A MINERAL SPRING.

Foundry company have well viii was
buried for them to depth of 1856 feet.
The water which was struck at that
depth is of remarkably fine variety of
mineral water, showing an analysis near

water.
People have come to appreciate the
water. and regularly come to the well to
get the water. One man who has been

finds in this water just the liquid which
his stomach needed.
II the hotels and boarding houses OF
this city want to have mineral spring
