LABORATORY NO. 434639 Water sent February 19, 1914; by
W. P. Black, Crider, from a well about 80 ft. deep, bored ~*
in the summer of 1913 on his farm two miles east of Crider,
on the Crider and Farmersville road and about one mile east
of the water divide between Cumberland and Tradewater
Rivers The boring passed through 6 ft. of soil, 30 ft. of
limestone, 20 to 25 ft. of sandstone, a thin stratum of lead
or zinc and about 20 ft. into limestone, where the water F.
was found, apparently in a large stream flowing in a cavity
in the limestone. The supply appears to be inexhaustible.
Sample when received showed a slight milky turbidity and
a very slight, whitish, ilocculent precipitate.

The mineral matter is mainly calcium carbonate, with a
littlc calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, potassium sulfate,
sodium chlorid, and traces of iron, manganese, lithium and
strontium compounds.
lt is rather too hard a water for domestic use, but does not
contain enough mineral matter to be classed as amineral
water, though it should be wholesome for drinking.
