is going down at the rate of 25 feet
a day, If work Is continued all this
week, depth OF 1000 fee. will be
reached. This Will cost $340, and
work will be suspended until Mr..
Ashley, the contractor, does some
other work he had promised. An
effort will be made to raise enough
money to put the we'll down 800 feet
more If artesian water is not struck
a windmill and pump will be put in
for irrigating purposes. Some seven
or eight hundred feet of water now
stands in the well. The drill is
about five inches in diameter, and
should strong flow he found, the
stream thrown out would be large
one 1t is claimed that some years
ago well was put down about a
half mile west of the cemetery, and
when work ceased at depth of 500
feet water had risen to the surface,
but there was no flow. The general
impression is that the formation dips
considerably and artesian water
would be found at a much less depth
farther down the valley. 1t is to be
hoped the matter will be fully tested,
as series of flowing wells would be
of Immense value
David Putney is one rancher that
feels kindly toward the P. Il l. N.
Ry. He had bought very large
farm on time, and the prospect OF
paying for it was anything but bright
when the representatives of Mr.. Hall
came along and paid him enough for
half of it to pay the mortgage of,
leaving his land clear, 1t joins the
smelter site. In his other dealings
with the company he has been used
so we'll that he has full confidence of
receiving fair treatment in all things.
Being asked whether or not the
smelter would injure his crops he
said that he thought not, but he
was not not worrying over it, as be
was satisfied the company would
make it right with him if it did.
