WELL DOWN 80 FEET

Nothing definite has been
learned of the progress of the
artesian well machine since their
return to work with the pump to
get rid Of the sand.
LATER a. S. Swain came up
from Windy Point last night and
reports the work on the artesiar
well progressing very satisfac-
tory They are now down 800
feet and are going through a clay
formation and anticipate a flow
Within @ short distance. The
work Is temporarily delayed on
account Of losing q coil steel
spring from the sand bucket
which they feared would cause
them trouble unless removed.
Mr. Swain is up to secure O.
maene, with which they hope 10
withdraw the spring.
According to Mr.. Swain they
are now below the temporary
flow struck in the quicksand or
gravel before when the water
would flow out during the pro
ce of drilling. The casing has
been driven past this flow shut
