1t is slow progress going through the
ouicksand and it is hard to drive the
casing. The sand will bulge up from
the bottom and rise up in the well for
perhaps hundred feet and number
of days must be consumed in pumping
it out and getting down to the bottom
again, when the casing can be driven
fifteen or twenty feet until the sand
bulges again and the same per-
formance must be gone through. A
terrible force must be at work to force
the sand up like this and if it were
acting on water would throw it high
in the air. Water is constantly seep-
ing up through the sand at the bottom
and rises 10 the top of the we'll and the
obstructive sand once cleared and
water is little short of certain.
Those engaged in boring are expecting
to strike a heavy flow every day.

stantly being brought up and the

the Caldwell and DeLamar, the

Upon which we all agree to be cor
rect according to our apparatus. The
only controversy arose over how the
vertebrae of fish came to be re-
moved by the drill at the depth of
400 feet, which was decided as fol-
lows: Harris thought some old bear
hunter had opened his can Of salmon
there in historical ages. Wilson
came to the conclusion that when this
valley was lake some freighter got
mired there and had unloaded his
goods, among which was some cod
fish. Skibbe thought that as Noah's S
ark was sailing to Mount Ararat one
of his kids dropped part of its
breakfast there. The editor thought
this was the place where the Savior
fed the 1000 from five fishes and took
up more than he began with, ano
