LOCAL DETAILS. 
ELLAVILLE. 
Ellaville is in eastern Madison county on the Seaboard Air 
Line Railway at the junction of the Withlacoochee and Suwannee 
Rivers. The elevation of the depot here is 64 feet above sea. Lime¬ 
stone lies very close to the surface at this locality and wells of 
only moderate depth yield hard water. The artesian wells average 
about 100 feet in depth and the water rises to within about 35 feet 
of the surface. Mr. R. L. Millinor owns a three inch well located 
near the depot which is about 100 feet deep. Limestone rock was 
encountered at the depth of 12 feet and the water rises to within 
35 feet of the surface or 29 feet above sea, The elevation of the 
well being practically the same as that of the depot. This is a 
typical artesian well of this vicinity. 
GREENVILLE. 
» 
A well drilled here for Mr. J. W. Bishop reached a depth of 205 
feet. It is two inches in diameter and is cased 200 feet. The water 
is said to stand about 12 feet below the surface. The well was 
drilled for the purpose of draining a small pond. 
Records of two other wells have been obtained from Greenville. 
These wells are two inches in diameter. One is 99, and the other 
104 feet in depth. The water, which is hard, is said to rise to 
within 60 feet of the surface. 
LEE. 
Several wells have been sunk here, the deepest one on record, 
however, being only 108 feet. Many limestone sinks occur in this 
section and the rock lies comparatively near the surface, and it 
is not necessary to drill a great depth in order to reach the under¬ 
ground waters. The wells are mostly two inches in diameter and 
range in depth from 65 to 108 feet. The water, which is hard, 
stands from 40 to 50 feet below the surface depending on local 
surface variations.
