FLOWING WELL

Superintendent Pogue of the City Water Works Strikes Flowing Well.

While putting on the final touches to one of the wells now being dug by Superintendent Pogue of the city water works, and his crew of men, last Saturday a genuine flowing well was discovered which emitted a gentle flow of pure water out of the five inch pipe which is sunk to a depth of 108 feet. The water does not gush out of the pipe, but a steady flow is noticeable and ditches have been dug to carry it away. Mr. Pogue reports that five of the wells are completed already and says that indications are that the other one will be finished by the end of the week.
