i According to a circular of Moody & Bremaker, the former  
{ proprietors, this water was struck March 17, 1886, at a ;}l·"f,;*‘,
i? depth of 1952 feet, in a white rock which appeared at about    P
. _1900 feet, the flow of water finally becoming so strong that    
» boring had to. be discontinued. Different veins of water  
1 were found at various depths for 1150 feet, but the well  
yl was securely cased down to 1200 feet to exclude them and  
E from there on for 700 feet the rock was dry. The well has  
_ continued to flow steadily. The well was bored for gas but  
only a small quantity accompanies the water. The water  
i has some reputation as amedicinal water, laxative in effect `  
and beneficial in dyspepsia. It was marketed under the  
name of St. Patrick’s Well Water. Sample a 5-allon car-  
  boy of clear water. Taste saline and bitter with a peculiar _  
  flavor suggesting free iodin, but none could be detected by  
1 shaking with carbon bisulfid. Bromin was easily detected  
l by shaking with carbon bisulfid and chlorin.
