WELL DRILLING SUPPORTS
ARTESIAN WATER THEORY

How far is it from the earth's
surface on a level in the Colville
valley? This question ought to in
terest every one and it does interest
geologists. About year ago }.
A. C. Acorn solved this problem, or,
rather, he answered this question,
when he caused well to be driven
on his farm, formerly owned by l..
Perras about one mile west of town.
The first 16 feet were sunk
through the top soil or aluvial lake
deposit. At this depth a stratum of
quicksand about 6 feet thick was
encountered and thence for about
300 feet the drill penetrated de-
post of blush clay which rested up
on the second deposit of 8 feet of
quicksand, and this in turn was sus-
tanned upon solid bedrock of blush
limestone. Excepting the flow Of
water in the upper stratum of
quicksand there was little moisture
in the drill hole until the bottom
quicksand was reached when there
was found an artesian flow with
pressure sufficient to raise the
water, cool and refreshing, to
height of upwards of 20 feet above
the top of the casing.
About twenty years ago, it is
said, a we'll was drilled to a depth
Of about 1,20O feet on the Hurlbert
dairy farm mile north of Colville
The first 28 feet near the rocky
bluff were found to be six feet of
top soil and % feet Of hardpan and
joint clay in which there was
scarcely seepage sufficient to keep
the drills cool in the we'll. At
depth of 240 feet, over 200 feet of
which was in solid rock, water was
encountered which rose to the sur
face with pressure strong enough
to reach dozen feet above the sur
face. Apparently no water came in
to the well after the 240 feet depth
was passed for nearly 1000 feet.
The well was sunk as a test for oil,
but the formation was an alterna-
tion of limestone and quartz and
the company abandoned the project
for want of funds with which to
prosecute the work further.
These two demonstrations seem to
support the theory that the Colvile
valley would yield aitesian water in
abundance if project to increase
the water supply were judciously
exploited.

CRIMSON: MIR. WILSON'S PHYSICIAN

A man who can serve one presi- dent as naval aid and physician is en- titled to consideration. A man who can serve three presidents so different in temperament as Theodore Roose- welt, William Fl.

 Carey Travis Grayson, rear ad- miral, M. D., Ph. G., F. A. c. s., U. S.
