Not illustrated. 1892 Excerpt: ...2,800 feet in depth, and it is proposed to continue it to a limit of about 3,000 feet, we believe, if more water is not reached short of that depth. Now, as a result of this experimental work, three heavy veins of artesian water have been located as underlying the city, the least of which will raise water to a height of 40 feet above the highest point in the city, and the deepest of which will raise water to a height of 61 feet above the highest point in the city. This remarkable discovery has been further demonstrated. First, the Texas Brewery, whose location is 50 feet lower than Tuckers Hill, sank their well to the first or top artesian vein and obtained a flow of upwards of 240 gallons per minute, with a pressure which carries the water to the top of their immense building 90 feet above the ground. Encouraged by this success, the packing-house company began a well at their house on the north side at a point 120 feet lower than the top of Tuckers Hill, and it has now been drilled through the first and second artesian veins, and it is flowing at a rate of over 800,000 gallons in twenty-four hours. They will continue the well to and through the lower artesian vein, when the flow will (if the Tucker Hill discoveries bold good for the north part of the city) be fully 1,500,000 gallons in twenty-four hours. The packing-house well is undoubtedly now flowing more water in twenty-four hours than any other artesian well in the State of Texas by at least one-third, and when the third artesian vein is reached it will be the "Jumbo," the geyser well of the State. The city experiment has demonstrated that Fort Worth has the artesian water in quantities sufficient to supply a city of 1,000,000 people should occasion ever require it. Ten wells located down in...
