<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2888 <br /> <br />Three other wells tap or have tapped the Junction <br /> <br /> <br />Creek. Stock well B-9 in sec. 23, T. 35 N., R. 19 W., <br /> <br /> <br />(fig. 2) yields approximately 20 gpm. The California <br /> <br /> <br />Company well B-12 (fig. 2) flowed 9 gpm before caving. <br /> <br /> <br />The largest known yield from the Junction Creek was from <br /> <br /> <br />the Continental oil Company test hole B-ll (fig. 2). The <br /> <br /> <br />casing was perforated opposite a zone at a depth of 1,240 <br /> <br /> <br />to 1,260 feet. The well flowed approximately 200 gpm, <br /> <br /> <br />the water rising 50 feet above the land surface. At <br /> <br /> <br />present,(1963), water from the well is used for stock <br /> <br /> <br />and drilling. Unfortunately, the high mineral content <br /> <br /> <br />of the water (5,100 parts per million dissolved solids) <br /> <br /> <br />prohibits its use for domestic supplies. It is possible <br /> <br /> <br />that highly mineralized water under artesian pressure <br /> <br /> <br />from formations underlying the Junction Creek may have <br /> <br /> <br />broken into this well from below and contaminated the <br /> <br /> <br />Junction Creek water. Water from the Junction Creek at <br /> <br /> <br />Towaoc, nearer the recharge area, ~s of better quality <br /> <br /> <br />and is used for domestic purposes. <br /> <br />,trJ" <br />
