“Bosque and ‘Somervell counties head the list of artesian wells, having 
between one and two hundred already flowing from depths of 100 to 
600 feet. One well in Bosque county is on a hill top, 250 feet above the 
level of the surrounding creeks — 'is 800 feet deep, and yields a good flow 
of water. 
“Two fine wells have been bored on one of the highest points around 
Waco, one of them about 1500 feet deeip, with fiowing water from both. 
“The last well at Gralveston promises to be the best of all dug up to 
the present in yield of water. 
“The wells at Yorkto'wn are shallower even than those at Houston. The 
water is found under a very impervious stratum of clay, which shows no 
evidence of moisture, even within three or four inches of the water bed.”
