down. After the water was encount-
cred an air chamber was fastened on
top of the big tube and the water has
been forced back into the ground by
air pressure that the men might work

the pressure are only able to work a

The casing or tube. which Is COM

against its side was 80 great that it
would not slide down and It was found

It is said this Is the largest well Of
the kind ever put down in the world
and that the successful conclusion Of
the work will mark another stride for
