Show Auother Artesian Well. YeBterday we learned of tbe successful suc-cessful boring ot auothor artesian well, this time in a locality where a supply of frood water will be a veritable veri-table bonauz-t. Tueodore Letson & Co., thu company numbering five; have recently taken up a section of land, tinder the homestead act, ten miles du. w.st from the temple block in thi city. Oj tne 13th of the p rea.it mouth they commenced boring bor-ing and yesterday reached a depth of forty-aevea feet and a good stream of pure, fresh water. The pipe used by the gentlemen is 8j inches in dt-, aiueter and the flow is a strong ! one, yet they intend to go 1 deeper and endeavor to increase it Their labor ai not done on full time. At the depth last reached they found brushwood and bark, intermixed inter-mixed with suail shells and pebbles, though the soil immediately above wau of rich black subatance. This woll, with a good-sized stream, will be the means of aiding in reclaiming a vast Iract of valuable land out there and repy the company at no distant day a thousandfold for their enterprise. |
