96 FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY—FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT. 
samples of the materials penetrated were furnished the United 
States Geological Survey and the results of an examination of rhe 
fossils found in the drilling are incorporated in the Second Annual 
Report of this Survey, pages 117 and 118. Fossil shells from three 
different depths, 500, 670, and 890 feet, respectively, are reported 
upon but unfortunately the samples became mixed and the only 
importance to be attached to their identification is that marls of 
Miocene age are represented. The general water supply for dom¬ 
estic use in and around Cantonment is from 7 wells ranging from 
40 to 60 or more feet in depth terminating in sands and sandy 
clays. 
MOLING. 
An artesian well was drilled for H. C. Jacobi at Molino in 1908 
by F. J. White. This well reaches a depth of 475 feet, and the 
first flowing water was obtained at 426 feet. The water is soft and 
rises fifteen feet above the surface. In the process of drilling the 
size of the casing was reduced from four to three inches in diame¬ 
ter. The well contains 400 feet of four-inch casing and 475 feet of 
three-inch casing. It is worthy of mention that at Pine Barren 
about 4-J miles north of Molino. a flow with greater pressure than 
that at Molino is obtained at the comparatively shallow depth of 
not more than 150 feat. The elevation at Molino is practically the 
same as at Pine Barren. The extreme variableness of the water¬ 
bearing sands and gravels that yield the artesian waters in this 
section is evident from the difference in the records of the two 
wells. 
MUSCOGEE. 
The Southern States Lumber Company own one artesian well 
at Muscogee which is 180 feet deep. This well is 2^ inches in diame¬ 
ter and is cased to the bottom. It is reported to have a head of 
40 feet above the surface. The water has a slight sulphur odor and 
is said to form some scale in the boilers. Another well which was 
owned by this company was abandoned on account of the injurious 
effect the water had on boilers. The principal water supply for 
general use around the mill is obtained from shallow driven wells 
varying from 16 to 26 feet in depth. The water from these wells 
does not flow but rises to within a few feet of the surface and is 
more strongly impregnated with sulphur than is the water from 
the deeper well. The following analysis of the water from the 180 
foot well was kindly supplied by Mr. W. R. Vaughn, Superintendent 
of the Southern States Lumber Company. The analysis was made
