Three miles apart, both tap differing formations with lime predominance. No. 1 yields about 30,000 gallons daily, No. 2 about 140 gallons per minute. Water is clear and 60 degrees, with Well No. 2 showing 72 degrees in some samples. Artesian potential noted across Lincoln and Clark counties, urging further sinking for irrigation and proof of abundant underground flows in the Vegas valley and Muddy River region.
