The deepest hole in the ground in Texas is at Spur, Diokens county, south of the eastern portion of the Panhandle. It was intended to be a well when 8. M. Swenson & Sons, holders of extensive Panhandle lands, employed H. P. Minihan to drill it, and was to have supplied the hamlet of Spnr with water. As a well, however, it. was a failure, but as a medium of increasing the knowledge of the scientific world as regards deep stratigraphy and as exploration of the formations of the vicinity, it wa9 a great success.

For well purposes the hole was abandoned in November, 1913, when a depth of 4,489 feet had been attained. The cost of boring was slightly less than $10 per foot, thus the total cost was nearly $50,000, including the cost of the rig, piping and all expenses.
