In the eleven wells on the west side the least distance between the top 

 of the Corniferous limestone and the salt is 499 feet and the greatest 518 feet. 



In Well No. 1, Group A, the top of the salt is 315 feet below sea level. 

 In Well No. 4, Group F, 6800 feet north of Well No. 1, Group A, it is 252 

 feet below sea level, sixty-three feet higher than the former and showing a 

 southward dip of forty-nine feet per mile between these two points. 



In Well No. 30 on the west side about half a mile west from Well No. 1 

 Group A, the top of salt was reached at 317 feet below sea level, two feet 

 lower than in Well No. 1, Group A. 



In the Pioneer Well at Wyoming, which is about eighty miles due west 

 from Well No. 1, Group A, the salt bed is 278 feet below sea level, and in 

 the Livonia salt mine, which is located on a line between Well No. 30 and the 

 Pioneer well, the top of the salt is 277 feet below sea level, showing an 

 average westward dip of only six inches per mile. 



In a majority of the wells, drilling ceased when the bottom of the first 

 bed of salt was reached, but in nine the drill passed entirely through it and 

 into the shales below. In Well No: 5, Group B, the bed is fifty four feet
