Providence Mineral Well. 
This well is situated at Providence, Richland township, in 
the southwest corner of Butler county. It is nine miles east of 
Mulvane, on the Santa Fe railroad, and six miles southwest of 
Douglass, on a branch of the same line. In 1873 C. F. Dunnell 
bored for water on the divide between Walnut and Maple 
creeks, and, striking rock at a depth of ten feet, he blasted it for 
thirty feet and then bored with a six-inch drill, when, at the 
depth of 144 feet, the drill dropped into a white sand and water 
rose in the well to a depth of eighty-four feet. 
This water was found to contain considerable mineral matter, 
so the well was abandoned ; but later the water was tried for 
medicinal purposes by the farmers in the vicinity, with such 
satisfactory results that the owner erected a windmill for pump- 
ing the water and began selling it to his customers. There is 
an abundance of free carbon-dioxid gas in the water, which 
makes it quite satisfactory as a beverage. This might also be 
classified as a chlor-sulfate water.
