In case of loss will receive from the

/ In many parts of the country artesian
wells may be bored and will furnish
running streams at the surface. This
is due, of course, to the formation of
the under strata Of the earth, and if
one is fortunate enough to strike q
good vein the supply will be abundant.
In portions of the south artesian wells
have been bored to the depth of twelve
hundred feet. One of these wells was
finished in less than three weeks,
striking a vein of water twelve hun
dred feet below the surface that fur
nishes an output sufficient for the
towns uses. 1t is not an uncommon
occurrence that one must drill the
second time in.o a we'll to secure q
permanent supply of water. 1t is q
curious fact that after one has reached
a certain depth piping is unnecessary.
A we'll in New York state was dug to
the depth of hundred and fifty feet
and furnished a reasonable supply OF
water by pumping. After the second
season it gave out entirely. when the
drill was put in and nearly two hun
dred feet more were cut through be-
fore water was reached. For the first
hundred and fifty feet the pipe went
down, but after that the water rose
through the cut in the earth. there
being consistency and frmness enough
in the soil to make piping unnecessary.
