LOCAL DETAILS. 
BOHEMIA. 
Bohemia is located in the southeast portion of the county on 
the Louisville and Nashville Bailroad at the base of the bluffs- 
facing Escambia Bay. Four two-inch wells have been sunk here 
and flowing water was obtained at the depths of 52 and 56 feet. 
The wells are owned by the Home Mill Company and were sunk in

having a head of three or more feet above the surface. Driven sur¬
