After boring 55 feet on the we'll that is
being sunk for the township of North
ampton flow of water was secured, this
being somewhat sooner than was sx-

iron in it, and the engineer thinks there
will be better showing when 80 feet are
sunk, at which depth the next boring will
stop at. There will probably be iron in
the water at that depth. At the bunga-
low of Mr.. Hall on the Jobstown road |
excellent water is being procured, but
the well was sunk very deep and the
contractor says he struck the Columbus
stratum, which he AYERS we can get if we
60 deep enough. The we'll is being sunk
on the property of the Mount Holly |
Water Company, in the rear of the re
ceiving tanks.
