  A 
  deep 
  well 
  was 
  put 
  down 
  in 
  1887, 
  in 
  the 
  

   village 
  of 
  Clyde, 
  about 
  13 
  miles 
  south 
  of 
  the 
  Clinton 
  outcrop. 
  The 
  

   altitude 
  at 
  the 
  mouth 
  of 
  the 
  well 
  is 
  given 
  by 
  Prosser, 
  1 
  from 
  whose 
  

   paper 
  the 
  record 
  has 
  been 
  taken, 
  as 
  389 
  feet. 
  The 
  boring 
  was 
  made 
  

   with 
  a 
  churn 
  drill. 
  The 
  iron 
  ore 
  reported 
  is 
  near 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  

   Clinton 
  and 
  represents 
  probably 
  the 
  upper 
  ore 
  horizon.

  Alio

  In 
  1899 
  a 
  deep 
  boring 
  was 
  made 
  at 
  

   Alloway, 
  18 
  miles 
  south 
  of 
  the 
  Clinton 
  outcrop 
  and 
  8 
  miles 
  south- 
  

   west 
  of 
  the 
  Clyde 
  well 
  at 
  an 
  altitude 
  of 
  410 
  feet.

  The 
  well 
  was 
  

   started 
  in 
  the 
  Salina 
  and 
  the 
  Niagaran 
  group 
  was 
  reached 
  at 
  580 
  

   feet. 
  No 
  data 
  were 
  obtainable 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  Clinton 
  beds, 
  but 
  they 
  must 
  

   have 
  been 
  penetrated 
  above 
  980 
  feet 
  where 
  the 
  first 
  Medina 
  was 
  

   found. 
  

  

  Seneca 
  Falls, 
  Cayuga 
  co. 
  A 
  deep 
  well 
  was 
  put 
  down 
  at 
  this 
  

   place, 
  which 
  is 
  12 
  miles 
  southeast 
  of 
  Clyde 
  and 
  25 
  miles 
  south 
  of 
  

   the 
  Clinton 
  outcrop 
  near 
  Wolcott.

  After 
  penetrating 
  the 
  Salina 
  

   formation, 
  the 
  Niagaran 
  strata 
  were 
  encountered 
  at 
  950 
  feet. 
  The 
  

   combined

  are 
  not 
  differentiated 
  in

  is 
  given 
  as 
  400

   The 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  Medina 
  was 
  encountered 
  at 
  1350 
  feet. 
  The 
  altitude 
  

   of
