The hydrogrnphie division of the United States geological survey includes union ' il- niimnriiiu lines of work a study of the arte si tin well conditions of those parts of the United States where such wells are possible, so that it may render practical assistance to the people of such districts in their efforts to obtain a better and more healthful water supp'y. by giving information as to the chances of success, probable depth and character of water. Such information can only be given after a careful study of the geology of the region and a col., lection and study of the records and material passed thpough in as many of the wells as possible of the wells drilled in the region.? After srch study truftworthy advice and assistance may usually he given to parties contemplating drilling artesian wells by which they may he guided where there is prospect of success or warned and prevented from wasting mon? ey where failurt is assured. A large number of aitesian wells have been drilled in South Carolina, but almost no study has been made of the ye..logical problems involved in the search for artdsian water in this State, and almost no samples of materials have h en yreserved except from a well or two in Charleston. This division of the United States geological survey has placed Pr L C Glenn of the South Carolina Collegs in charge of the work in South Carolina and he desires to obtain as complete information as possible concerning all wells which have hron horcd in the Stuto of which ho has not already secured records. li is desired to obtain records of the depth of tho well, thickness character and distance heh w tho sin face ?>t* tho various strata gone through, position of the various water-hearing hods, the quantity and quality of ttio water and the height to which it rises with the cost of boring.
