Work Suspended On City Well
city Experiment Well Down Eight
Feet-.Water Comes In So Rapidly
That New Pump Becomes Neces.
Snry.

Work was temporarily suspended on
the city experiment well this week,
not because of any failure, but be
cause of success. When a depth of
eight feet was obtained, the water
came IN so fast that the pump could
not keep 1t out fast enough for the
men to work 1t was coming In from
the sides and boiling up from the
bottom like a big spring.
The pump used had three inch
discharge, but would throw a small
irrigation stream. II is operated with
an electric motor This pump will be
substituted with a larger pump and
development work proceeded with.
Water began to come in when d
depth of but four feet had been at
tanned, and has steadily increased as
greater depth was reached The

their work well and seem to have
been a happy thought. Iron bands

side and are placed every few fee
up the slaves. AS the gravel ant
quick sand is excavated, the staye:
are driven down and an additions
iron band is added. The origina
slaves were but eight feet in length
so when the new pump is obtained
new slaves will also have to be pro
yided
The experiment Is one of the mos
important undertaken here In years
1t is being watched with great in
terest by not only local people bu
those from the out side. In man!
places in this county there are simil
ar conditions, where subterraneal
streams, but a few feet from the sur
face, with the cheap power we have
are available for irrigation purposes
An interesting feature connected wit
the city well is that the water seem
to be coming largely from the oppo
site side from where the main strcar
comes down the creek bed from tn
canyon, thus proving that the suppl
does not come from this source.
