NORTHFIELD, MASS.

Mrs. B. p Thompson has reason to
feel elated over her success with the
artesian well at her place, which has
been recently drilled by F. A. Champ
lin of East Longmeadow, Mass, to a
depth of 302 feet. A pump with a ca
pacity of 60 gallons per minute has
been in operation for several hours
at time and this apparently does not
lower the water in the least. 1t is be-
lieved it is capable of supplying sew
eral hundred gallons a minute. The
water naturally rises to within ~ feet
of the surface and the water is of the
very purest. She is now to have
erected a windmill outfit with sub
structure surmounted by a tank with
capacity of 200 barrels at a height
sufficient to throw water above the
highest point of her buildings, thus
making it invaluable for fire purposes.
