Abilene Artesian Well, Dickinson County. 
In the fall of 1901 the Abilene Oil and Gas Company drilled 
a five-inch well, or prospect hole, 1260 feet in depth. A pipe 
twenty feet long extended above the surface of the ground, and 
the water rises in tihe well and overflows this pipe. It was pro- 
posed to drive the boring still deeper, but on account of the dis- 
covery of such an abundant salt-water supply, the work has 
been stopped for the present. ‘The water is nearly clear, and 
has a salt and astringent taste. The reaction is strongly acid, 
and upon being heated the water becomes yellow from the pres- 
ence of iron chlorid, and gives off free hydrochloric-acid gas.
