Mr. F.H* Kniekerbo eker* ’belike* f# the ease on account of the fact that each year since this well has been brought in we have had annually a deluge of a and, which this yea? did not occur* the examination and blow* teg of this well could be done with approximately a very small cost* which 1 would recommend. It is thoroughly demonstrated here in our artesian belt that the blowing of send from drilled wells hm materially increased the water flow. 1 would particularly call your at* tention to the well on tue old Kyle ranch* which we formerly owned but disposed of* At the time it was cold the well was flowing 48 manor's incites and almost two years age hr .lark, the purchaser, had the well blown for sand* increasing the flow from 48 to fig miner's inches and the well at tee present time is flow* teg 68*. This is only one. of a number of similar cases end if we can by blowing our large arte&iau well bring tee flow back to approximately what it was it will save us tee trouble at this time* or next year* of drilling another well. during br.boyle* visit here he located two different spots for tee drilling of two wells rnimi necessary. in this connection 1 herewith attach a statement of our water system for 11 months of the year 1Q&6 and January IPS?* showing returns on tee investment amounting to about 2te net. However* if the conter^lated plan is carried out for an in* crease in rental to be charged by tee Bnllrcad against tee las Vegas land A Water Company* it will almost wipe out our net revenue. The proposed increase of $3606*06 per year in the chart-;* for water mentioned in your letter of fun© 2Sv4* file O03*3S8, in ®y opinion# is entirely too much of a horizontal raise and 1 kindly ask that very careful consideration be given 'before we are required to meet that amount of annual rental* As requested in your letter* 1 herewith return Mr. letter.
