Artesian Wells at Magnolia.
Dr. E. F. Darby,.of Lynchburg, who was
io town Monday, told the reporter of the very
successful molt of an attempt to bore arte
sian wells at Magn?im Four wells bave
been pat down aod all of tbem proved to be
Sowing wells. In 3 of tbem water rises from 2
to three feet above the ground and give
streamsvary i og from two to four gallons of
water p?r minute. Tbe fourth well, on the
piace of Mr. T. N. Griffin, a short distance
frote Magnolia, gives a stream of tour gallons
per minute that rises thirteen feet above the
surface of tbe ground Tbe water from the
wells is clear and pure, without any apparent
trace of mioeral. It is very light and palata
ble and much superior in every way to tbe
water obtaioed from the ordinary wells.
Tbe wells were sunk with comparatively
little difficulty, only one stratum of rock
having been struck in any one of tbem. At
tbe depth of sixty feet a stratum of sandstone,
about fourteen fret in thickness, was struck
wbicb was pierced without any great labor.
Tbe remainder of the distance the drilling
was through ciay, gravel and s^nd. The
water bearing stratum, from which the -.ells
obtain tbe flow was peaetrated at a depth of
125 to 140 feet.
The welis are not at ??1 expensive, when
the cbarac-er of the water h considered and
tbe convenience of having aiwave at hand un
abundant sopply of pure water without the
labor of pumping or drawing. The wells
cost S50 tor tbe Srst 0 feet or less, and fifty
cents ner foot ?cr e??ch additional foot.
A number of we?s will oe put-down in the
vicinity of Magnolia oy parties who have
decided to obtain a pure and unfailing sup
olv of wa?er th.it is to be bad at such small
exoense. To? example of Magnolia will
fut>ubt!es<* be followed by other communities,
where the water obtained from the o?d fash
ioned welle aod pump3 is cot above the suspi
aop of malaria.
