the other. and probably both, underlie the big
artesian basin.
A meeting mas Just been held at which the hrst
decisive steps were taken along this line. a
company being formed with capital Of $2bO,O0o.
and the following officers elected: F. G. Fischer,
president; Warren Young. secretary. and DR.. 9.

tors.
1t is planned to use the present city we'll, con-
tnuing the drilling from where the artesian flow
is struck at the company's expense, to suf-
ficient depth to strike oil or dry gas or forever
disprove the theory that these resources exist
| If nothing comes Of the project the pipe can
be perforated at the level of the artesian basin
| and the well put to the use for which it was
originally intended
/ This is long step forward and means much
for central South Dakota, if the undertaking
