field is due chiefly to these beds. It is also due to their water-bearing 
qualities that the shallow wells drilled for water purposes in this 
region afford so steady and liberal a supply that extensive areas of 
rice lands are irrigated wholly from them. 
The dip of these beds appears to be comparatively gentle, and while 
their thickness is very irregular, its average maybe taken as approxi- 
mately 200 feet. 
Several deep wells have been drilled in the territory occupied by 
these sands, but very few of the logs are available. In the Saratoga 
oil field these sands appear in the Hooks well No. 1 to have a thick- 
ness of 173 feet and to be underlain by a blue and white clay. In the 
Libbie well, 3 miles farther west, the section of the well gives these 
sands a thickness of 135 feet. Here they rest upon blue limy clay. 
The following is the log of this well:
