30 or more wells have been drilled near Horn<br />
Springs Hotel to develop a water supply for<br />
swimming pool and hotel; any of these would<br />
have been adequate for a household well, but<br />
all but four proved inadequate for the purpose.<br />
Several water-bearing beds reported; some shallow,<br />
some near bottom of well.<br />
Most wells of the community are 60 to 75 feet<br />
deep; well on T. J. Lowery property, 2 miles<br />
north, 202 feet deep, yields highly mineralized<br />
water.<br />
