by Messrs. L. A. Davis & Brother. These wells are three 
inches in diameter and both are reported cased to a depth of 
80 feet. One was drilled to a depth of 480 feet; the other 
a depth of 450 feet. The water is reported to rise 35 feet above 
the surface. The water from one of the wells is used for the 
boiler supply at the sawmill and is said to form a hard scale. 
The other well is used for general drinking purposes.

The greater portion is low and flat, while other parts are gently 
undulating. The highest elevation on the island is to be found 
along the line of sand dunes bordering the ocean. The dune 
on which the lighthouse is placed reaches an elevation of about 
55 feet above the sea. 
The first flow of water in and near Fernandina is reported to 
be encountered at a depth of from 400 to 500 feet after drilling 
through a considerable thickness of sand and blue to greenish 
clay or marl. The water at this depth, as indicated by notes 
obtained from well drillers, comes from a sand stratum confined 
there by the overlying, very compact, blue to greenish clays. 
The second water bearing stratum or chief source of supply is 
obtained at or about the depth of 600 feet. In the log of the
