It is provided with a valve to control the flow from the well, but when the valve is closed a large number of small springs appear J 1 near the well. Views of this well are shown on Plate 1, B. C. On September 7 tha valve was closed and the flow from the springs as measured was 230 gallons a minute. On the following day, after the wall had been flowing with the valve open for about 24 hours, the total flow from the springs and the well amounted to 360 gallons a minute. The meter was lowered on September 7 to a depth of 230 feet below the valve, which is about at ground level. According to the driller’s log, the well has 136 feet of 8-inch casing and 341 feet of 6-inch casing (from 62 to 402 feet). On the basis of a 6-inch casing, there was a flow amounting to about 15 gallons a minute. The water moved up the inside of the 6-inch casing from a depth of about 230 feet and gradually left the well between depths of 194 and 94 feet from the surface. The meter would not go below a depth
