The Arkansas Pass Beacon says: The
ice factory and cold storage of large
capacity is being pushed to completion by
those energetic enterprising citizens,
Messrs. Mckay and Barlow. The work
is done in good style and in substantial
manner, showing the firm belief of the
proprietors IN the rapid growth and
permanency of our city. The splendid
ana unexpected procurement of an IN
limited supply of excellent water is
astounding. They were sinking q reser-
voir for their ice factory, on the ridge in
front of the bay, and when they had
reached ten feet IL depth they struck q
strong stream of good fresh water, which
soon rose six feet at which it continues to
stand. II is our opinion that il is mex
haustible, or at least will furnish all the
water required by the ice factory.
