Notes. 



Water at 25 ft. 



f 12 gallons of water per 



\ minute. 



Water increasing at 



45 ft. 1 in. At 52 ft. 



more loamy and full 



of shells*. 



Compact and full of 

 shells at 86 ft. 



At 290 ft. 6 in. hard 

 blue clay; no trace 

 of sand. 



The yield of water from this well is very copious, supposed to be 

 little short of a million gallons per diem ; but the means at present 

 have only been equal to testing this to about 500,000 gallons at 

 about 70 feet from the surface. The water rises and stands, when 

 the engine is not pumping, at 9 feet from the surface of the ground.
