The Artesian Well

On Thursday and Friday of last week
the artesan well was pretty fairly
tested as to its capacity for furnishing
any anticipated supply of water. The
authorities secured the large rotary
pump belonging TO the Prairie Mill fix.
lures, and with the traction engine of
Albert Smith forced up a continuous
stream of water three inches in diane.
ter on Thursday and pumped for an
equal length of time on Friday.
The well is 500 feet deep, drilled
under contract to that depth for $3.50.
For 100 feet from the surface of the
rock it was drilled with diameter of
ten inches, then for IS feet the diane
ter is eight inches; the rest of the
distance (3l5 feet it is six inches.
Rock was struck five feet below the
surface of the ground. IL is drilled
through solid limestone 254 feet. Be-
low this is found stratum OIL lime.
rock 90 feet thick, then occurs II feet
of blue shale, after this another STRAIT
um of limestone IS feet thick, and
below this the drill passed for lis feet
into the stratum of green shale.
The water is forced up from these
strata of limestone to within three
feet of the surface of the ground.
The well has been tubed with 8.inch
tubing to the depth of 103 feet, the
tubing being driven down into the
second section, or where the diameter
is reduced to eight inches, and bar
rel Of cement mixed with sand poured
around the tubing, effectually shutting
out all surface water from the well or
any that might percolate through the
rock above the section of 100 feet.
With a moderate speed of the engine
with 3-inch pipe the tank of Chin
nock's street sprinkler (which holds
624 gallons) was filled In less than / =
minutes. After this, with greatly &C
celebrated speed of the engine, the well
was pumped continuously for an hour
and half with no sensible diminution
of water in the well. A clear stream
of soft cold water constituting a vol
ume of 500 gallons per minute, with
no taste of mineral solution noticeable,
was thrown with great force from a
3.inch pipe. The next day the same
test was made. The engine was run
at its maximum speed continuously
for one hundred minutes; during this
time it is pretty accurately estimated
that volume of not less than $4,000
gallons or 1900 barrels was pumped
out without any indications of ex-
haustion.
The test seems to be satisfactory and
the opinion prevails that there is sufii-
cient good water below us for any
contemplated purpose. Probably we
shall be called on to say whether we
wish to utilize it or not.

Wisconsin Weather Crop Bulletin.
MuwAUKEE. July III. I8o,

MILWAUKEE, July IL, 1870.
Abundant and very beneficial
showers have been frequent during
the past week, quite thoroughly re.
lieving the drouth conditions and re-
plenishing the reservoirs in the cram
berry marshes.
Rain has delayed haying and it will
be well towards the latter part of the
month before the crop is all in. In
nearly all northern counties the growth
is light, but in the southern half of the
state, where the bulk of the crop is
grown, it is fair to heavy.
In La Crosse and VernOnon counties
some winter wheat and rye have been
cut, but the harvest will not be gener-
al throughout the state before the Goth
or 25th. These two crops have good
stand of straw, heads well filed, and
generally free from rust, only one

from rust. The yield will be excellent.
Drouth has done no harm to corn,
in fact it has made vigorous growth
under the hot sun of June; aud the
late rains came just in time for pota-
toes. The two crops are in magnifi-
cent shape in all counties, and with a
large acreage, promise a large yield.
Some early potatoes are being dug in
Walworth county and they are fine.
High winds the latter part of the
week beat down some of the grain in
southern counties, but no serious dam.
age has probably occurred.
Spring grains are not generally in a
promising condition. But few cor
respondents report oats and barley as
heavy, and numerous statements are
received showing them to be poor to
fair. The yield will probably be be-
low the average.
Many strawberries were dried up

Battle of Gettysburg.

When in Chicago during the Worlds
Fair, we would advise our readers not
to fail to see one of the grandest sights
of that city, the vast and realistic Pan
Drama of the BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG, which
is exhibited on the corner of Wabash
Av. and Panorama Place. Those who
have never witnessed work of the
kind can form no conception of the
startling effects that are obtained.
The Gettysburg Panorama is The work
of Paul Phillipoteaux, French Artist
of great ability and ests 5lished reputa-
ton as military PALMER, whose won
derful defense Of Paris" has been
seen by most Americans who have Wis
tied the French capital. Mr.. Philippe
teaux has N ade striking success. where
ordinary sceric painters have failed.
1t is his idea to complete the pictorial
illusion by placing the spectator in the
centre of the scene, and completely
surrounding him with broad circum-
ference of earth and sky. The whole
battle field of Gettysburg is reproduc-
ed with strictest typographical &C
curacy, and the details of the great
fight are represented with realism
that seems marvellous.
The foreground is actually built out
of real fences. earth, trees, guns etc.,
which are so skillfully led up to and
Joined with the painted canvass which
is so feet high and AIS feet in circum-
ference that it is almost impossible to
discover where reality ends and illu-
sion begins.
A descriptive lecture is given by
veteran of the waE; The enthusiasm of
the old soldier. "and there are thous-
ands of them" who gaze upon this pam
Drama is unbounded. A band OF Da-
kota Indians who were taken to see 1t,
paid an altogether too sincere tribute
to the potency of the illusion. Fully
convinced that the scene was real.
they became wildly excited and wanted
to rush down upon the broad field and
take hand in the fight. The amphi-
theatre rang with their war whoops.
panic ensued, and it was with only by
getting the dusky warriors outside OF
the building that calm was restored.
