II would advocate the drilling of
one or two wells right at the Wa
ter-works pond. The same kind
of water could be had out there as
in "Flatty," and the pond could
always be kept filled. To get
water in this way would not cost
a great deal-about $3.50 per foot
for dr1lllng-and a vein probably
would be struck not lower than 200
or 800 feet. You would then al
ways have good clear water-not
mud"
The ground where "the hole"
Was drilled was leased from War
rem B. McIntire by the Mining
company for a term of twenty
years, with the understanding that
Mr.. McIntire was to receive roy
lily on whatever valuable was
found and used, although water
was not mentioned. Perfect har.
mony exists between these parties
and there will be no difficulty in
the water company securing all the
water it wants at a reasonable rate.
AS will be seen elsewhere under
court proceedings head, an attach
ment was filed to-day against A
W. Wolf by the Oil Well Supply
Co., of indianapolis. The attach
ment issued is against the ma
chirery and tools of MIR. Wolf, but
this action will cut no figure in the
matter of the disposal OF the prop
erty to the water company, if they
decide to buy it.
| Judge George B. Macfarlane, the
president OF the Water works Co. :,
is absent in Jefferson City, and un-
til he ia heard from no action will
be taken in regard to buying the
Wolf machinery.
