70 ARTESIAN WELLS ON THE ATLANTIC COAST. [bull. 138. 
The water horizon is apparently at the base of the Lower Marl bed, 
and the same as that of Spring Lake, Asbury Park (at 383 feet), 
Ocean Beach, Ocean Grove, Red Bank (at 80-90 feet), and others. 
Longport. — The well at Longport was sunk in 1895. Its depth is 803 
feet, diameter 6 inches, and flow 180 gallons per minute. The water 
horizon is the one which occurs at about the same depth at Atlantic 
City, where it supplies many wells. The record is given by Mr. Wool- 
man in the New Jersey report for 1895. 1 
Magnolia Station, Camden County. — This place is 8 miles east of Cam- 
den on the Eeading route to Atlantic City. The following record was 
reported by Mr. Woolman : 2 
Feet. 
0-4 yellow clay and sand- 
4-36 blue marl . 
36-41 coarse, white sand, with water. 
41-56 coarse, white gravel, with water. 
56-59 hard stratum with shells. 
59-74 black sand with marl grains. 
74-84 gray sand and shells cemented together. 
84-91 very dark gray sand with plenty of water. 
The horizon is thought to be Lower Marl. 
MantoloMng, Ocean County. — The first well at this place obtained a 
fair supply of water at 175 feet, which rose 35 feet above the surface. 
The horizon is at the base of the great diatom bed of the Chesapeake 
formation, and probably the same as that at 700 feet at Atlantic City 
(see section 5, PI. III). A deeper boring was made to 790 feet, which 
reaches the Lower Marl Horizon, and another boring to a depth of 922 
feet obtains a supply from sands in the Matawan formation. No definite 
data have been obtained regarding the results of the deeper borings, 
but I have understood that they are satisfactory. 
Maple Shade, Burlington County. — This place is 2J miles south of 
west from Moorestown Station on the Burlington County Railroad. 
Water was found at about 95, 125, 280, and 370 feet. The following 
record is given : 3 
Feet. 
0-5 surface gravel. 
5-13 yellow clay. 
13-17 ferriferous clay and ironstone crust. 
17-20 black sand, containing ammonites, scaphites, baculites, etc. 
20-64 black clay. 
64-97 g ra y sands, fine above, coarse and pebbly at bottom ; water. 
97-103 greensand marl. 
103-130. . .... fine gray sand and coarse gravel ; water.
