Seventeenth Annual meeting. 97 



was discontinued, and the drill removed. Since that time — September 8th, 1884 — the 

 well lias flowed a clear, steady stream of over 10,000 gallons per day. There seems to be 

 :i continuous flow, without any gaseous agitation. The pressure will carry the water five 

 feet above the mouth of the well in a tube, at which height it remains stationary, and 

 ceases to How until the altitude of the pipe is diminished. 



The drill record, which is an interesting one, is as follows: 



Total. 



Wash dirt 25 feet 



(lay 5 " 30 feet. 



Soapstone, 15 " 45 "

Very hard flint, 5 " 465 " 



Mixed flint and limestone 156 " 621 " 



For the last 230 feet the borings were white, mixed with gray, the pieces showing 



frequent specks of iron rust. 



Upon analysis, the water is shown to contain the following ingredients, estimated in 



grams per liter : 



Boracic acid 0378 



Chlorine, 9209 



Magnesia, 1642 



Lime, -. 1142 



Ferric oxide 0078 



Sodium oxide 7348 



Sulphuric anhydride 0836 



Sulphuretted hydrogen 0025 



Silica, 0163 



Organic matter 0200 



Potassium oxide, Trace 



Lithium, Trace 



Carbonic acid gas, Undetermined 



These constituents are probably combined as follows, the weights being computed in 

 grains per U. S. gallon of 231 cubic inches: 



Bydrosulphide of sodium, 188 



Chloride of sodium, 79.471 



Biborate of soda, 2.204 



Chloride "I" potassium, ."" Trace 



Chloride of lithium, Trace 



Chloride of magnesium 7.987 



Chloride of calcium, 787 



Sulphate of lime, 829
