Five wood fenceposts[?] stick up out of the ground near the opening of the well. Trees are visible in the background. Photoprint reads: "Dug probably about 1828".; "...Mr. Pierce writes: 'I ran across it at Torres, east of Palm Springs in 1903. The approach down the steps was 20 feet below the top and the water stood 50 feet below that.
