WASHINGTON. 
1782. Well near Carley, Kenton County. 
([Well completed in 1905. Authority, S. L. Gaines, owner. Incomplete series of samples preserved.] 
This well, according to the owner, was drilled between two others, one flowing about 
200 gallons per minute with little pressure, the other 400 gallons with a closed pressure of 
33 pounds per square inch. It was drilled to 280 feet on a flow-or-no-pay contract. As the 
log shows, no flow was found by going deeper. The formations are of undetermined 
age. The clay and sand down to 250 feet may correspond to the Ellensburg formation 
farther north and the basalt below to the Yakima basalt (Miocene).

The 8-inch and 4-inch were pulled. When the " honeycomb" rock was struck the water in 
the well fell from 331 feet beiow surface to 38 feet and the flow through the rock was so free 
that all drillings were washed away. Quality of water, soft. Elevation of well mouth, 
50 feet above Columbia River, about 280 feet above sea.
