This spring is fed by five or six small cues, each measuring from five inches to one foot in diameter. The water is conducted into a reservoir and then conveyed to the city by iron pipes. Presuming that this reservoir has been captured by the Japanese, the Russians still possess eleven wells in Port Arthur. The water obtained from these wells contains more or less sait, lime, and sulphuric acid, and only four of them furnish drinkable water.
