TO ANALYZE WATER.

for period of three months the drill

Thursday the compressed air pump
was attached to the we'll and in test
which lasted from then until Saturday
morning at 7 o'clock fqw of 500
to 900 gallons minute was obtained,
which indicates that the well is mex
haustible. The we'll is 10 inches in
diameter and goes through a strata
of rock so feet thick into sand, where
water was obtained
The water is much clearer than that
usually found in a new we'll, and a
trace of sulphur can be detected in it.
1t has better taste than that of the
old well and seems to be of superior
quality. The city authorities will have
an analysis made of the water, and if
| it is found to be superior to the water
from the old we'll it will be used for
domestic purposes.
The we'll is located in front of the
city's light plant near the Seaboard
tracks. A concrete basin will be built
around the we'll, and the water will be
allowed to fall into this and run into
the cistern by gravity This will elm
mate the sand which will come from
| the well for some weeks
With two wells working in co-ordi-
nation Dawson will have water sup
ply of 1000 gallons minute, which
will greatly lessen the danger from
/ fire and should cause a reduction in
insurance rates.
At a special meeting of the city
council Saturday the we'll was formal
! ly accepted from the contractor, W..
| r. McGrew, OF Townsville. The cost
of the we'll was about $500.
