Show AMERICAN FORK ITEMS. American Fohk, Aug. 7. Special correspondence. The water well which is being sunk by the town authorities authori-ties has reached a depth of 395 feet. At a depth of 892 foot a very hard rock was struck, which makes bor'uig difficult, diffi-cult, and the drill does not penetrate the rock, which is cilicate cement, faster than four inches a dav. Thero are great hopes of striking a' lino How of water after this stratta has been passed, tho supposition being that this is the cap rock which took the shape of the valley at the time the greut basin was being tilled in. The Independent, the new newspaper, news-paper, is ably edited and tho accepted champion of the advancement of tho town. Several parties are here looking over the mines iu American Fork canyon, and changes in ownership are talked of. A man who likes spring chicken for his meals, but does not like lo liquidate for the dainty morsel, was caught the other night in the act of coveting lo himself the inmates of tho roost of onother fellow citizen, who belabored the intruder with a club and sent him down the street at a 2:16 gait. |
