This well had a connection with the Grand Trunk Well, about ten rods 

 distant from it. When the water was let into the latter well, by drawing 

 the tubing, this well stopped flowing. But when the tubing was replaced 

 in the Grand Trunk and the pumps started, the Porter Well would again 

 begin to flow.
