197 feet a flow of v r ater, 8,400 gallons a 
day, 
was struck 
; the 
water 
rose to within 20 feet of the surface. At 226 feet this volume increased 
to 252,000 gallons a day, the water rising to within 10 feet of the surface. 
At 262 feet, 240,000 gallons a day were found. On boring deeper, this 
flow ceased, and the water was lost; but about a fortnight after, on 
boring still deeper, a flow r of 350,000 gallons a day was struck at 295
