NOTES ON WELLS AND PROSPECTS, BY COUNTIES. 
Quite a number of wells have been sunk in the Coastal Plain region 
of North Carolina, but they have not been very successful. Many of 
the waters are unsatisfactory, owing to sulphur or other minerals, and 
only a few have furnished large supplies. Their depths are mainly less 
than 300 feet, and it seems probable that more satisfactory water would 
be found lower down, below the marls and their associated clays. 
PASQUOTANK COUNTY. 
At Elizabeth City, in 1891, Mr. Henry E. Knox, jr., bored ten wells in 
different portions of the town, the average depth of which was 64 feet. 
At several of these wells, which are located at slightly lower portions 
of the surface, the water overflows the top of the pipe. There are two 
water-bearing strata, having an average depth of 58 and 78 feet, respec- 
tively, below the surface. The water from both strata is strongly sul- 
phurous and hard, but free from surface contamination. Each well, 
lined with a 2-inch pipe, as estimated by Mr. Knox, will easily yield 
10,000 gallons of water per day. In the following statement as to 
thickness and depth of the strata penetrated in boring these wells, two 
wells are selected — Nos. 2 and 8 — as representing the varying character 
and thickness of the materials in different portions of the town. 
Well No. 2 is located on the north bank of the north branch of 
Poindexter Creek where crossed by Pool street. This well is 78 feet
