ARTESIAN WELLS.
■..-.. - * TO THE EDITOB. ■i - Sir,—l see by a local in your columns " this morning "that owing'to the stoppage of , the wells at Victoria Lake, ths well at the •Muaeraii 'has risen one and a half inches. If ' this is so. it must be, a very, sensitive •well, " for as a matter of fact only "two out of the ' six vreHs at "Victoria Laks hare been plug- ', gad, aa we could net get at the others fivrwg ■ to the depth of water and the growth x>f. ireed in the Lake. When we consider the 'distance of the Lake wells from the Museum, ■ : «Ki" aateo that they are only first stratum ,iwellfc, it seems somewhat unlikely that the stoppage of • two of them can affect the Museum well, since there are over 4000 other - wells in the City of C&sristefrarch proper, 'and as many more in the adjoining • ■baroagha. Possibly the observed] rise was ' 'due to a change on tie barometric pressure, !and not to the reason mentioned.—l am, " «*»> - ( * OAKLEY ARCHER. - |. Ogiaiidsiich, June 28.'
