750. Well at Sardis, Panola County. 
[Well begun in May, 1905; completed May 26, 1905. Authority, C. E. Thomas, of Illinoia Central Rail- 
road, owner. Samples preserved. Geologic correlations checked by E. C. Eckel.] 
This well is sunk in yellow and buff clay of the Lafayette (?) formation (Pliocene) and 
varicolored sands of the Wilcox or "Lignitic" group (Eocene).

MISSOURI. 
844. Well near Kansas City, Jackson County. 
[Authority, S. J. Hatch. No samples. Geologic correlations by E. O. Ulrich.] 
The log of this well gives data supplementing the logs of wells Nos. 605 and 606. The 
rock last penetrated, as shown by a sample from the drill core between 2,348 and 2,404 
feet, was a biotite granite. This sample indicates that the drill passed through all the 
Paleozoic formations present and the record shows the thickness of these formations below 
the base of the Coal Measures, at 750 feet. The record is presumably accurate. Mr. 
Hatch states that the core was destroyed by a fire. 
Record of well 10 miles southeast of Kansas City.
