  This 
  stream 
  is 
  tributary 
  to 
  the 
  west 
  branch 
  

   of 
  Fish 
  creek 
  at 
  Camden. 
  Maximum 
  flood-flows 
  from 
  well-defined 
  

   high- 
  water 
  marks, 
  as 
  measured 
  at 
  this 
  place, 
  are 
  922 
  cubic 
  feet 
  

   per 
  second 
  (catchment, 
  47 
  square 
  miles), 
  or 
  at 
  the 
  rate 
  of 
  20 
  cubic 
  

   feet

  As

   dam, 
  just 
  below 
  the 
  preceding, 
  with 
  one 
  mile 
  additional 
  catchment 
  

   area, 
  they 
  are 
  1030 
  cubic 
  feet 
  per 
  second, 
  or 
  at 
  the 
  rate 
  of

  The 
  catchment 
  area 
  of 
  

   this 
  stream 
  above 
  Point 
  Rock, 
  where 
  the 
  gaging 
  station 
  is 
  estab- 
  

   lished, 
  is 
  quite 
  different 
  from 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  west 
  branch 
  of 
  Fish 
  creek 
  

   above 
  McConnellsville. 
  The 
  stream 
  rises 
  very 
  rapidly 
  and 
  the 
  

   surface 
  soil 
  is 
  such 
  as 
  to 
  give 
  large 
  runoffs. 
  The 
  maximum 
  flood 
  

   is 
  reported 
  as 
  having 
  occurred 
  in 
  the 
  fall 
  of 
  1897, 
  with 
  a 
  total 
  

   runoff 
  of 
  8400 
  cubic 
  feet 
  per. 
  second 
  (catchment, 
  104 
  square 
  miles), 
  

   or 
  80.5 
  cubic 
  feet 
  per 
  second 
  per 
  square 
  mile. 
  Ordinary 
  floods, 
  

   as 
  determined 
  from 
  high- 
  water 
  marks, 
  are 
  about 
  37 
  cubic 
  feet 
  per 
  

   second 
  per 
  square 
  mile.
