DRILLING A DEEP WELL
Columbus, New Mexico
February 8. 1916

To The Property Owners of The Lower
Mmbres Valley:
Whereas, r. W. Elliott now has his we'll
rig at work sinking deep we'll with the idea of
finding artesian water, and the expense of same
being too much for one man to bear when the
outcome of the drilling will benefit one property
owner as much as another efforts are being
made to raise funds to assist him in the under
taking. The residents of the Valley are all
donating very literally, and we feel that those
who do not reside here but own real estate
should feel equally interested and should be
willing to help.
The cost of the we'll will be several thous-
and dollars, and donations are solicited in any
amount you may be able to give, and the depth
of the drilling depends upon your liberality.
Donations will be received by j. L. Greenwood
of the Columbus State Bank, and must be made
in cash or check
Very Respectfully,
J l.. GREENWOOD
