THE AKrEstAN WELL.
4 Good Flow of Excellent Water
Obtained AT the City Works.

A Good Flow of Excellent Water
Obtained AT the City Works.
Yesterday afternoon good flow OF
water was struck at depth OF 30 feet
In the artesian we'll which Is being bored
at the water works. Tho water rises
twenty-three feet above the ground and
is OF excellent quality. The boring will
he continued without casing FOR
about fifty feet more. This is
an experimental well, undertaken
at the suggestion Of Acting Chairman
OF the Water Committee Alderman Ham
ilton, and for which $500 was appropri-
ated. all of which has not been expended.
There appears to be no doubt now that
by boring number of wells a good sup
ply Of water can be obtained, which can
be used when the river water Is muddy.
1t is The Intention OF Alderman Hamilton
To send on samples of the artesian water,
the Savannah river water, clear, and the
same when it IS muddy, to the Smith
sonian Institute, Washington, aud have
them analyzed.
The new machinery for well-borinR,
which was ordered by Council some time
since, is expected To arrive next week.
The first use which II will be put to Will
be in boring 6-inch wellin Greene square.
When that work is done it will probably
be used for boring series Of wells at the
water works.
Alderman Hamilton's plan is TO put
down six 6-inch wells on line extending
sOIth from the water works and at right
angle with the river shore. Ii Is esti-
mated that six such wells will furnish
100000 gallons Of water a day. The city
now uses about 5000, 900 gallons a day, or
considerably over 100 gallons for each
man, woman and child. Forty
gallons tor each citizen is said to be the
average amount of water consumed daily
IN many cities. Savannah uses a great
deal more every day in proportion to her
population than any city in the United
States if not more than any city any
where. This is explained In part by the
sDrinkliDg OF the streets and the amount
that is kept running in the sewers all the
time.
When the we'll is bored in Greene square
mains will be laid along East Broad
street.
The vein at the water works ia in a po-
rous rock. Several strata OF rock were
encountered IN boring the well. Among
other things which came up were lot OF
small petritied sharks teeth.

fair sailing breeze was blowing from the
southeast at the start at 1890 o'clock. 1t

pretty as the yachts shook out their can
vas and skinned along the Vernon.

The most interest was in the race be-
tween the first and second class boats.
The katrinka was much admired for her
model, swiitnees ana neatness. The
steamer st. Nicholas followed the fleet
over the course. From smrt to finish
there was good breeze. ana the regatta
was one OF the best held in long while.
Last night the katrinka and the Charles

appointees receive their commissions.
Neither office comes under the civil SER
vice rules, which relate only to offices
where there are more than fifty employees.
The best position in the custom house
under the Collector is the special dep
uty's place, which pays $4,000 a year.
The best place that the Postmaster has
10 fill IL the assistant pOstmasteTship,
which pays $l,1O0. Mr.. Marmaduke Ham,
iton's name was heard the oftenest in
that connection on the street.
Mr.. George Walker and Mr.. Charles
Cuuningham's names were mentioned for
the place now held by Deputy Collector
David Porter. Other names are mem
toned for both places. but less promi-
nently. Capt. Lamar received callers and
congratulations all day at his office, and
efforts were made to ind out who be Will
select FOR the best places in the post Office
There will not be complete change at
once, of course, but as the new appointees
ind mat they can drop out an Old incum-
bent a new man will be put in.
Capt. Wheaton is expected back on
Monday.
