104 FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY—FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT. 
LOCAL DETAILS. 
BAGDAD. 
Milton on Blackwater River. The Stearns-Culver Lumber Com¬ 
pany, operating a saw mill at this place, have several driven shal 
low wells ranging from 35 to 100 feet in depth, the average being 
about 75 feet. No deep wells have been drilled. The shallow wells 
furnish an abundant supply of soft water. These wells can be 
driven in a short time since they are small, ranging in size from 
1J to 2 inches in diameter. 
BLACKMAN. 
About two miles west of Blackman postoffice in the northeastern 
part of the county the Falco Naval Stores Company have put doAvn 
an artesian well. No definite information could be obtained re¬ 
garding this well further than that it is between three and four 
hundred feet in depth and the water stands between 80 and 90 feet 
below the surface. The water is said to incrust boilers. 
COBB. 
The wells at Cobb range in depth from about 70 to 100 or more 
feet and terminate in sands and sandy clays. Wells are obtained 
at a more shallow depth but these do not furnish a sufficient amount 
of water. The water in these deeper wells stands quite a distance 
below the surface but the ordinary deep well pumps are used. In 
some instances the old style windlass is still in use. 
MILLIGAN. 
Milligan is near the eastern line of the county on the Louis¬ 
ville and Nashville Railroad and Yellow River. An abundant sup¬ 
ply of water is obtained here from shallow wells at a depth of from 
18 to 25 feet. No deep wells have been drilled. The saw mill at 
this place uses water from a nearby creek tributary to the Yellow 
River. These creeks are as a rule supplied by seepage springs and 
when such is the case furnish excellent water for boiler purposes.
