We visited the well in question ana
made measurements showing the depth
to be l.6ii feet. with 6% casing down
90 that depth.
The conditions seemed TO ny to be
favorable to sinking the well 10 the
depth first intended, Of $500 feet, pro
yided sumcient funds can he furnished
10 purhcase the casing and meet the
otrer necessary eXpenss.
Mr.. lIardcnberk the mn ina charge Of
the drilling. does not think Il safe 70
sink the cas- casing 10 lower depth
than O. now is, because Of the eanger
Of collapse OF the casing. on account
OF the pressure az that depth This
makes it necessary that the sic cas-
ing be used IN the future. so long as
caNing continues
Mr.. Hardenberg, suggested that 1000
feet of this casing would possibly be
suficient. as ne thinks he win soon be
into hard rock The pricoof this casing
they say. is i5c per foot. delivered in
lcar-lo;s.
We hnd from the contract that they
are employing three men, paying mom
cach SEQ per month ana a fourth man.
