At the Hatchery.

Through the efforts OF our state con-
gressional delegation an appropriation
was secured in the last congress sufficient
to sink an artesian well at the Hatchery.
About two months ago work was begun
and after sinking 90 feet bed rock WAS
struck and water secured to the amount
OF 20 gallons minute. This would be
enough to supply several families, but is
not enough for the needs of the Hatchery
which requires 100 gallons a minute.
the drilling was continued and now they
have reached depth OF 22S feet, all but
the first 80 feet OF which is through solid
rock. As the drilling through the rock is
very difficult Supt. Titcomb has written
to Washington tor permission to sink
several wells to the first bed rock which
will give sufficient supply.
Water secured in this manner is per-
fectly pure and is always the same tenn
perature, while the water now in use
varits from 800 to S4o.i BY mixing the
two the well water will be warmed in
the summer and the river water warmed
in the winter thus giving an even tenn
perature. The artesian well was sunk as
no water OF sufficient force and suitable
quality could be found this side OF Dan
vile. AS soon as the required amount is
secured several new ponds will be added,
one OF which is already commenced.
