J. M. Hahn, the well digger, re-
turned to st. Mary's, Mo-, last Mon
day, where he is engaged in digging
a well for the Schaaf Milling Co. at
that place. He told us that the well
he is digging was then 1876 feet deep
and that he is still digging. Mr.. Hahn
also informed us that the milling
company has just let the contract for
the erection Of another steel elevator
this one to have a capacity of 10O,-
900 bushels of wheat. The old wood
en- elevator, we understand, will be
torn down to make room for the new
steel structure. The Schaaf Milling

each with capacity Of $4,000 bush
els, and with the new one, for which
the contract has just been let, that
milling firm will have elevator ca
pacity for 100000 bushels of wheat.
