The object of my invention is toproduce an instrument by means of which a wellruay be bored and reamed rapidly, cheaply, and efficiently, .wi'thout'the use of a sand-pump or a. reciprocating drill. In carrying out inyinvention, I make a conical or an ovoid-pointed burr or'borer, having something of the character of a brace-and-bit iron re'amer. Such burr is provided with three or morecurved cutting-faces, placed at equal. distances around its point, and is connected with the base of a hollow cylinder by a socketioint.; li ts curved cutting-faces take a spiral form, and are continued up to the top of the cyl inder, there'by'forming parallel spiral grooves on the outside of the cylinder. The burnout ters reduce, the-rock below it and along its sides, while the edges-of the spiral grooves act as reamers, the grooves themselves performin g the oifice of. elevator's'and raising the silt or reduced rock nearly to the top-of the'cyliuder, here the grooves are intersected'byopeulogo which admit the silt and reduced rock to the inside of the cylinder, from which they are discharged when it is full by raising the instrument from the Welland removiuglthe "burr or borerl The hollow cylinder may be made long enough to hold all the silt that will accumu-- late while the burr isbeing worn dull in horin g ordinary rock. The burr and cylinder should be made of acornbinatiou of Franklin'ite or crys'tallized'ii'on so called,;for the purpose of I obtaining a'hardand tenacious substance. A

A designates a hollow cylinder, whose greatest diameter is the diameter to be given to the bore of the well. Its exterior is providedwith three spiral grooves, which may be angular in cross-section, the base of their angles being at a right'angle to the axis of the cylinder, and consequently formingcuttingcdges J, K,an d
L, which extend from near the'upper endofthe cylinder down'to its feet.
. A square socket is formed in the foot of the cylinder to receive the square neck E of a borer or burr, D, of ovoid form, fromwhose end arise three curved cutting-edges, I,seenv most plainly in "Fig. 3, which, afterdescii'bing about one-third of a circle on the sides of the borer are continued upward to meet the spiral edges-J K L, respectively, with which they form continuous spiral cuttingedges. The borer or burr Dhas an axial-perforation from the too of the neck E 'down' nearly to its point, when it branches off into.
. several small passages, F, which opennear, its
point just within the angles made by the cutting-edges I. This axial perforation communicates, when the borer D and cylinder Aware joined together, .with ..:a small. water, ipe or' tube, B, which runs through the center of cylinder A and is carried up through itsneck H, so that it may also communicate with the usual hollow drill-rod that extends to the surface oi" the ground. The borer or hurr D is firmly fixed to cylinder A by screws or otherv suite!- ble fastenitigs. A q
