and 8-inch casings seems to be increasing and it probably represents the excess water from the lower sands that is not being taken in by the upper sands. As the pressure builds up in the upper sand3 less water is taken in and more water comes to the surface. Well 18 Well 18, owned by M. D. Kidder, is on ground above the level to which the artesian water will rise. The meter was lowered on August 18 to a depth of 210 feet below the top of the casing, about one foot above ground, and no underground leakage was found. According to the driller's log the well has 262 feet of 8-inch casing; 132 feet of 6-inch casing, from 213 to 345 feet; and 86 feet of 4-inch casing, from 295 to 381 feet. The meter doubtless struck the top of the 6-inch casing at a depth of 210 feet. As water would be most likely to come up through the 6-inch casing, because of greater prsssure in the deeper sands, special care was taken to determine any velocity at that point but none was found. Wall 19 Well 19 is owned by W. N. Hinson, The flow is under control. The meter was lowered on September 7 to a depth of 276 feet below the top of the 8-inch collar, 0.5 foot above ground. When the valve was closed there was a flow in this well, amounting to about 8 gallons a minute. I The water came up from a depth of about 275 feet, passed over the top of the 6-inch casing at a do-pth of 10 to 15 feet, and thence probably escaped through or under the 8-inch casing. 27.
