152. FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY—FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT. 
log of the well the vein of water containing the leaves is shut off 
by the casing. The following log of this well was kindly supplied 
by the driller, Mr. F. J. White.

Decayed limestone, boulders and with water.. 26- 180 
Solid sand rock, very hard. 180- 260

Hard, white and brown flint rock. 270- 430 
Honey combed rock containing water . 430- 440 
Gray and white flint rock, very hard, with layers 
. of white material like chalk. Water at 543 
feet . 440- 5G0

Very hard solid rock. 592- 596 
Hard flint rock . 596- 600 
Honey combed rock with water. 600- 606 
Hard blue clay. 606- 612 
Hard rock. At depth of 1000 feet small stream of 
water with live oak leaves. 4 inch pipe put 
in at this depth and driven in solid rock, cut¬ 
ting off all water above . 612-1000 
Hard flint rock with streaks of white material re¬ 
sembling chalk. Flow at this depth from 15 
to 25 gallons per minute . 1000-1207 
By consulting the log it will be seen that a honey combed rock 
(porous limestone) containing water was encountered at the depth 
of 600 to 606 feet. A sample of this water was drawn and .sent in, 
by Mr. White to the State Chemist for analysis. The total dis¬ 
solved solids as shown by this analysis, were 302 parts per million 
parts water. 
When the well was completed another sample sent in to the 
State Chemist for analysis by J. W. Cobb, Perry, Florida, showed 
the following content. A. M. Henry, Analyst.

The Perry Ice and Power Company owns two artesian wells. 
One of these is 76 feet deep. It is ten inches in diameter and the 
water rises to within 12J feet of the surface. The well w T as sunk 
in 1905 by John Cole. The water from this well is used for the 
manufacture of ice and for the public supply. The second well is 
eight inches in diameter and has a depth of about 200 feet.
