Tha watar came from a depth of 220 to 270 flat and flowed up the well through tha 6-inch casing to within about 6 feet of the surface of the ground, where it flowed over the top of the 6-inch casing. Thence it flowed down between the 6-inch and 8-inch casings and passed through or under the 8-inch casing and probably cama to the surface on the outside as shown by tha spring.

When tha well was closed at the top there was a flow, amounting to about 35 gallons a minute. The water came from the bottom of the well, passed upward, and escaped at a depth of 41 to 43 feet below the surface. Well 8 Well 8 is owned by John Frewalt, well driller.
