Richfield Republican, The work on the
new artesian well has not been in vain.
Last Saturday the subterran an lake WAS
reached at depth of $50 feet and the
sparkling liquid soon found its way to the
surface. The quantity of water discharged
at the present writing is about the same as
the old well. forty-four barrels an hour,
With two good artesian wells, flowing at
the rate of fortv-four barrels an hour, a
grand total of lightweight barrels an
hour, the city of Richfeld is abundantly
supplied with water. It. was tho ght by
some that tie flow of water in
the old well would be di-
minished by the other well. it being
so near, but it was not, the quantity of
water discharged is not affected in the
least
1t has been claimed by writers on the
subject of irrigation that if a number of
wells be made in the same locality that
quantity of water discharged in each
would be diminished as the number of
wells increased. This does not appear to
harmouize with that theory. Our wells
are only one hundred feet apart and the
amount of water discharged by both is
double that of the first one And ii is my
opinion that if fifty wells were made in the
city of Richfield that the last wells made
would not affect the others In the least.
The work on the new we'll will be con-
tinued to a depth of 1000 feet, the object
being to ascertain if there be any mineral
deposits OF value beneath our fair city.
These wells are the result Of the nter-
prise of our city council and untiring zeal
