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.
