with their new artesian well. All at
tempts tie remove the drill which is
stuck at the bottom have proved fruit
less and the workingmen are now try
ing to drill around it. The drill
sticking business comes about in this
way; drill is newly sharpened and
let down into the hole. AS it cuts the
rock the drill gradually grows dull
again and astthe steel wears away the

Great care to properly turn the bit
backward and forward and not crowd
it as it goes down must be taken.
