Analysis by E. H.S. Bailey and E. W. Walter. 
Fort Scott Sulfo-magnesian Well. 
A well 700 feet deep has been bored a short distance south of 
the Goodlander hotel, in the city of Fort Scott, and in this well 
the water rises to within forty feet of the surface. The upper 
part of the well is cased with eight-inch pipe and the lower 
part with six inch. The water, which is nearly clear when 
freshly drawn, is delivered by asteam pump at the rate of twenty 
gallons per minute. After the water stands for a while a black 
sediment settles out. This consists essentially of iron hydroxid 
and sulfid. ‘The odor and taste of hydrogen sulfid are very 
strong in the freshly-drawn water. The water is extensively 
used locally, and it is proposed to utilize it in a sanitarium to 
be built on the lot adjoining the well. 
At present the water is used in a temporary sanitarium 
-which has been fitted up in the basement of the Goodlander 
hotel. Here are the usual facilities for taking mineral baths.
