The Search for water on the Canadian plains

Appearing in volume 1, issue 1 of Saskatchewan History on pages 4 to 7, items are transcriptions of documentation that concern attempts by the territorial government of the North-West Territories to obtain well boring machines to test for water in different areas. Included are a cover letter from petitioners [signatories identified] from Round Plain the the Touchwood Hills to Edgar Dewdney (Minister of the Interior) requesting an auger to perform these functions; a letter from John R. Hall (acting deputy minister of the interior) to R. B. Gordon (secretary to the lieutenant governor of the North West Territories) offering two well boring machines to the territorial government; the response of R. B. Gordon to John R. Hall's offer of two well boring machines; and rules and regulations on managing such machinery. A brief introduction to the documents is provided by Lewis H. Thomas and are accompanied by the reproduction of an image identified as a "government well drilling machine at Carmel School north of Moose Jaw."
