PINE BARREN. 
The first artesian well at Pine Barren was sunk about 1891 by 
Mr. W. J. Malone, of Brewton, Alabama, for the McMillan Mill 
Company. Since that time three additional wells have been drill¬ 
ed for this company by Mr. Malone, the last one being completed 
in 1909. These all average 150 feet in depth and range from 1£ 
to 1| inches in diameter. They yield a flow of about 40 gallons per 
minute of good soft water which is used for general purposes around 
the mill. The reported pressure of these wells is 15 pounds to the 
square inch which is pressure sufficient to cause the water to rise 
34.65 feet above the surface. The elevation of the depot at this 
place as recorded by the Louisville and Nashville Kailroad is 57 
feet. This elevation, which is approximately the same as that of 
the well near the depot, will give for these wells a total head of 
about 91.65 feet above sea. The following analysis showing the 
character of this water was made for the State Survey in the office 
of the State Chemist, A. M. Henry, Analyst.
