proximately one mile north of the Hendry well at City Point, anal¬ 
ysis of which is given on page 183. Analysis made for the

TILLMAN. 
The only deep well at Tillman of which record has been ob¬ 
tained was drilled by John Me Allister in 1890 and is owned by R. 
A. Conkling. It is 350 feet deep and furnishes an excellent flow 
of water which is used for general domestic purposes. 
TITUSVILLE. 
Titusville, the county seat of Brevard County, is located on the 
Indian River. Several artesian wells have been sunk at this locality, 
but up to the present time principally salt water has been obtained. 
A test well put down about 1890 was drilled to a total depth of 
864 feet. A salt water stratum was reached at a depth of about 
100 feet. The well was cased to a depth of about no feet, but no 
attempt was made to case off the salt water. Both the flow and the 
head is reported to have increased with increase of depth. Several 
other wells have been subsequently drilled in and near the city. One 
of these located at the Dixie Hotel is said to have been drilled to 
a depth of about 400 feet. Another located at the Grand View 
Hotel, drilled about 1895, is believed to have reached the depth of 
about 200 feet. Two other wells, one located at the old plant of the 
Florida Extract Company, the other at the plant of the Titusville 
Ice Company were drilled to a depth of 150 and 145 feet respective¬ 
ly. Salt water was obtained from all of these wells and in none of 
Parts per million.
