Well Diggers Strike Warm Water

White Pigeon, Mich., Oct. 17.- While driving a well on the farm of John Middling, near this village, F. W. Northup's men struck, at a depth of twenty-flve f eet, a stratum of coarse gravel and warm water of 98 degrees. Nothing of the kind has been before found in this section of country. Mauy speculations are rife as to the cause of this phenomenon. Goolögists hold that underlying this sheet of warm water, at no great depth, is a large quantity of soft coal, which, undergoing metamorphosis, generates sufficient heat to warm the water. It is possible that gas as well as coal may be found.
