err,,—For a couple of day
this week work at the salt well was sus-
pended to afford an opportunity to do some
repairing. Operations were again re-
sumed yesterday, and last evening a depth
of some 1,450 had been reached. The in-
clinations appear to be good, and there is
now scarcely any doubt that salt has bean
found in paying quantities. Several of our
business men have signed a joint note for
11550, at six mouths for the purpose of
securing a pump to test the well, and on
the strength of this Mayor Neelands and
Mr. Boll, the contractor, starters for Sarnia
yesterday to purchase the pump. Another
50 feet or se will be drilled when the pump
will be inserted and run for a few weeks
to zest the well, and should the test prove
satisfactory a company will be formed at
once to erect buildings, etc., and go on
with the manufacture of salt.
