WATER RESOURCES. 401

their supply from the Black Creek and some from the Peedee forma-
tion. Those concerning which detailed information has been obtained
are included in the table below.

Some additional information is here given. In the vicinity of Wal-
lace there are many wells which tap Peedee horizons. Those located
on low ground along Rockfish and Doctors creeks furnish small flows.
Those on higher ground do not flow.

At Calypso and vicinity there are a large number of wells ranging in
depth from 30 to 60 feet. Those in valleys as a rule flow a small
stream, while those on higher ground must be fitted with suction or
force pumps.

One flowing well has been reported at Albertson. It is situated on
low ground, and the water obtained is ferruginous.

Assays of waters from this county are given in Table 1, pp. 496, 497,
assays Nos. 76-84. These are discussed on page 487.

Artesian Prospects.—In general it may be said that the Black Oreek
formation, which underlies the northwestern part of the county and
passes beneath the Peedee formation to the southeastward, and the Pee-
dee formation, which underlies the southeastern half of the county, con-
tain abundant supplies of potable water. In most parts of the county
flowing wells are possible on low ground bordering the streams, if ‘sunk
to sufficient depths. On higher ground the water will rise sufficiently
near the surface to be within the reach of force or suction pumps.
