Artesian Water for Minneapolis. — Wincbell. 279 
Cannot Be Pumped 200 Feet Up. — Some have brought the 
objection against these wells, namely, those about 200 feet, that 
there is a mechanical obstacle which cannot be overcome, in 
the fact, as assumed, that the water must be pumped 200 feet 
from its starting point, but this objection rests upon a misap- 
prehension of the fact that the water does not have to be 
pumped from 200 feet underground. It rises to the surface 
or near the surface and can as easily be pumped as any water 
at the surface. 
Contaminated by Sewage. — It has been stated that the sewers 
of the city excavated in the St. Peter sandstone below the Tren- 
ton limestone would more or less affect the waters that would 
be derived from the St. Peter sandstone and render them 
objectionable for city uses. There are two or there mis- 
apprehensions involved in this objection. First, the sewers 
are practically watertight, or become so at least after a 
List of Wells Less Than 450 Feet Deep.

(Wells are nearly all cased to the Shakopee Limestone and generally not tested 
at 200 or 250 feet.)
