-Platteville News: The city faith
ers and the waterworks boys had adj
ditional cause to be thankful Thurs
day. Wednesday evening the drill
was taken out of the city well, after
having been stuck so long that many
people supposed it had become a per-
manent fixture there The drillers
had been at work for over a year, hav-
inc started their task Nov. "a, 1895.
Part of this time the drill has been
stuck. They are now down 1870
feet. but their course is very slow be-
cause Of the exceedingly hard rock
they are now drilling through, en-
abling them to make but three or
four feet a day, and even then the
4 drill has to be brought Us often to be
sharpened. It is expected to 60 down
1000 feet and it is hoped that no
further bad luck will interfere with
that intention.
