COMPANY'S FINE WELL.
Town Supplied With Artesian Water Which Is
Pumped Into Mains.

The water c~ompany's pump is now run
every afternoon from l o'clock to s.. The
supply of water from the mountains is
decreasing rapidly and within a week or
so it will be necessary to run the pump
the entire day.
The water il raised and forced into the
mains from the company's well in the
pump house IN the river bank near the
bridge. The power is transmitted from
the lighting plant near. the reservoir.
Steam is now used to run the dynamos
except at night, when there is sufficient
water power.
The well from which the water supply
is being pumped during the day is a re-
markable one. If 1T is not an artesian
well, the resemblance is at least very
close. The water comes up into the main
well through a six-inch pipe which was
put down to a depth Of fifty. feet. The
water almost ceased to flow over the
top of the casing a few days ago and 1t
was feared that the supply had been ex-
bausted. Yesterday a sand pump was
lowered to the bottom of the casing and
brought up filled with gravel. Then an
iron rod was put down and used in loos-
ening the larger rocks at the bottom.
After a few minutes work the water be-
gan to come up with great force, bringing
a large quantity of gravel and large
rocks, some of which weighed as much
as two pounds. The water continued to
increase in volume and raised about a
foot over the top even after another
length of pipe was added to the casing.
The well filled rapidly, covering the top
OF the casing. The pump was started
up at fun speed and run several hours
yesterday afternoon. but the water could
not be lowered below the top of the cas-
ing. 1t was estimated that at the time
the pump was shut down last evening the
well was flowing nearly double the
amount of water the pump could raise.
The water is clear as crystal. has NOT
the least brackish or alkali taste, and
r. certainly a wonder. Many believe II
is a genuine a~rtesian well. but even If 1t
Is not il is at least furnishing the town
With a supply of good water. II it does
not fail there will be no more necessity
for pumping river water into the mains
for use during the time the supply from
the mountains Is short.

Firemen Frustrated BY Heat.

The past few days have been the warm
est experienced in Truckee in the last
several years. The thermometer crawled
up to "a in the shade on Thursday. How
ever. the nights are delightful. Firemen
on the Sacramento and uck division
nave suffered great hardships from the
heat. Perhaps not ever the ranch hand
who tolls all day in the boiling sun has
suffered more. On Thursday Ed. Neer, a
fireman on No. 4, ~eastbound passenger,
was Frustrated at Gold Run. He fell UNI
conscious I'm the engine and for awhile his
life was despaired of. The unfortunate
fireman was placed on the train and
taken to Towle station for medical atten-

stoned by the accident. Friday two fire.
men on the eastbound flyer were over
come by the heat between Truckee and
Sacramento. which made the flyer nearly
two hours behind time.-Grass Valley

The Salt Lake Tribune tells the story
of the finding of a valuable ore body in
the Welland mine at West Point, Lincoln
county. The owner of the location, after
whom 1t is named. hired a man to per-
form the annual assessment work requir-
ed by the u. S. statutes on unpatented
mining locations. The man happened to
be of the class born tired. and while seek
ing for a soft place to sink a ten-foot
shaft. struck a vein assaying l26 ounces
i'm silver and SIS In gold per ton. Had
the man not belonged to the born-tired
class 1t is more h probable that he
would never have found the vein, as he

Ladies' Frightened by Human Cur.

Some unknown man has created a reign
of terror among the ladies in the north
ern part OF town and is n candidate for
punishment If he is caught The
fellow is said to have been seen prowling
around several residences at night and on
one occasion followed a lady who was
alone 10 her very gate. She turned on
him, warning him not TO enter the gate,
and the contemplate hound skunk away.
The matter was reported TO the officers
and a good description OF the fellow was
given, but so far he has not been located.
There is some ground for believing he is
a switchman who was employed in the
yard a few days ago and who has now
left town.
