There are now eight artesian
wells in the neighborhood of Prine
ville. The latest addition is on the
D. P. Adamson ranch north of
town, where a strong flow came to
the surface Friday as the well was
being baled.
It is a six inch hole drilled to the
depth of 270 feet and located just
above the irrigation ditch between
the Smith and Nohle ranches. The
Rosenberg flow is about the same volume as
that of Wigle's well and is free
from a mineral taste. A strange
