I Decrease due to the sinking of other wells. 



* Deepened in 1886 to 775'. Stopped flowing when Zang wells were sunk. Abandoned in 1888. 



8 Water never came to surface. Muoh alkali in it, whioh rendered it unfit for drinking purposes. 

 ' Due to the sinking of a number of wells in lower ground. 



• Stopped flowing in 1885. Now 72' below surface. 



6 Decrease supposed due to a rupture in the seed-bag packing. 



7 Bose 32' above surface at start: then slowly fell and stopped in Sept., 1890. Now 2' below surface. Fell 6' when 

 Zang well was used; also known as the Denver Laud and Ice Co.'s well. 



'Had good original flow. Sunk to 525' in 1887. Stopped flowing in summer of 1889. Windmill now pumps water. 



» Flowed 30' above surface at start ; stopped May, 1890. At present 16' below surface. Will rise to surface when 

 Ice Co. '8 well is not pumped. 



ibly sunk deeper in fall of 1888. Flowed until June, 1890; at present water stands at 15' below surface. 

 Will rise to surface when Ice Co.'s well shuts down. 



II Bose 40' at start, now 12' below surface. Will rise to surfaoe when Ice Co. shuts down. Oooasionally overflows 

 during the night. 



'• Water at present is 30' below surface. 



"Decrease due to bad casing.
