    25 firmly fixed in the sand. A bottom of some strong wood not liable to split about two inches in thickness with a circular opening in the center, of at least six inches, is firmly connected to the inside of the pump by bolts,

    30 nails, or screws, immediately above the triangular openings. In the upper side of the bottom, are inserted in a secure manner, about twelve pieces of whale-bone of five and six inches, alternate in length, inclin

    35 ing to a point at top so as to form a cone, to prevent the escape of coarse gravel when received in the vacuum. This cone may be formed of slips of tough wood, plates _ of elastic metal, or any other substitute which

    40 will preserve a conical form, easily admitting the substance to be excavated and preventing its escape. Whale bone is found to answer the purpose perfectly, can easily be replaced when broken, is elastic, strong, and

    45 cheap. To prevent sand and fine gravel from escaping, a shirt or piece of canvas, of about the size of the inside of the pump, is nailed or otherwise attached to the bottom, immediately and closely around the inser

    50 tion of the whale-bones. It is about twelve inches in length and open at the top, and collapsing around the cone prevents the passage of air substances from the bottom of the pump except water.

    The piston (E.) is in the usual form of 55 cast iron, firmly attached to its rod, and having from eight to twelve holes of an inch or less in diameter, to permit the escape of the water, but should not be so large as to permit coarse gravel to pass, which, by be- 60 coming wedged between the outside of the pump and the tubing^ would obstruct the removal of the pump when charged or . loaded with gravel. Encircling the rod is a thin cast iron cap or valve (F) with leather 65 secured to its under side and allowed to play or slide upon the rod about three inches to a bulb or enlargement of the rod (Gr.) The upper extremity of the neck is surrounded by a band (H.) attached by rivets, and 70 bent so as to form holes or eyes (I) for the attachment of the bail (J) which encircling the rod at its curve, its extremities pass through the eyes, and for its more ready connection and detachment, are secured by the 75 split, or double wedge elastic keys ?.(&).

    Use: This pump, or machine, is inserted in a well, or shaft, which should be properly tubed, with cast or sheet iron or other

    883

    proper material with space to permit it to pass readily, and having a rope, or rods connected with the end of the piston, is worked in the manner of a pump, until suf5 ficiently charged with the substance to-be removed, when it is raised by a windlass or other power. It is particularly adapted to the excavating of shaft pan'brine, and was discovered while excavating wells for that

    10 purpose, as no instrument was known, which would readily raise the gravel from the bed without great delay, and difficulty, and at same time leave the sides of the well loose, and pervious to the transmission of the brine;

    15 the ordinary process of drilling merely crowding the stones from the shaft, and rendering the sides of the well compact, hard, and nearly excluding the passage of small streams of'brine into the well. It can be made

    20 of any size corresponding with the tubing, or capacity of the shaft, but the above is recommended as a suitable size, which has been found by practice, to answer a valuable purpose. It may also be used to excavate sand,

    25 or gravel, from docks, or rivers, and to

    raise articles from beneath deep water, when their location is known.

    What we claim in behalf of Ebenezer Rice'and'the legal representatives of James and the legal representatives of James J. 30 J. Rice, deceased, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is??

    The manner in which we have combined and connected the respective parts of the above described machine, for the purpose 35 of excavating wells and shafts, and the removal of sand and gravel therefrom; that is to say, we claim the combination of the exhausting apparatus with the cylinder, the conical bars of whale-bone, or other mate- 40 rial, and the canvas surrounding the same, constructed and operating in the manner set forth. ??:'?'-''

    Improvement in apparatus for sinking Wells in alluvial soils. By Ebenezer Rice, Salina, N. Y. Nov. 26th 1841.
    Claim.—What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by letters patent, is the method of sinking wells in alluvial soils, and marshy grounds, by means of wooden tubing formed jn lengths, connected together by metal bands or hoops sunk in the ends, together with a metal band on the outside, and provided with a metal tube at the bottom, and also the follower on the top constructed and applied in the manner and for the purposes described in the above specification.

    Ebenezer married Caroline White on 15 Feb 1820 in Chatham, Middlesex, Connecticut, USA. Caroline (daughter of Joseph White and Hannah Gates) was born on 10 Mar 1796 in , Middlesex, Connecticut, USA; died on 9 Aug 1883 in Middlefield, Otsego, New York, USA; was buried in Syracuse, Onondaga, New York, USA.
