The Rrtesisn well company are digging a six
foot square excavation around the well which
supplies the natGtorium with water. The
nature OF the strata and the depth to which
they will have to go to reach the damaged

broke 81 depth Of twenty feet but the company
expect to go down at least thirty two feet to re-
pair the damage to the well tubing.
o. s. Bates and Henry Thomas are both in

The contractors who are boring the Ertesian
well expected TO have the casing down to the
lower stratum yesterday, but did not quite ac-
complish it. They have 1t down to distance of
GO feet but the well is almost 1903 feet in depth
AS soon as the casing is down q trial will be
made to see how much pressure is exerted by the
flow. The driller estimates it now at forty
pounds. which would be splendid figure, but
others place it not above twenty. It is expected
thSt the water supply will be doubled when the
casing is down to the lower stratum. 1t in
creased somewhat last week. The boring will
go on and it is estimated that the next water
stratum will be struck at between I10o and 200
feet in depth.
