Patent dispute over artesian well method spans decades

Testimony in a patent office case recounts James Mudge and James Suggett competing claims from the 1860s over drilling wells by driving a tube and pumping water. Green later secured a reissue, sparking appeals up to the Supreme Court, with the patent age now over forty years and expiring in 1885.

Patent on wooden tubing well sinking by Rice in 1840

The document discusses patent applicant E. Rice of Salina Onondaga County New York describing a method to sink wells by forcing a wooden tubing assembly into the earth. The plan uses connected wooden tubes with iron at the bottom and a follower on top, lighter and cheaper for frontier use, with prior usage claimed in earlier examinations and recent legal suits in Minnesota tied to a town case.
