Lou Henderson tells the follow
ing story on John McFarlane, sup

John still goes on crutches because

day John was at No. 3 with his

says that n of the passengers,
thinking John was a dependent
cripple, handed him a silver dollar.
According to Louis story, John
took the dollar and hobbled along

The truth of the above depends en-
tirely upon LOUIS veracity.
The flow of water at the ~artesian
veil has increased considerably
since yesterday. and the water is
much clearer. A test made today
showed that it took less than a
minute to fill four inches of a l28

the water say that it did not have
a sulphur taste. The force is per-
forating pipe to sink inside of the
casing now in the well and it will
be a day or so before drilling is
resumed. 1t is confidently pre-
dicted that a few feet more of
drilling will bring in a gusher.
The striking of artesian water by
the Western Pacific at the depth of
$50 feet should be an incentive to
others in this section TO drill wells.
A few ~artesian wells in Elko would
cheaper our water supply and be a
powerful factor in identifying the
town. This field offers a good in
vestment for capital.

oranges, grapefruit, bananas and all
kinds of such fruits.
The land cannot be surpassed to my
mind and is far ahead of lots of lands
