people were in despair, but again APP
pealed to the government g%eologist.
Mr.. Harton expressed his belief that
the main flow from the lower sand
stone was good and that, as the low
er portion of the we'll was not cased,
the mineral matter had come down
from the red beds above the water
bearing sandstone. Accordingly he
advised the sinking of a casing so as
to cut off the source of contamina-
ton. This was done, and with the
most satisfactory results.
All of which goes to show the i'm
mense economic Importance of the
underground water studies of the
federal geological survey and to what
extent science may be depended up
on to point the way for the practical
development of natural resources.

WRECK ON MILWAUKEE,
Engine on Through Stock Train
Jumped the Track at Virgil
Engineer Burns Hurt.

A bad accident happened on the
Chicago, Milwaukee s. st Paul rail-
road Tuesday morning two miles
north Of Virgil, in which Engineer
Burns was severely injured.
The train was a through stock
engines. Two miles north of Virgil
the second engine jumped the track
as the train was going a very fast
clip. The engine rolled over on its
of stock. Engineer Burns, who is
a Young man, was unable to jump
from his engine. as did the fireman,
but was pinned in his cab beneath
the weight OF iron. Both legs were
crus' ed and his body scalded with
the aping steam. 1t was a matter
of / ar hours before he could be
rescued a large number of the
cattle were killed i'm the stock cars.
Shortly after the accident happened
a wrecking crew was sent from this
city to the scene of the wreck. The
cause Of the accident is unKnoMn.
A special lralu was brought down
from Virgil at 1890 O'Clock bringing
in Engineer Burns, who was so
severely injured. He was taken ont
to the hospital at once and physicians
summoned to attend to mis- injuries.
Aside from the crushing Of his limbs
the engineer was sGaldcd so badly
that there seems to be 10 hope for
his recovery, according to the state
ment of tie physician in charge OF
the case. He lives at Lake City,
Mimi
A special train was run to Sioux
City at IL 80 O'Clock, and it is
thought that the wreck would be
cleared up so that the north train
would be able to get to Mitchell late
this afternoon, There are q number

vention on the train who will miss

in Their Grove

Beginning with July II the South
Dakota Holiness Association will
start its series of meetings in the
beautiful grove about three miles
northeast Of the city. For several
years the association has held its
meetings in this city under a tent
on the south side. Last year a tent
was not available at the time and the
meetings were held in the old Metho-
dist CHURCH. Since that time the
association officers have purchased a
fine plot Of ground on Rock Greek,
which has been laid out in lots and
streets, all of which is encircled by
a fierce and many other improve
ments have been made, notable
among which is the erection of an
eating house and sleeping apart
ments. Next yea it is the intention
to raise the funds for the constTuc-
tion IF d large tabernacle on the
grounds in which TO hold the meet
ings This year a tent of sufficiently
large proportions has been secured
for the sessions of the association.
The president is Rev. J. e Nor
veil, Of Ashton, and the secretary
is r. A. Leggett, of Pierre. Rev.
Mr.. Carradine has been secured as
the evangelist for the week, who is
REGARDED as n of the strongest
speakers Of an evangelistic nature
who has been secured by the associa-
tinn. There will be inspiring singing
c. inected with the meetings.
Mr.. Norvell extends a sincere in
vi alton to the people of Mitchell to
attend the meetings, believing they
will be helped and that they will also
help an association that will eventn-
ally assume a very high position in
the state in the matter Of drawing
crowds to the grounds. He believes
that in the years to come that
these meetings will draw all the
way from 1900 to 5000 people from
all parts of the country.

BEST WATER MADE
Black Hills Geologist Gave Well
Diggers Tip 5000 Feet
Deep.

Washington, d. c., July 16.-The
Black Hills region of South Dakota is
a dry country and the water supply
problem is in many cases a serious
one. Several years ago the Burling-
ton road, which runs through the
south end of the Black Hills, con-
Guided to sink a we'll and applied to
the United States geological survey
for advice as to the underground con-
ditions. N. H. Harton, a survey geo.
logist who has spent some years
studying the geology of the Dakotas
made the prediction that the region
of the proposed we'll site was UNDER
lain by water-bearing sandstones
which at a depth not greater than
5000 feet, would probably furnish a
good supply of water, so the well was
bored. Mr.. Harton said some water
might be struck in the red sandy
limestones of the carmoniferous for
nation, and this was the case; but
he advised that provision should be
made to bore to the lower sa%ndstones,
the base of which would probably be
encountered at a depth Of about
5000 feet.
The water was found in these
sandstones, known as the Deadwood
formation, which began at 1920 feet
and was penetrated to a total depth
of 1850 feet, when the flow of the
we'll amounted to 100000 gallons a
day under a pressure of rs pounds,
giving an ample supply for the rail-
roads needs and constituting one of
the most noteworthy artesian wells of
the country. The water is of a uniform
temperature of 1872 degrees Fahren-
heit, and a good quality, and the sup
ply fully justifies the great expense
Of the undertaking.
Several times the projectors of the
enterprise were on the point of CIV
ing up the work, but they were urged
to continue the geologist being conf
dent that the prospects warranted
boring to the lowest stratum.
When the great flow was struck,
after boring more than 1880 feet,
the water proved bad; it was impreg-
mated with mineral matter and val
ueless for boiler use. The railroad
