EVANS WATER SUPPLY.
Remarkable Reservoir Fed by Artesian
Wells.

Denver.-A Republican special says:
The placing of big cement reservoir
fhirty-eight feet deep and ten feet in
diameter for the purpose of holding
the city water of Evans was accom-
plished in n novel way and completed
on the 9Th inst.
Two years ago the town of Evans
put down several wells 1875 feet to sup
ply the town with water. Surafce wa
ter finally filed the wells and made
them unsanitary. Recently four other
wells 230 feet deep were sunk to bed
rock and flow OF artesian water OBJ
tained. Around the wells was built
the cement reservoir.
1t was constructed by outlining its
dimensions with meshed wire, which
forms the center for the circular wall
of cement one foot thick and thirty
eight feet high. When the cement cir
Gle was thoroughly dry workmen dug
away the earth inside 1t to depth OF
thirty-eight feet, the structure sinking
by its own weight gradually into place.
Seepago water was encountered to-
ward the last. but this was pumped out
and the cement bottom laid. Into this
big cement tank artesian water is let
at will and the result is satisfactory.
TIE supply is said to be sufficient for
town ten times the size OF Evans.

down decision in which he refused to
grant an injunction against the treas

that the land owners will fight the
case, and IL defeated, will appeal to the
