By MYRON L. FULLER and SAMUEL SANFORD. PROGRESS IN THE COLLECTION OF WELL RECORDS AND SAMPLES, 1905. By MYEON L. FULLER. ^M The present is the second of the series of reports on the collection of deep-well samples, the first- of which, covering the period from the beginning of the work July 1, 1904, to December 31, 1904, was published as Bulletin No. 264. This report presents the records of a large number of wells from which more or less complete sets of samples have been secured and placed on file at the Survey, and. also many additional records not represented by samples. The work has been conducted by the eastern section, division of hydrology, the expense being shared with the western section of hydrology and the geologic branch. The writer has continued in charge of the investigations and has been assisted by Messrs. E. F. Lines and Samuel Sanford. The burden of executive details has fallen mainly on Mr. Sanford since his assignment to the work on its relinquishment by Mr. Lines April 1. The methods followed are in most particulars those formulated by Mr. A. C. Veatch on the inauguration of the work in 1904, but to Mr. Sanford is due the credit for materially increasing the usefulness of the work to the driller, especially in furnishing geologic information. OBJECTS OF THE WORK. GENERAL STATEMENT. The chief objects of the collection of well samples and the publi­ cation of records were: (1) To encourage drilling by pointing out to prospective well owners the probabilities of success, (2) to assist, drillers by helping them to a better understanding of the rock succession and by interpreting for them their samples and records, and (3) to furnish to geologists accurate stratigraphic data from which a more intimate economic or scientific knowledge of the geologic conditions could be derived. 6 BECOED OF DEEP-WELL DEILLLNG FOE Much has been accomplished toward achieving the objects indicated. The sinking of wells has been recommended in numerous instances, drillers have been furnished with advice, well samples have been described and explained, records have been interpreted, and geologists have been supplied with a large number of records. It is hoped that even more will be accomplished during the next year, and it is. with the view of emphasizing to drillers and others the importance to them of the work that more detailed statements of the benefits are given in the following paragraphs. ENCOURAGEMENT OF DRILLING. It is the earnest wish of the Survey to encourage drilling for pure- water supplies. Each year a large number of requests for advice as to the desirability of drilling wells in different localities are received, and recommendations based on the prevailing conditions in the region in question are given. It is evident that every suc­ cessful well tends to lead to the drilling of others for similar supplies, and the more definite the information that can be given as to depth, materials penetrated, quantity and quality of supply, and cost of the well, the better able is the person to judge of the advisability of sinking the well. Failures to obtain supplies do not always, in the long run, tend to discourage drilling, as the cause is often dis­ coverable when accurate records are available and it is possible to suggest remedies so that following wells are more successful. Data as to the small water seams overlying the supposed main water­ bearing bed are of great importance in suggesting sources of supply when for one reason or another the expected flow from the lower bed does not materialize. In general the shallower the wells, beyond a certain limit, the greater will be the demand for drillers, for it is evident that where water can be .obtained within a relatively short distance of the surface and at a moderate cost much more drilling will be done in the aggregate than if the wells had to be sunk many hundreds or thousands of feet, in which case only towns or large corporations could afford to drill. In order that the greatest number of wells may be drilled and the greatest success attained, it is desirable that the Survey be furnished, as a basis for its recommendations to those contemplating drilling, with as full data as possible regarding each well, whether .deep or shallow (if over 100 feet) and whether successful or not. Another point that should be more widely appreciated among drillers is that the man who goes about his work intelligently is most likely to secure the large contracts. The work of large cor­ porations is generally conducted along severely practical lines, and when drilling is to be done practical men are selected. It is manifest that to the driller who gives careful attention to his work and who OBJECTS OF THE WORK. 7 not only sees that machinery is in proper condition and that it is properly handled, but also studies and keeps careful records of the character of the rocks to be penetrated, their dip, and the nature of the joints, seams, or bedding which may control the occurrence of water, a contract can be given with much greater assurance of success than to one who drills blindly ahead without such study and records. ASSISTANCE TO DRILLERS OR OTHERS. CORRESPONDENCE. Information in regard to rock succession and structure. No matter how complete and thorough a driller's information in regard to a given field may be, there almost always comes a time when he is required to sink a well.in new and unknown territory. One of the commonest requests received by the Survey is for information as to the nature of the rock at a certain point in such regions, as to the depths of supposed productive horizons, and as to the characters of the forma­ tions which must be penetrated to reach them. This information will be cheerfully furnished by the Survey whenever the data are available, and it is hoped the driller and well owner.will reciprocate by furnishing such details as will enable this organization to offer even more definite advice in the future. Information in regard to prospects for water, oil, or gas. The demand for information in regard to prospects for oil, gas, or water is great and constantly increasing. While it is of course impossible in most cases to make absolute predictions as to the occurrence of these substances, even after detailed investigations in the field, and it is still more impracticable to make them from the office, yet for certain regions and for certain rocks it is possible to make very definite statements and to give advice which if followed would prevent the waste of hundreds of thousands of dollars in drilling in hopeless situations. For other regions, while only the drill will finally decide the presence or absence of water, oil, or gas, certain generalizations can often be made from the success of wells in adjacent territory, the data relating

    Summary of Sexual Abuse Claims in Chapter 11 Cases of Boy Scouts of America There are approximately 101,135sexual abuse claims filed. Of those claims, the Tort Claimants’ Committee estimates that there are approximately 83,807 unique claims if the amended and superseded and multiple claims filed on account of the same survivor are removed. The summary of sexual abuse claims below uses the set of 83,807 of claim for purposes of claims summary below.1 The Tort Claimants’ Committee has broken down the sexual abuse claims in various categories for the purpose of disclosing where and when the sexual abuse claims arose and the identity of certain of the parties that are implicated in the alleged sexual abuse. Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a chart that shows the sexual abuse claims broken down by the year in which they first arose. Please note that there approximately 10,500 claims did not provide a date for when the sexual abuse occurred. As a result, those claims have not been assigned a year in which the abuse first arose. Attached hereto as Exhibit 2 is a chart that shows the claims broken down by the state or jurisdiction in which they arose. Please note there are approximately 7,186 claims that did not provide a location of abuse. Those claims are reflected by YY or ZZ in the codes used to identify the applicable state or jurisdiction. Those claims have not been assigned a state or other jurisdiction. Attached hereto as Exhibit 3 is a chart that shows the claims broken down by the Local Council implicated in the sexual abuse.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.
