The well was started with % inch
casing. Inside this casting Is
inch pipe was sunk to q depth Of $40
feet, and inside of this IL inch
pipe was teleseoped to . depth Of
1900. Then a 8 inch pipe was
telescopei to depth of 2,363 feet.
A 6inch pipe was then inserted and
a depth of 3.O7O feet 9'inebes was
reached. No water was found nor
any rock penetrated. The contrac-
tors have complied with their
contract, which was to bore to the
depth Of 5000 feet, were paid S76,-
900. and further work abandoned.
This is the deepest on the seacoast
in the United States, and a do.
scription OF the different strata
pierced by the boring is interesting.
From the surface to depth of DO
feet there was stratum Of of gray
sand, thenc to a depth of 64 feet
was layer of red clay an shells.
thence 10 depth of 100 feet was a.
stratum Of blue clay, sea shell and
fragments of rotten wood, From
this to 3l5 feet sands and sea shells
were encountered, and from that
depth to the Sis feet level sand and
clay were discovered. From the.
s45 feet level to the depth Of 1888
feet sand, clay sea shells and decayed,
wood were found. and from that
depth to the 1910 feet level varying
strata Of sand, clay and logs were
encountered. At the very bottom
Of the hole bed Of SEQ shells was
struck. The contractors expended
$4,000 before they completed the
work. Scientific American.
