      One
        of the interesting items found were threaded anchor bolts about one inch
        in diameter.  In at least one area a built up footing was found and
        is believed to be a machinery mount.  Here, John Stewart is
        cleaning off the footing from years of vegetation and forest
        litter.  The anchor bolt pattern on this footing was two rows of
        four bolts, and the distance from first to fourth bolt was about 13
        feet.  Assuming one device was anchored here, it could have been a
        steam engine, a pump, a compressor or a hoist.  A literature search
        indicates that there were many devices available that would have fit on
        this footing in the 1870's.  |
