To Exploit the ArtesIan Well at
COlfaX.

Representative Breazeale has been
comforting with the U. s. geological
survey for many months concerning
the ACCESSIBILITY OF having an official
examination made of the water of the
artesian well and of the sulphur and
salt deposits of the town OF Colfax.
He has been led To believe that these
deposits are exceedingly valuable and
has talked to the officials of the sur
vey 80 convincingly that they have
promised to send an expert to Colfax
to make tests at an early date.
The official analysis OF the water OF
the Colfax well shows S.62 per cent of
potassium chloride, in addition to
several other properties. 1t is the
presence OF potassium salts that has
attrae ted particular attention to the
we'll, although there are three or four
other valuable properties in the wa
ter4 The only deposit of potassium
salts, of commercial Importance,
known in the world, is monopolized
in Germany, and ii is thought the de-
cided per centage in the water at Col
fax can he utilized to commercial adj
vantage, and become rival to the
German output. The Colfax well
which for while flowed % gallons of
water minute, now flows only about
half that much, but the flow can be
increased again by repairing slight
damages to the pipe through which
it passes.
The present depth of the well is
1906 feet, but it is hoped the govern
ment experts will go 1909 or even
1000 feet deeper, in order to fully in
vestigate the commercial importance
of the deposits in the various strata
underlying this Immediate locality.
The following letter from Mr.. Brea-
zeale to Mr.. r. S. Cameron, on the
subject o. the examinations to be
made here by the T. S. gpo!ogists,
will be of interest to those interested
in scientific research, as well as to
those who have the progress OF the
community at heart, viz:
U. S. HOUSE OF REPEsENrArryEs.(
Wash ton, ID. c., Feb. %. 1901.
Mr.. II. S. Cameron. Colfax, La:
My Dear Sir-I am glad to inform
you that at last / have succeeded in
having the Geological Survey to send
"A geologist to Natchitoches to exam
inc the artesfan wells at that place
and at Colfax. He will leave here
with me on the 5tI prox., and will
go direct to NatchitOches; from there
he will GO to CUIfax and make a
thorough examination of the well,
water. ETC., etc. l have had quite a
hard fight to have this done. but per-
has accomplished 1t, and
hope his report will show your well
of some commercial Importance.
