a flowing ar,esian we'll has been put down
at Ry,teuberg'e Brick Yard in ne Suburbs Of
this city. The overflow is about Two and y
half gallons per minute and tie water rises
about We feet above the ground, The water
is Of CRYSTAL clearuess and is soft and OF a
very pleasant taste The first rock was struck
at depth forty feet The remainder Of
the distance the we'll was drilled through
bed Of shells and mari C:her wells will be
bored in the suharbs by those who Cannot
obtain water from the city ,naina. There is
strong sentiment here in favor of water for
all uses that is absolutely pure and that can
no: become contaminated by surface drainage.
and there will be grea; many artesan wells
bored in other parts of the county. Already
there are six or eight wells in the neighbor-
hood of Lrnchourg, several more in the vi
cinity of Mavesvi!e, enG the one at Rytten-
berg's Brick Yard Mr. Rytteobecg will have
the water from his well auaiyzed for the pur-
pose Of learning whether it contains sDy min
erai constituents Apparently there is no
trace of mineral IN it, as it is without odor
or taste that would indicate the presence Of
mineral The cos, CT an astesian well IS
comparatiyey slight, The parties boring then
contracting to bore l25 feet and furnish all
material for $50 If a flowing supply of
water is not obtained at this depth, a charge
of so cents per foot is made for the additional
depth The charge is not less than $50, even
though n stream is struck at less depth than
l25 feet.
