Austin Well
Date: 1974
Creator: unknown
Description: Photo taken of the Austin Well in 1974. On back of photo is written; "Looking south shows remains of Austin Well in the foreground with the remains of the crystal plant. Across the street may be seen the St Regis box plant." This well had a unique and romantic history. A cowboy rode a blind horse into Mineral Wells and auctioned her off for a dollar and a half. Mr. Austin acquired the horse and put her to work drawing water from a wheel which was attached a rope pulling a bucket of water from the well with each revolution. Nellie was trained to pause at a point in her circular route long enough for the bucket to be emptied, then continue to pull the next bucket when it was filled. She was retired in her old age, but continued to walk a similar circular route in the pasture to which she was retired, pausing in each revolution as before, until her death. Texas Packaging Co. Inc. has occupied the box plant since 1980.
