dabton.] NEW JERSEY. 109 
will be found to underlie the entire county. This expectation has been 
realized in the deeper wells at Wild wood, which found an abundant 
supply at 887 to 931 feet, probably from either the 800-foot or the 950-foot 
Atlantic City horizons, and a very great flow of water at 580 to 655 feet 
in the middle of the great Chesapeake diatom bed. The water at 320 
feet at Cape May, at 99 feet at West Creek, and at 380 feet at Sea Isle 
City appear to indicate a southward extension of the water horizons 
which occur just above the diatom bed at Ocean City and Atlantic 
City. The water at 215 feet at Wildwood indicates a still higher 
horizon, possibly the one which yielded salt water at 224 feet at Cape 
May City. 
EASTERN CUMBERLAND COUNTY. 
There is a sufficient number of wells in this section to indicate a 
general extension of waters in Chesapeake beds at moderate depths. 
The Millville well found the 700-foot Atlantic City horizon at 160 feet, 
and there is a fair degree of probability that this water will be found 
to the east and southeast. Its relations are quite fully suggested on 
the map, PI. II, and in section 4 in PI. III. The wells at Bivalve and 
Port Norris are in higher horizons, of which the relations and extent 
are not as yet fully determined, but they give assurance that water- 
bearing beds underlie the southeastern corner of the county at moderate 
depths. 
EASTERN BURLINGTON COUNTY. 
There have been relatively few wells sunk in this section, and their 
results were not altogether satisfactory. The well at Harrisia obtained 
a fair prospect of water at 1.90 feet, apparently from the horizon which 
is at a depth of 700-feet at Atlantic City, but when it was deepened to 
306 feet it was not quite deep enough to reach the 800-foot or the 960-foot 
horizons, which may be expected to underlie the region. South of Har- 
risia there should be found the waters which occur in the Port Republic 
wells at 114 and 151 feet, and also the waters found at Beach Haven 
and Seven Islands. For the region north of Harrisia to 3 miles beyond 
the New Jersey Southern Railroad no definite predictions can be made. 
There is fair possibility of finding waters in the lowest Chesapeake 
beds, and other chances in the Redbank sands a short distance below. 
A well to the depth of 500 feet at Atsion, Harris, or Shamong would 
pass through the lower Chesapeake beds in the first 300 feet and reach 
this lower horizon. Whether it would prove to be water-bearing can 
not now be safel} 7 predicted. 
SOUTHERN AND EASTERN OCEAN COUNTY. 
The wells in this county are along or near the ocean shore, and they 
are at such frequent intervals that the water horizons are located with 
a fair degree of definiteness. In section 5, PI. Ill, these water horizons 
are represented, and their relations and bearings are quite apparent.
