The first effort made in this valley
for some years to find artesian water is
that by E. F. Kellner on his ranch
fourteen miles from Phoenix. At the
depth OF 400 feet they had some diff.
Guilty In handling the machinery for a
few days, but Mr.. Kellner Immediately
repaired the damages and the we'll was
sunk sixteen feet deeper, when it was
ascertained that while the drill worked
all right the hoisting power was too
weak to lift the heavy shafting, and
another delay has been occasioned. In
few days, however, this will be rene
died and the well will be sunk deep
enough to determine whether artesian
wells are practica BILE. This is the first
effort since the attempt to sink in the
court house plaza some years ago
when we'll boring was done under many
disadvantages, but with improved ma
chtnery and bits that will penetrate
solid granite, the problem can now
easily be solved. Those who should bt
: we'll informed on locations where ar
tesion water can be found think i
highly probable that the Salt Rive
valley is an artesian basin, as it is very
similar to the San Louis valley of Colo
rado, which is the greatest basin o
that character in the world.
