The Spokesman for good printing A dispatch from Summer Lake of recent date says: Antics of tho earth'» crust have caused John I’ar- tln uml I I. Hale to abandon their efforla to »Ink an arteslau well o i the Partin ranch at the north end of Hummer l-ake. Mr. Partin be lieved that the ranch waa trying to bury Itself, and Mr Hale was In fet r that hla drilling machinery might sink with the earth Work was started on the well sev eral weeks ago and soon after the earth begun to crumble and alnk around the rasing Then the whole surface sagged (wo feet for aeverel rods In all directions from the dr!!.'. Partin and Hale became frightened, pulled up the casing and withdrew. There are more than 30 artealan wells In the Summer Lake district and each hole shows a different earth formation or a different flow. On (he ranch of L. Kllppel hole» were leired for three artealan wells A strong flow of good water waa dis covered In one, a flow equally s i strong, hut of different kind of w p ter was struck In the second and th-- drillers encountered gas In the third w ell. Summer Lake Is at the foot of a towering rlmrock It Is so pregnat- ed with mineral, soda and salts that flsh cannot live In the water Geol ogists say that the lake and sur $1.80 PER YEAR rounding valley at one time were on a level with the top of Ihe rlmrock hut gradually sunk away and aro still sinking at the rate of a fraction of an Inch each year. The exper ience at the Partin ranch seems to corroborate this theory. Now. ranchers are asking whether their urteslan wells should not 1». capped when not needed for Irriga tion, aa they believe the crust of the earth covering the artesian pocket Is ko thin that It may crumble when the water Is exausted. At one place the artesian water Is so dose to the nurface that a flowing well was dis covered at 36 feet. Scientists hold that the present generation of Sum mer Lake la out of danger. Wltn one well flowing on every ten acre» of l»nd In the valley, according to the scientific estimate. It would be something like 5000 year» before the water la exhausted. Ilesldea, It la argued, the water Is continually re plenishing Itself.
