As this well penetrated over 400 feet of the Baritan formation, it 
was no doubt near the basal beds when boring was discon tinned. It 
is probable that these basal beds would have furnished a water sup- 
ply, but until a well is sunk to the bed rock in this region no definite 
prediction can be made. 
Mullica Hill, Gloucester County. — The well is on the Borton farm, 
If miles due southwest of Mullica Hill, at an elevation of 100 feet. 
The depth is 102 feet and the diameter lh inches. The water rises to 
within 35 feet of the top. It is irony, and in ample supply for farm 
use. The water is in a gray sand, which is thought by Mr. Woolman 
to be the equivalent of the red sand below the middle marl, the same 
horizon as at Quinton and at Woodstown. 
Ocean Beach, Monmouth Count)/. — The well is on the property of Mr 
E. C. Jayne, at the corner of Ocean and Sixth avenues, about 400 feet 
from the ocean. It has a depth of 485 feet and a bore of 3 inches. 
The flow at the surface was 25 gallons per minute, or 3G,000 gallons per 
day. The water rises to 34 feet above the ground, or about 50 feet 
above low-tide level. It is clear and colorless, but is a little hard and 
contains a trace of iron. The record was similar to the records of 
Ocean Grove and Asbury Park, and the water is found in a sandy layer 
under the Lower Marl bed. 1 
A second well at Ocean Beach, between Second and Third avenues, 
and one block from the ocean, only a few hundred feet from the first 
well, was bored in 1885. It is 480 feet deep, 3 inches in bore, and flows 
50 gallons per minute at the surface. 2
