Prof. WeIIborn. late Of the Texas A. q

e-coassfr71 wells Ia Texas fin the region
southwest of here. but right around
the town many people have put down
wells with success. including MIS- Bet
ffe White who contracted to spend
Ps00 for q well and struck the water
at such a shallow depth that she got
two for the price, the driller moving
his RE some distance away and COM
pIeting a second well so that each
wen cost her but $3.50. Each well
was brought in at a depth less than
100 feet
