townsite on the north. Mr.. Sigh,
tire driller reports a very good flow.
for the first one The well Is about
$50 feet deep. ana the hoW was
struck at some unknown point BE-
tween $50 and $50. After drilling 10
this depth. the well was reamed out.
and casing put in. and day or two
ago drilling was resumed.
Not content with having the largest
we'll in the valley-one With fi3w
Of over 200 ga Ions per minute-T. +.
Garrett is still drilling deeper in his
well. anout four miles northwest or
the city. The last flow was struck
At ea0 ftet. which is The greatest
depth at which any low has been
obtained IN the San Simon a,
Relieving that more flows could be
secured by drilling deeper. Mr.. Gar
rett decided TO drill on indefinitely.
Ard at the last accounts, after drill
aug some rather hard rock. cay had
appeared, and the prospects for an
other flow were very good. So Mr.
Garrett is very hopeful and all ST.
monites are watching development
with n great deal OF interest ana

weeks OF work. owing TO an accident

On resumin-, 100 feet was drilled
the first day. and depth Of $50 feet
was reached. Some trouble Is beine

engine. and il is expected that
new one will have 10 be ordered Il
possib e, however, the old one will
be used until the new one arrives

For the purpose OF making a tho
