The Middle Florida Ice Company have two wells at Tallahassee 
used in the manufacture of ice. One well is 130 feet deep, six inches 
in diameter and is cased 84 feet. The water, which is hard, is said 
to rise to within 56 feet of the surface. The second well is eight 
inches in diameter and 375 feet in depth. It is reported cased to 
a depth of 108 feet and the head is said to be 66 feet below the 
surface. This latter well was drilled in 1804, the former in 1908. 
Several wells have been sunk throughout the northern area of 
Leon county. These wells are on private estates and supply waters 
for general domestic purposes. No logs of any of these have been 
obtained and likewise no samples of the drillings. Most of these 
wells are 4^ inches in diameter and range in depth from 200 to 
355 feet.

Over the eastern half of the county limestone is frequently exposed 
at the surface and where not exposed lies at no great depth, in¬ 
fluencing to a marked degree the surface features. The circulation 
of water below the surface has dissolved portions of these underly¬ 
ing limestones as is shown by the many sinks, subterranean pas-
