The Santa Fe management has prac-
tically decided to engage in the ice manu-
featuring business and build big manu-
featuring and storage plant at Newton.

dollars.
Engine %, which has been used in
the round house here all winter, sta
tionary engine, to furnish steam to
the pumps, in the wells Mr.. Fasiy
bored last fall, has been sent to Newton
under orders from Topeka. We under
stand that Mr.. Sanderson, the new assis-
tant superintenden Mt of machinery, in tends
to dispose of this class of. engines. as
they too small to handle the trains
the Santa Fe desires to run.
A. Fasig completed the Santa Fe we'll
at this place Tuesday at depth of 2S3
feet. They put down 14O feet of pump
pipe and began the test Tuesday after
noon. They four hours, throwing
cut SO gallons of water per minute. and
when they stopped and made the exami-
nation they found that they had not
lowered the water in the we'll to any per-
ceptible degree. Tee presumption is that
40 gallons per minute can be taken from
the well without touching bottom, Mr.
| Archer is highly pleased with the X
pertinent and pronounces it one of the
/ best wells on the division. The water is
| of a desirable quality to the engines, be-
i inc much softer than the average soft
water wells in the city and contains no
/ soda alkah. Mr.. Fasig will move his
well drlH to Dodge City where he will
put down two more wells for the Santa
Fe at the round house, after which he
will return to this city and put down an
other one.-Syracuse Republican.
