age from Carboniferous into Jurassic. In this case the rocks are believed to be of Car- 
niferous age. The water level of this well is over 300 feet below surface, but at a well 
ar Pastura, on the same railroad, water level is 636 feet below surface. The region is 
id and the rocks are poor water carriers.
