Show H Water in Cedar Valley. K M...I.1I..I .i... B t Fairfield. Utah, April 3. Ono fact in B connection with the llohn shaft that was H sunk in the lowlands of Cedar valley m near Fairfield was overlooked and that ia B tnitt it was demonstrated for nil time to B come that underlying Cedar valley is an B cltdlc8s voluino of water, and that, too, 1 at no great depth, If this shaft of Mr B Point's were pushed on down to the H "depth of 200 feet, it would, no doubt, m ' 'atiiku an hnmcuac artesian flow of water B w Inch woi Id water thousands of acres of fl latid, and such hind us is second to none B. in the State. At the depth of fifty feet B .--Mr. Doliu encountered n great body of B BUrfncc water and after a abort delay he B put in some heavy pumping machinery B but after forty feet more was added, to B 'the bottom of the hole, nil reasonable B macninery was outdone and' tho water B volume was increased to more than 1250 B gallons per minute This lower water B rose higher in the shaft than that that B onsountored, thus proving that with B depth thi) water rises higher, and this in B connection with the fact that at 246 feet B in Fairfield a good flow is had of lirst- H clasd water, goes tn show that whether B gold is had or not under the great valley H lof fertile land hen- there ia an immense B fortune for the State in the farming that H is sure to take place here. The for- H ination of the earth here is tuch that il H is an easy matter to )iit in a boring H machine and go down thiough the water H and movo out nothing but what is re- B moved by the auger. A three-foot hole H can be sunk in this tvay and this will H furnish water enough for UOOO acres of B land, n acheme well' worth looking after. H Tiihune. |
