GENEVA. 
There are several non-flowing wells in Geneva, the elevation 
being too great for a flowing well to be obtained. Mr. H. H. 
Pattishall has a two-inch well 133 feet deep and cased 85 feet. 
This well was drilled by the Geo. H. Fernald Company in 1909. 
The water is said to rise to within 29 feet of the surface. 
Mr. J. T. McLain owns a well one and one-half miles north 
of Geneva. This is a two-inch well and is 135 feet deep. The 
water is reported to rise to within 31 feet of the surface. The 
water from this well is hard and is charged with hydrogen sul¬ 
phide. In addition to the above well Mr. McLain has two wells 
on Mullet Lake, on the St. Johns Riven, about four miles slightly 
west of north from Geneva. Both of the wells furnish salt water 
impregnated with hydrogen sulphide and are not used. One is 
seventy-five feet deep and is said to flow two feet above the sur¬ 
face ; the other is 135 feet deep and the water is reported to rise 
within one foot of the surface. The apparent difference in head 
is due to the difference in the elevation of the two wells. 
Mr. W. B. Raulerson owns a two-inch well five miles north¬ 
west of Geneva and near the St. Johns River. This well is 76 
feet deep and is cased 72 feet and furnishes a small flow of salt 
water which rises a few inches above the surface. The first flow 
in the well was encountered at a depth of 70 feet. An increased 
flow was obtained at 72 J4 feet. The first water was reported to 
be more salty than the second, as was indicated when the first 
flow was cased off. Owing to inability to drill deeper with the 
light drilling outfit used, the boring was discontinued. Mr. 
Raulerson states that the water is more salty in seasons of drought 
than in seasons of normal or heavy rainfall. 
A two-inch well owned by Chase & Company, two miles south¬ 
east of Geneva, on Lake Harney, is 35 feet deep. This well was 
sunk by F. B. Bradley and is cased 34 feet. It has a head of four 
feet above the surface. The water is fresh and is only slightly 
dharged with hydrogen sulphide.
