I ’ _ C0., Ky., November 20, 1005. A 3-inch stream was ‘ 
  f struck in their mine at 130 feet depth, and a gas or  
  i ,, I. mist arising from it affects the eyes of the miners.  
_ ill, ; . The sample was a 4-oz. bottle of water containing a good deal r
y ., rl   of white sediment and having a salty taste and faint smell of  `
i 7 petroleum. Qualitative tests showed the presence of much so-  
,i_° dium chloride with calcium chloride magnesium! chloride, cal-  
,° L cium sulphate, calcium carbonate, lithium carbonate and traces  ·-
I i . of iodides, bromides, potassium, lithium and strontium. The i 
i · " ‘ A sediment contained free sulphur with some silica and iron.  
 _ p This is a saline water of a kind often obtained by boring in  
` _‘ . our limestone rocks. The presence of free sulphur in the sedi- `,
i _ ment suggests that the water may have been accompanied by  
V· i J hydrogen sulphide gas which may, perhaps, have a:H’ecterl the g 
_»   miners’ eyes, or it may have been due to a small quantity of  
. il , natural gas or other hydrocarbon.

i ` dug well 24 feet deep, on the farm of Calvin Gillespie,  
· 1% miles northeast of that place, on the Mulberry and {_

g stronger at times. It is drunk as a medicinal water, l
with good results. Sample brought June 14, 1000, by
