HISTORY OF MESA TRACT
PAID FOR BY COUNCIL
City Obtained for $300 and a
Special Act of Congress
Land on Which Several
Thousands Have Been Spent
The action of the city council
Tuesday night In paying over Ihe
iuil lo the government necessary to
comply with the special act of con
gress ami obtain patent to thn PI
acres of hind known as the military
1,0.1 she on Ihe mesa six miles east
of the city, recalls the fact lhat Al
butiierttie barely missed hating one
of the big military posts of the west
established here. In place of it the
city received n very valuable tract of
land which will be more and more
valuable with the passing ot every
year.
' From 1!'U on lo 1o the Com
mercial club was constantly on the
trull of H military post, which it was
considered would prove a very valu
able asset In tlie city. 'ur upplu u
llona were on filu constantly In the
war department and were kept active
by I'omtncictul club members and
commlltct b. until in Ihe eurly months
of 1 '.." u special cumtnisHiuii of
army engineers was sent here lo
make an Investigation. The engi
neers went over thu situutioii care
fully and prepared a report favor
aide to A lbutUcriue. The chief ol
staff of the army nnd the generula
tomiiiiiniliiiK the western division vis
ited the city und finally asked for u
site. The foiiimert iai club commil
tee, headed by ii. I.. Brooks, offered
three sites, t,nc north, one south and
one east of the city, and the latter
finally was selected hy Ihe visiting
licnerals ua most desirable. An en
tire township was set uattte ut the
reipiest of Ihe war department which
tlr ma niled that the city tl, inonstiate
an adequate water supply on the
ground Itself A well waa sunk on
Ihe northwest corner of the PJ acres
now owned by the city, the well be
ing exactly W miles from the Kama
Ke tracks ut Central avenue. The
follow inn report on that well by thv
man who drilled It Is Interesting us
showing not only the water supply
available for Improving this trie t,
hut tha water supply atalluble !r

sooner or later will make the vast

report is:

Dear Hlr:
j I hate to report that from the date
Octoher 17, when I was placed In
charge of the operative work at the
well on the mesa ut the proopsed site
for a military post. I was present
prai-ticiilly all the time until the
completion of the work, and I will
not enter Into details nf the many
dlt fh'iilt lea encountered in order to
get through Ihe tii,'ks.- nil after It
I wag struck at a ib pib of III feet.
, All difficulties were finally overcome
land a flist-t lass well put into oper-
Phi.-,
ation gnd Is now in shape lo update
ut any time
I continued the sinking i.f the well
from where Ihe 0lcksaud was found
at 4 1 Icet for Ik feel mi lies, so
Unit the bottom of th Strainer Is
now at a depth of 4.12 leel H Inches
from the surface. Hlx-lnch casing
was sunk tn this depth and then after
the strainer was put In It was raised
so lhat the bottom of the isslng s
now 4 .'a feet from tha surface.
Ilelow Ihe iulcksnntl we tame lo a
stratum of splendid water gravel
from 6 In X feet I h It k and probably
still thicker had we continued to
go down Into II. This gravel was
free from any quaksand and the
water was clear almost from the
minute we commenced to pump.
We pumped, using an old gasoline
engine aa power for IS consecutive
hours, the well pipe being Inches
In diameter: the stroke waa 12 inch
es. t tn the minute, and the stream
of water was steady Irom liegintiiiig
to end, allowing no Interruption or
Indication nf siting out. and I am
satisfied Would be cuniinuoiis without
any break if Ihe pumping hail gone
on for months or years. And, more
over, I have no doubt that the same
would tie true If the strainer and
pipe had been of sufficient sine I"
produce n much larger stream. As
an Indication of Ihe sine of the stream
under the stroke given I may add
that during the entire time nf pump
ing It wiiultl fill a lu-gnllon hand
every i minute.
We could have continued piimplnu
24, .14, 7 2 or any number of con
secutive hours had it not been that
the old engine we had completely
broke down at the end of fifteen
hours.
Acc irdmg to your insirut linns I let
the 3-lm h well pipe and the 1
inch w leu pump roil In the casing.
Hush with the gurlace; atUched an
other piece of casing to the top, so
that this casing now Mantis hi the air
about eight feet above the sulfate
anil in the top of this Joint of casing
I screwed In an Iron plug which can
not bo taken out except by Instru
ments which will have lo be sent
from this city, lor which reason
there Is no danger of anvnpe Injur
ing or tampering with the well ex
cept by authority, and yet it is io
such shape that within an limirn
lime power can be attutheil ami
pumping continued ludef imtely.
I attach lo ..ml make part of this
report the afllilatils of the two men
who were In my employ and helping
at Ihe time the run i,( 11 houta
pumping was made.
Respectfully submitted.
