E. G. Haines took a trip to Riverside
last Saturday, to see his brother, Joseph

place. MIR. Haines says that the we'll will
prove a failure, because the workmen
cannot check the great flow of quicksand
which is continually running into and
filling the well. William Clark has been
pumping water and sand from the exca-
walton day and night for eleven weeks,
during which time the work of sinking
the well has progressed so slowly that the
contractor will sustain a heavy loss un-
less the Riverside authorities recompeDse
him for the time and labor expended upon
it.
