This latter, of course, is essential since water is not the only fluid; in potash mines magnesium chloride liquor is used. Borehole set horizontal. Atmospheres of Pressure Fig. —Horizontal borehole profile. Figure 11a illustrates this simple principle, being an actual example from a German potash mine where a fluid of sp. gr. is being employed. To get the ordinate at the length 340 m., where the gage has registered atm. of pressure fall, proceed thus: 10 X = m. and similarly for the length 500 m. registering 4 atm. fall: 10 X 4 _^ __ -3^275-= m. h. When the borehole deviates upward, the pressure is read at each desired spot by sending in the gage on the rods.
