The Worlds Deepest Wells.
From the Proqressiue Aqe.

The deepest well drilled in the United
States is that of George Westinghouse, at
Homewood, near the city of Pittsburg,
which, on Dec. 1, 1886, had reached depth
of 46lS feet, when the tools were lost and
drilling ceased. The Buchanan farm well
of the Niagara Oil Company, drilled by
Frederick Croker in Hopewell township,
Washington county, is 1903 feet deep.
The Rush well of the Niagara Oil Com
pany, in Washington county, was aban-
doned at $500 feet. The deep well of iona
than Watson, near Titusville, was drilled
about $500 feet. j. NJ. Guffey & Co.'S well
on the Walz farm at West Newton. III
Westmoreland county, was drilled to a
depth of $500 feet. The well of Isaac Will
let's, at Sargents Mills, near Sycamore, in
Greene county, was abandoned at 3,00S feet.
The deepest bore hole in Europe is at
Schladebach, near Kotschau station, on the
railway be ween Corbetha and Leipzig, and
was u dertaken by the Prussian Govern
ment in search for coal. The apparatus
used is a diamond drill, down the hollow
shaft OF which water is forced, rising again
to the surface outside the shaft of the drill
and inside the tube in which the drill works.
BY this method cores of about fifty feet
in length have been obtained. The average
length bored in twenty-four hours is from
twenty to thirty three feet. but under ia
vorable circumstances as much as 1870 feet
has been bored in that time Other deep
