ARTESiAN WELLS.
First Discovered in South Dakota ir
Year 1870.

aAS
Year 1870.
In the late 70's the soldiers and es-
pecially their wives stationed at Fl.
Randall on the Missouri River only
a few mites above the Nebraska line
were very much dissatisfied with the
water supply. In order to have bet
ter drinking water, it was finally de-
cided to sink a deep we'll, By 1891
this we'll has reached a depth of 500
feet. To the utter surprise OF all CON
cerned at $40 feet a tremendous flow
of water gushed forth and continued
for years to pour out upon the flood
plains of the Missouri. A few weeks
later the second artesian we'll in the
| state was drilled at Yankton. Be
tween 1880 and '83 a number of wells
were drilled in the southern part OF
the state along the Missouri River.
II 1888 the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railroad sunk a deep well at
lAshton striking a flow at $50 feet,
the first ~artesian well anywhere in
South Dakota outside of he flood
plain of the Missouri For ten or
! twelve years after the drilling of the
Ashton well all wells were four to
eight inches in diameter. costing on
an average of three to twelve thous'
and dollars each, The cost was pro,
+ hibitive to most OF our farmers.
In 1895 Peter Norbeck of Redfield
our present lieutenant governor
along with a MI. Erickson, establish
ed a we'll drilling outfit and introduc
!. ed small-hole drilling, two inches
more or less, in diameter. These we'll
were made with a common churn drill
OF small size but down through tn
hollow pipe water under pressure Q
!. 200 to 700 pounds was forced which
rising, carried the debris with it. Wit
this new drilling outfit it was possibi
tito sink a well a thousand feet deep !
1.-TWO or three days. The cost was r
duced from three to twelve thausan
! dollars to three or four hundred 90
