Well Drillers Having Trouble.

The drillers of the deep well are
having trouble this week. After
getting down nearly $50 feet they
found that the lower joint of the
big fifteen inch casing had struck
rock or something and pushed off
to one side so that the hole was
crooked and it is necessary to take
out the casing to straighten the hole.
And this is pretty big job, but they
hope to have it completed within
a few days and will then resume
drilling.
