Analysis by E. B. Knerr. 
Atchison Diamond Drill Prospect Boring. 
In the summer of 1900 a well 1553 feet in depth, penetrating 
into the Mississippian limestone for the last thirty-eight feet, 
was bored at Atchison, for the purpose of investigating the coal 
seams beneath the city. The total cost of this well was about 
$4700, which amount was mostly raised by public subscription. 
The drill, which brought up a 2-inch core, penetrated in all 
fourteen feet and five inches of coal, a 36-inch seam being found 
at a depth of 1123 feet, and a 28-inch seam being found at a 
depth of 1188 feet. Samples of water were taken at different 
depths, and all proved to be brines. The analysis of the water 
taken at the greatest depth, which, of course, would be more or 
less a inixture of all the different streams which found their
