TO MAKE BoRINGS
Well Dredging Outfit Has Been
Received at Fort
Madison.

There was great scene of activity
this morning about the dock of the
Tolchester Steamboat Co. This undue
display of energy was occasioned by
the receipt of the final shipment of
supplies to the Eastern Well Company.
which is TO do the boring off Of the
old Fort Madison sight for the purpose
of learning the underlying soil.
The consignments consisted of ma
chinery of many kinds generally used
in sinking wells or prospecting for
pay dirt. 1t includes regular we'll
drilling outfit and dry pumps for the
purpose of bringing up samples of the
material encountered at every step of
the proceedings. Owing TO the diff
cuIties under which the work will
have to be prosecuted, it was found
necessary to secure several cask floats
or platforms on which the men en-
ployed will work. The soundings will
be made several hundred feet from
land and work will probably be fre-
quentIy interrupted by rough weather.
The purpose of the borings is to as
certain the nature of the soil with ref
erence to Its fitness to carry heavy
foundations. The foundations will
support the navy experimental station,
which it is intended TO establish al
that point. AS soon as these soundiDgs
and borings have been completed work
will be started on the building. A
force of a dozen men are employed on
this incidental work and they began
this morning the erection of the small
houses in which they will live. Mr..
L. W. Downin, manager Of the COM
pany, is in charge OF the work.
