ARTEsIAN WELLS.

AesMit Oh organisations That Have
Dcen Made In North Dakota.
For the past two years the United
States Geological survey has been in
vestigating the structural geology and
water resources of the Red River VAL
ley of the North.
Mr.. Charles M. Hall. director of the
North Rakota cooperative survey, has
been conducting the work, and as a re-
suit of his investigation it is shown that
at least two distinct artesian basins
large portion of the Upper Red River
valley. These basins are quite distinct,
having different sources of supply and
yielding different qualities Of water.
The more important of the two basins
Is the eastern continuation of the great
Dakota artesian basin, noted for its
large flows in the James River valley in
both North and South Dakota. The
eastern limit of the basin is marked by
an Irregular line running north and
south not far from the middle Of the
Red River valley. where the water
bearing horizon rises to within 200 feet
OF the surface, while twenty-five miles
to the west it is reached at depths va
rying from 400 to 600 feet. The basin
yields many flows on the Dakota side of
the valley, one recently struck yielding
as high rs 1000 barrels per day from u
three-inch well.
The water Is usually found in clear
white. unconsolidated sand land is
softer than the surface waters, 1t is
excellent for stock or for domestic pur-
poses, and has been used to some ex-
tent for irrigation. The pressure from
these wells varies with location and al
titude ranging from less than one
pound to as high as 100 pounds per
square inch, the latter being recorded
by we'll at Enderlin, N. D.
The second basin lies above the first,
the water coming in from the sand lay
ers at the base of the glacial drift. The
central part of the Red River valley is
a bread plain, ranging from ten to fifty
miles wide, and which lies from $50 to
$50 feet abave the region on either side
1t has b cen quite clearly shown that
the water Of this second or upper basin
undoubtedly comes from the sandy re-
gions on either side of this area. where
it is collected from the annual rainfall
and gradually fed to the thinner beds
of sand which conduct it under the VAL
ley. This basin is reached at depths
varying from 20 to $50 feet; and rarely
gives more than a few pounds pressure.
The water is harder than that from the
North Dakota basin, but usually good
70 stock and domestic purposes. Hun
dreds of flowing wells along both sides
of the valley, on farms and in towns.
derive their water from thOs basin. A
third water horizon. lying still nearer
the surface. gives rise to tubular wells.
in which the water rises to within a
few feet of the surface. but does not
flow. Often oil three water horizons
are met with in The same wells at diff
ferent depths.
The map showing the extent of these
basins and depths to water will soon
be published by the United States Geo
logical survey, covering portions Of
Cass and Richland counties. North Da-
kota, and Clay and Wilkin counties,
Minnesota.

SAMPSON VERY SICK.
Admiral May Never Leave His House
Again.


Washington, Dec. 19.-Admiral Will
lam 7. Sampson is critically ill and
probably will never again leave his
house. Every pleasant day since the
admiral and his family returned from
the mountains at the end of the sum-
1ner season. he has been able to take
an afternoon walk, accompanied al
ways by Mrs. Sampson. Sunday he
went out for the last time. but found
himself so weak that he was obliged to
return to the house without finishing
his walk. 1t is, learned that Admiral
Sampson has not been cognizant of the
various features of the so-called Samp-
son-Schlcy controversy for year or
more. Until recently he has known in
a general way what has been going on.
but he has taken no personal interest
In the case, not even while the court of
inquiry was in session. He has dis
played no interest whatever In the
findings. Admiral SIMPSONS family
and friends are made painfully aware
OF the bitterness Of the controversy by
the receipt in almost every mail Of
abusive letters from hot-headed and
unthinking partisans in various parts
OF the United States.
