight miles from Ash Fork, sunk in a
level plain. Parties at once repaired
thithCr, with ropes and other parapher-
MALTA TO explore the wOndrOus discovery.
They found the locality, but TO his day
JOey 90 nor KNOW Jhe exact nature OF tne
curious cavern that met their gaze. 1t is
located on a level plain and cannot be
seen until it is approached very near.
There is no evidence of earth
or rock having been removed
from the pit, which was found to he 1850
feet in diameter and 800 feet deep, with
perpendicular walls. Noone in the party
was brave enough to descend and explore
the "well," when the rope had been
lowered, and the explorers returned to
Ash Fork scarcely wiser than they were
before their trip. 1t is certainly a great
curiosity, and there possibly exists a sup.
ply OF water somewhere in its depths or
in the numerous cayerns or tunnels that
apparently emerge into the dark earth
below from this curious threshold Of sum
liuht
