Will Drill A New Well.

Joseph Uhlenkott, who has
been drilling for some time on a
we'll for the city water company,
has abandoned the old well and
will drill a new one. Owing to
the amount of water in the old
we'll it was found to be necessary
to rim out the hole and put down
casing to shut off the flow of
water so that the we'll could be
sunk to a greater depth. After
going down about 25 feet the rim
bit struck a hard bowlder in one
side of the drill hole and could
go no farther as the bit kept
sliding off and making a crooked
hole. Mr.. Uhlenkott then de-
cided to abandon the hole and
forfeit all the work done on it.
He moved his drill and engine
across the creek Wednesday and
started a new we'll about $50 feet
from the railroad bridge, where
he will continue work until a
sufficient flow of water is Sc
cured.
With good luck it is expected
that the we'll can be finished dur
ing March so that the pipe fol
