on the tract DC cancelled, setting
forth that Mcdonald has not shown
good faith in the occupancy of the

Success has crowned the ~artesian
well experiment of Uncle Sam at
Fort Metde. At the depth of 35l
feet has been struck a nice vein OF
pure crystal water, which flows
out with such force as to send it ten
feet above the surface. The authori-
ties are not satisfied, however, as
they want more force, and drilling
has been continued. The finding of
good water at such a slight depth
from the surface is of great interest
to Sturgis people, and solves for
them an important problem. They
are jubilant over the find and
artesian wells will doubtless be
sunk at other points about town
for water supply and fire protection,
although the ditch supply is better
than most towns have.
