ArtesIan Wells.

Artesian well making is being reduced
to an exact science by a citizen of our
county, Mr.. Jos. W. Pratt, of Westville
and he is meeting with great success in
drilling them.
Last week he completed very success
ful job for James Jessup, near Barnsboro,
sinking four-inch pipe to depth of 3163
feet, and finding an inexhaustible supply
of splendid water, and resting the pipe in
203 feet of white sand and gravel. Mr..
Pratt says the first one hundred feet he
passed through black mud and green land;
the next 1913 feet he encountered mari,
quick sand, green land and black mud
At 298 feet he struck the vein of pure
white sand and coarse white gravel, into
which he sunk the screen 81 feet. The
water rose 248 feet in the pipe, and after
two days pumping with an engine failed
to reduce it an inch. 1t is the deepest
we'll in that section.
Mr.. Pratt has samples of the gravel
taken at Westville at a depth Of liz feet,
and at North Woodbury. at depth of l3O
feet, which corresponds exactly in color
with that taken at Barnsboro at 3162 feet.
Barnsboro being the highest point between
Camden and Cape May, accounts for the
greater distance required to reach this
strata, and he considers that an ample sup
ply of pure water can be attained any
where in this section by reaching this level

Both teams will play the clover Wheel
men next Wednesday night
This is the second year for basketball in
Woodbury., yet some persons are actually
8 green enough to think the attacks are
better than the defences because they score
more goals. 1t would he just as common
sensed to say a frst-baseman was better
than pitcher because he had more put
outs. The defence is there to defend and
not to score. Of course the defence often
scores but good one seldom does unless
his side has the game well in hand, or
the playing space is small
