haustible flow of water has been tap
ped by workmen employed by the e.
A. Rea Co. The hole is in the rear OF
the new Rea block and the water will
be used to supply the Rea buildings, in
Guiding the hotel, and several resident
properties. The drillers say a flow OF
water has been struck sutlicientto sup
ply the entire city should pipes be laid
There have been a number of holes drill
ed previous to this by the same parties
but for sufficient reasons abandoned be
fore very great depth was reached.
| That satisfactory flow has been tap
ped is demonstrated by the fact that
water was pumped for eight consecutive
hours Saturday, producing constant
flow of almost thirty-tive gallons pei
minute, or about 16,S0O gallons during
the eight hours pumping.
The hole is a inches in diameter al
