WELL DRILLS. 



High 

 Arm 



Above cut represents a Mounted Elliptical Well 

 Drilling and Prospecting Machine, manufactured 

 by the American Well Works, Aurora, 111., suitable 

 for 1,000 foot work, or less; can be operated by 

 independent steam, gasoline or horse power, or 

 power and machine can be mounted on same 

 trucks; will handle equally as successfully and 

 rapidly, the hydraulic, jetting, rotary, cable or 

 pole drilling tools, making it one of the best all 

 purpose drilling machines manufactured. 



Every owner of a traction engine should have 

 one of these machines, with which he can make a 

 larger per cent of profit for capital invested than 

 in any other way. 



The manufacturers would like to correspond 

 with any parties who wish to purchase a really 

 practical machine. A catalogue will be sent post- 

 age paid upon application, provided you mention 

 THE IRKIGATION AGE.

CALIFORNIA EXCURSIONS. 



Leave Chicago via the Burlington Koute (C. B. 

 & Q. R. E.) every Wednesday at 6:35 p. m. Koute 

 via Denver, Denver & Rio Grande By. and Rio 

 Grande Western Ry. (the scenic line) and Salt 

 Lake City. These excursions are accompanied by 

 an experienced agent of the Burlington Route, 

 thoroughly familiar with California. The latest 

 model of Pullman tourist sleeping cars are used. 

 They are fitted with every comfort: Carpets, up- 

 holstered seats, mattresses, pillows, bed linen, 

 toilet rooms, etc. They lack only some of the ex- 

 pensive finish of the Pullman's run on the limited 

 express trains, while the cost per berth is about 

 only one-third. Ask your nearest ticket agent for 

 particulars and descriptive folders, or write to T. 

 A. Grady, Manager Burlington Route Excursion 

 Bureau, 211 Clark street, Chicago, 111.
