lifting the water to the surface, it is discharged through an 
aerating fountain into the center of a basin or reservoir. [rom 
this it is pumped to a stand-tower some distance away. While 
standing in the reservoir it has been noticed that the sulfur 
separates from the water and gives it a milky appearance, which 
is said by the local observers to be more marked before a storm. 
The odor and taste of hydrogen sulfid are both ve apparent 1 in 
the freshly-drawn water.

Fort Scott Artesian Well.7® 
As early as 1884 a well was bored at Fort Scott for the pur- 
pose of obtaining gas. The mouth of this well is 840 feet 
above the level of the sea, as shown by the survey of the Kan- 
sas City, Fort Scott & Memphis Railway Company. It is 
bored on the south branch of Marmaton river, at the foot 
of a bluff 550 feet from the channel. The mouth of the well 
is 100 feet lower than the plateau. The bluff appears to 
consist of limestone, hydraulic cement, coal, fire-clay, and bi- 
tuminous shales. The diameter of the well is eight inches
