a depth of about sixty-five feet,
struck an egg-shaped rock of some
80 or 40 pounds weight, from which
an accidental blow Clipped off a
piece from the outside, when a tiny
stream of water trickled out. This
aroused the curiosity of the men
and the rock was broken, showing a
limestone covering of about two or
three inches in thickness inside of
which was a cavity from which the
water came. At the bottom of this
cavity was soft sediment Of three
or four inches in depth which gave
forth a strong and offensive odor.
Samples of this sediment have been
sent to Duluth chemists for|:analy-
sis. $3.50 -.
