this when it stood fifteen feet above ground. The flow from 
this two-inch pipe is fifty gallons every fifty-five seconds. The 
water is as clear as crystal, very palatable, and cold. The water 
deposits a slight iron coating over the barrel into which it flows. 
Calcareous deposits are also found in places about the mound, 
indicating mineral properties for the water. | 
‘“‘The formation of mounds is explained by the water pressure 
carrying up sand and soil and depositing it at the surface. The 
mounds are covered by bulrushes, cat-tails and other usual 
swamp growth, which holds the soil, preventing its being 
washed down. ‘The water springs from over the whole surface 
of the mound, and runs away in small streams. Thus the pe- 
culiar circumstance arises that the swamp is high ground and 
the firm soil is lower.’
