Mary Wampsher place fronting on Mill street just east off of Newton street. The second trial will be made here and if water is not secured at a reasonable depth, another site will be selected and the well man will drill until he strikes a vein that will furnish the required amount of water to operate a waterworks system. At $4 per sot the first well has cost the town of Goodland $4 25, and as thirty per cent of the earnings is due and payable to the well man each Saturday night, we will soon begin to realize that it costs money to drill wells for waterworks.
