NARROWS. 
Two deep wells are reported from Narrows. One is owned 
by Mr. F. Foster, the other by Mr. E. L. Gray. These wells were 
drilled by Mr. W. J. Nesbitt about the year 1892. Both are three 
inches in diameter and 420 feet deep. The height to which the 
water would rise above the surface was not obtained, but the wells 
are reported to have a head of several feet, and to furnish a strong 
flow of water. 
ORCHID. 
Mr. S. K. Michael owns an artesian well at Orchid. This well 
was sunk by Capt. Alexander Near in 1896. It is 480 feet deep, 
four inches in diameter and is cased 85 feet. The well is reported 
to have a head of 40 feet above sea, and to furnish an abundant 
supply of hard, sulphur water. 
ROSELAND. 
The artesian wells at Roseland have been drilled for a number 
of years and, for this reason, no very definite information could 
be obtained. Mr. L. C. Moore owns three wells, located about 
one and one-half miles north of Roseland, on the point between 
the Sebastian and Indian Rivers. These wells range in depth
