Sometime since Mr., John S. King,
sent to Cincinnati for analysis bottle Of
the water from one of the new wells in FL
inipsicO, and the following from Prof h
s. Wayne, shows the result:
CXcNSATI, June 18th, 1873.
MR JOuS S. KING, Agent,
Point Pleasant, West Va,
DEAR Sin Yours with the specimen Of
water sent to F S SURE Il Co.. | have
made an analysis of, aud below baud you
the results
Solid contents in one gallon Of water
1888 grains, composed Of
Carbonate Of lime ........ 6,34 grains
Oxide firon .."..,"..l % "
SuIphate of lime ..,......" 10 "
Chloride calcium .......... VI "
Organic matter traceable "
From the ANALYSIS would say that the
the water contains but a small per cent of
mineral matter, except that of Oxide OF
iron. this is in much larger amount than
usual, aud gives to the water its peculiar
taste, and forms deposit upon standing
There is nothing present in it however,
that renders it unfit for most domestic aud
other purposes, aud az drink think the
presence Of the iron highly beneficial Gl'
ement 10 it notice in the bottle scdi-
ment this is from the separating of the
iron aud lime, in consequence of the loss
Of carbouic acid FROM the water upon
standing or exposure; also an iridesccDt
film on the surface, this too is caused by a
flm Of oxide of iron.
Respectfully yours, &c,
