It is provided with a valve to control the flow. A view is shown on Plate 3, D.

On the basis of an 8-inch well casing, about 50 gallons a minute entered the well while it was shut and moved upward. About 10 gallons a minute was lost from the well at a depth of 470 to 495 f-jet, about 11 gallons a minute was lost at a depth of 402 feet, and the remaining flow of 26 to 28 gallons a minute continued upward and left the ..ell at a depth of 64 feet.
