9 " Coal, ANTHRACITE " 1569 



Here, in answer to my verbal objections to the notes in his well book, 

 Mr. Rosenzi explained that the thickness might be incorrect, owing to the 

 churning of the tools, but that it was in his opinion " certainly 5| feet ;" 

 and that the " coal " came up in fine specks (no larger than the head of a 

 pin) like all the other crushed and ground-up sand pumpings from the 

 well, from top to bottom. No larger pieces were obtained : and no 

 analyses were made. The well was worked in brackish water, which 

 afterwards became salt water. See below at 1616, where salt was first no- 

 ticed on the board walls of the derrick.
