BOW MDIG artesian Wells h. Interesting and instructive tn 'nets the process whereby an artesian M is constructed. The well 'thaVhav contract for locating an !rtXan well for the 0R4N at the I railroad yerds, have reached a debt of 1 150 feet having been in actual operation pseven and one half days. They are still in the gravel-aand ttratum wh'ch they 'entered at the surface. WMe the various strata are pliable. the f7pmg will be a ten inch side. The drill is about six- inches in diameter and when it has worked its way into the ground some distance, a pan is let down which scoops the mud. When this operation has increased the depth of the hole abotins. So slow is the descent of this casing, thatjleach time the hammer falls, there is no perceptible drop of the pipe. 'Should the diggers encounter a hard stratum the size of the casing will reduce conform with the size of the hole drilled, for ths casing cannot be forced thru rock. As- cording to the contract, the well is only a iittieTnore than one tenth finished. mmm sale Everything in my millinery store will be sold at a reduced price for the next thirty days. Mrs. J. R.
