LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. 

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, 

UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, 

DIVISION OF HYDROGRAPHY, 

Washington, D. C., Not,ember 27, 1901. 

SIR: I have the honor to transmit herewith Part II of a preliminary 

list of deep borings in the United States ( 400 feet or more in depth), 

by Mr. N. H. Darton, with the request that it be published in the 

series of Water-Supply and Irrigation Papers. Part I is in type as 

Paper No. 57. It has been found necessary to divide the whole into 

two papers, because of the statutory limit of 100 pages for these papers. 

Very respectfully, 

lion. CHARLES D. WALCOTT, 

F. H. NEWELL, 

Hydrographer in Oharge. 

Director United States Geologic(tl Swrvey. ,..,

PRELIMINARY IJST OF DEEP BORINGS IN THE UNITED 

STATES. 

PART II.-NEBRASI{A-"VYOMING. 

By N. H. DARTON. 

INTRODUCTION. 

The wells and borings reported in the paper are all more than 400 

feet in depth. The information concerning them has been obtained 

partly from replies to circular letters sent to all parts of the United 

States an<l partly from geological reports and other published sources. 

o,ving to the "difficulty of obtaining replies to the circulars, to lack 

of knowledge on the part of correspondents, and to the incompleteness of published records, doubtless there are borings which have not 

been reported. In regions of oil and gas wells, where borings are 

numerous, the individual wells can not he listed here, but representative wells are given. References to logs or records of the wells, or 

ext,ended descriptions of them, are given in footnotes, and after the 

list of wells in each State there is added a list of the principal publications re1.ating to deep borings in that State. 

The bearing of the information given in the columns of the lists 

probably is apparent, unless, perhaps, in the one headed "Height to 

which the water rises." In this eolumn an entry such as "-45" 

indicates that the water rises to within 45 feet of the surface; "+ 45" 

indicates that it is a flowing well and has sufficient head to raise the 

water 45 feet above the surface in an open pipe 45 feet or more in 

height. ~rhe yield in gallons per minut.e usually is estimated. Depths 

and diameters often have been reported frcm memory, and different 

sources of publication sometimes give different figures. Most wells 

which are not stated to be "for oil," "for gas," "brine," " abandoned," etc., in the ~·emarks column, or "not any" in the yield 

eolumn, generally afford more 01' l~ss water. Many of the gas and 

oil wells, active or abandoned, yield salt water.
