A leak in the artesian well at the,
mill of Ashton is causing the residents
Of that town some uneasiness. The
leak was first discovered through a
spring which gushed forth al a dis
lance of 400 feet from the well. The
water in the well is heavily permeated
With natural gas, n it is supposed
the leak is due to this cause. AS the
Well has a great pressure some un-
easiness is felt lest the leak become
more extensive and cause serious dam
age.
In the summer of 1904 an artesian
we'll was sunk on the ranch Of the
Iowa Live Stock and Investment COM
pany, eight miles southwest of Bangor,
In Walworth county. At the time 1t
was noticed that the water was strong
|iy with gas, but no at
tempt was made to utilize it until re-
Gently. Last week the manager Of the
ranch piped the gas into his house and
1T furnishes enough light and heat to
run the building.
The farm of DR.. d. w. c. Fowler in

from ten acres of ground and is be-
lieved to have beaten the South Da-
