jS. Powers — Granite in Kansas. 



147 



somewhere in the vicinity of Woodson County during the 

 deposition of the LeRoy shales. 



A list of the wells which are known to have encountered 

 granite follows, the first well being in Nebraska and all the 

 others in Kansas. The depth at which the granite was first 

 found is given and, where known, the total depth of the well 

 is also given. It has been reported that the two wells in 

 Nowata County, Oklahoma, three wells in Washington County, 

 Oklahoma, and a well five miles east of Inola, Rogers County, 

 Oklahoma, have also found granite, but it is possible that these 

 wells were drilled through the Paleozoic series into the same 

 pre-Cambrian granite which is found in the Ozark Mountains 

 in Missouri.
