Struck Hot Water.

Messrs. Smith and Bannister, while boring for artesian water on Sucker creek, a 
tributary of Little Willow, about 25 miles above Payette, struck hot water at a 
depth of 500 feet, which spurted up 18 feet from an inch and a quarter pipe.  
At a depth of 300 feet the drill passed through a four foot vein of what 
appeared to be a good quality of coal.  These gentlemen were in Payette Monday 
and had J. A. Lauer order 200 feet more of pipe.  They propose going to a depth 
of 700 feet while they are about it, and feel confident that their efforts will 
be rewarded.  The well is being sunk on the ranch of Little Bros.
