· calcium sulphate and traces of iodides, bromides, borates, _ .
iron, silica, zinc, potassium sulphate and lithium carbonate.
On burning the residue there was a slight odor of sul-
phur, indicating that the water may have originally con-
tained hydrogen sulphide.
SIMPSON COUNTY. O
36075-Salt-Sulphur water from a well 49 feet deep, nine
miles east of Franklin, Ky. The well is on the farm
of Herbert Ellis, and was drilled in 1909. Sample
a gallon jug of sulphur water with a greenish color.
ANALYSIS.
One gallon contains 107.2 grains of solid matter (1.838
gram per liter) composed of sodium chloride, sodium sul- U
phate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, and tra.ces
of sodium sulphide.
. There are 3. grains of free and combined hydrogen
sulphide per gallon. In addition there are traces of iron,
potassum sulphate, lithium and strontium carbonates and
silica.
TODD COUNTY.
· 36095—Salt-sulphur water sent by Dr. E. M. Weathers for
B. L. Penick, Elkton, Ky., from a well 52 feet deep.
Sample a half gallon jug received about the middle
· of March, 1911. .
ANALYSIS.
One gallon contains 314.0 grains of mineral matter
(5.384 grams per liter) composed of sodium chloride, calci-
um carbonate, magnesium carbonate, sodium sulphate and
sodium sulphide with traces of iodides, iron, zinc, potassium
sulphate, silica and lithium carbonate. The free and com-
bined hydrogen sulphide amounts to 19.8 grains per gallon.
This is a strong salt-sulphur water. Z _
