well April 19, 1910, was eight and one-half pounds, the measure¬ 
ment being made one and one-half feet above the surface. About 
one-fourth mile beyond the above is a second well. This well 
indicated a pressure of eight pounds, the measurement in this 
instance being made three feet above the surface. Unfortunately 
the total depth of this well could not be learned. A third well 
about one and one-fourth miles beyond this second well indicated

a pressure of one pound. This well has a total depth of 201 feet, 
is two inches in diameter and is cased 154 feet. As will be seen 
these wells decrease in pressure on leaving the river. This de¬ 
crease in pressure is due to the increase in elevation. All of the 
above mentioned wells are along the grade of the now abandoned 
railroad from Paola to Monroe. 
. Another well four miles southwest of Sanford and owned by 
Mr. J. V. Weeden, terminated in the Vicksburg Limestone, as 
is shown by a mixed sample of the drillings gathered after the 
well was completed. Unfortunately neither the total depth of 
the well nor the depth at which the Vicksburg Limestone was 
reached could be learned. This well is two inches in diameter 
and furnishes a good flow of water.
