Cooper’s Well is the most
noted mineral water in the United States; It is in the county of
Hinds, State of Mississippi, fourteen and a half miles southwest of Jackson,
and four miles from Raymond, the county seat, a station on the line of
the Natchez, Jackson & Columbus Railroad. Persons desiring to visit
Cooper’s Well will leave trains at Raymond, on Natchez, Jackson & Columbus
Railroad. From thence they will be conveyed by Hacks direct to the
well. The water rises in a well ninety-seven feet deep. The surrounding
country is broken and diversified, and is noted for the remarkable purity
of the atmosphere and its well known and highly valued healthfulness
and no more pleasant summer retreat could be found.
The Office: Adjoining
the pavilion is the extensive bottling house from which the water, either
in it’s natural state or carbonized, is bottled and shipped all over the
country.
