Stratford, on the beach. Its depth is about 800 feet and the yield is 
30 gallons a minute. It is said to rise 35 feet above the surface. The 
water horizon is probably in the Matawan formation, the same as at 
Monmouth Beach, Monmouth Park, Seabright at 258 feet, Atlantic 
Highlands at 108 feet, Asbury Park at 550 feet, Mantoloking at 922 
feet, and other wells. 
Port Monmouth, Monmouth County. — There is said to be a flowing 
well at this place, near the terminus of the New Jersey Southern Bail- 
way. It is over 100 feet in depth and yields a small supply of good 
water, which probably comes from the beds in the Matawan formation. 
Port Norris, Cumberland County. — The principal well has a depth of 
78 feet, and was bored through sand and clay. The water flows about 
1 gallon a minute, and is of good quality, with a slightly ferruginous 
taste. There is also a flowing well, which has a depth of 37 feet. Mr. 
Woolman suggests that the water at 78 feet may be in sands which 
yield water at Atlantic City at a depth of 328 feet. 1 
There are also two wells at Bivalve, one on either side of the Maurice 
Eiver. The following record is from the memory of the driller : 
Feet. 
0-20 salt mud. 
20-70 white quicksand, like glass sand. 
70-76 blue clay. 
76-200 alternations of sand and blue clay, with 18-inch layer of shells 
at bottom. 
Mr. Woolman found diatoms in materials near the bottom, and 
regards the water horizon as equivalent to the one in the upper diatom 
clay at 406 and 430 feet in Atlantic City wells, which would indicate a 
dip of 25 feet per mile in that direction. 2 
Port Republic, Atlantic County. — In the spring of 1892 a 2J-inch well 
was bored for E. W. French at Port Bepublic. Water was obtained at 
a depth of 114 feet, at the base of black sand 33 feet thick, but it was 
cased off and the boring continued. Farther down 13 feet of bluish 
clay were penetrated, and water was found in a bed of coarse gravel at 
151 feet. 3 The blue clay is thought by Mr. Woolman to represent the 
great diatomaceous clay bed, and the water horizon at 151 feet to be 
the probable equivalent of the water which occurs in the upper part of 
that clay bed at 400 feet at Atlantic City. It is suggested that the 
water at 114 feet may possibly belong in the sands above the diatom 
clays and represent the group of water horizons, one of which occurs at 
the depth of 328 feet at Atlantic City. 
Quinton, Salem County, — A 6-inch well was bored at this place in 
1892 for the Salem Water Company. Nine more 6-inch wells have since 
been bored. The elevation is 10 feet above tide and the water rises to
