internal diameter) to 592i feet, then a 7i-incli borehole. There 

 was a yield of over 60,000 gallons of water per day. At first a 

 little trouble arose from oxidation of iron in the pipes, but that 

 trouble soon ceased : —

I have, unfortunately, not been able to visit the locality so as to

 glacially-reconstructed red marl for a few feet below the gravel.
