POWER or An ARTEsIAN WELL.
Experiments at Crow CrccIS Agency
y alNe Succcssfml In Every MmN.


PApNe Successful in Every way.
CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., Dec 13.-(Spe-
cial.)-Thc government artesian well at Crow
Creek Indian agency has developed wonder
full power. The we'll was completed only
few months ago, and recently the Indian
bureau let a contract for running a pipe
from 1t to the agency grist mill. a distance
of about 900 feet, with the intention of run
ming the mill with power from the we'll.
This week County Surveyor Meyer of this
city visited the well at the request of the
contractor, to ascertain If there was sur
fcient pressure to operate the mill A gauge
registering up to $50 pounds to the square
inch was attached to the we'll, and the
needle turned slowly around until II touched
the $50 mark, when, of course ii had to stop.
This was closed pressure. How much more
it would have registered is not known, and
the exact pressure cannot be ascertained
until larger gauge is procured. The NAM
moth artesian well of the local electric light
company, having a flow of more than 1000
gallons per minute, develops a pressure or
less than 100 pounds per square inch, and
still has more than sufficient force to run
creamery, in addition to the electric light
plant.
Locate Quarry of Fine stone.
HILL CITY, S. D., Dec. 3-(Special)-W.
II. Bond, a resident of Custer City, has dis
covered large and valuable deposit of lith-
cgraph!c stone near Bingle station. He has
developed the quarry to an extent sufficient
to shown that 1t can be prOfitably worked,
and numerous tests show that the stone IL
equal to the best Bavarian product. A COM
pany has been organized to develop and
work the stone, which includes a number of
well known Omaha men, among the number
Aaron j. Klopp, Charles Klopp, Frank Car
penter, NJ. II. Redfeld and Il. w. Bartlett
The importance and value Of this deposit
may be judged from the fact that the best
quality of Bavarian stone commands from
20 to 25 cents per pound. All the litho-
graphic stone now in use now comes from
a single quarry and the supply is limited. If
tho expectations of the Cuu;er county parties
are realized a new supply will be opened and
the wealth and variety Of Black Hills mineral
resources find further Illustration.
