210 RECORD OF DEEP- WELL DRILLING FOR 1905. 
Trenton: Feet. 
Hard light Trenton rock; gas at 960 feet, dry below 945-1, 240 
Hard darker Trenton rock; pay sand 1, 240-1, 260 
Rig used, cable. Diameter of well, 8 inches from to 345 feet and 5| inches from 345 to 
1 ,260 feet . Length of casing, 345 feet . Main inflow of water struck at 100 to 300 feet . 
This well was drilled almost dry; after shooting it made a fair producer, settling down 
to 12 or 15 barrels daily. Very little gas was found, enough for a 25-horsepower gas engine. 
402. Well near Howell, Vanderbttrg County. 
[Well begun May 24, 1905; completed June 6, 1905. Authority, William H. Miller, contractor and 
driller. Samples preserved. Geologic correlations by G. H. Ashley.] 
This well penetrates rocks that form part of the Coal Measures or Pennsylvania!! series 
of the Carboniferous system. As porous beds are seldom of great extent in the Coal Meas- 
ures, deep wells in those rocks often fail to obtain large supplies of water. The rocks pene- 
trated by this well have been described in the Ditney folio (No. 84) and the Patoka folio 
(No. 105) of the Geologic Atlas of the United States. They are included in the Inglefield, , 
Ditney, Somerville, Millersburg, Petersburg, and Brazil formations.
