machinery, lumber, mine tram roadbeds, slag heaps, and other evidence of human <br />• activity. The remains of Haybro Town and Mine tipple area are described below. <br />(See the sketch map for locations of these features.) <br />C. Tipple foundation. Remains consist of the poured concrete foundation for <br />the tipple, in situ, some of the metal pieces which housed tipple machinery, and some <br />charred wooden beams on top of the structure. The date 1920 clearly shows on the <br />southeast top portion of the structure. Except for scanty metal remains, no other <br />machinery exists in the area surrounding the tipple foundation. Recent bulldozing <br />would have covered any items at the base of the structure (see Photo I). <br />D. Concrete wall foundation in hillside immediately west of tipple foundation <br />and in line with old tram line. Possibly the remains of a portion of a wall for a <br />tipple structure. The north half of the wall is smooth concrete; the south half is of <br />rough mortar. There is also a rough mortar floor segment in association. Some <br />wooden debris and cable lie below and on the top of this wall. <br />E. Cement floor west of the tipple foundation and on hillside above it, in line <br />• with the old tram line from the mine. Remains consist of a concrete floor, several <br />metal shoes, and the remains of a portion of a metal beam with wooden boards and <br />a wooden frame. Its location suggests it was also a portion of the former tipple <br />structure. <br />F. Wooden debris and end of tailings pile. A few sections of cable and other <br />metallic remains have also been dumped here. Debris may have been from the old <br />wooden tipple building. <br />G. A few ties, some in situ, from the mine Tracks above and west of the <br />Haybro tipple. The small size of ties and location directly above railroad grade <br />indicate their use as mine track. They were apparently connected at the northwest <br />end to the aerial tram from the mine. <br />H. Shed. Remains consist of timber framing and corrugated metal siding; <br />portions of The ends are missing. Interior is filled with historic debris including a <br />bucket, a metallic petroleum product contai ner, cinderblocks, boards, and miscel- <br />• laneous, nondescript garbage. A metal stove (presumably coal-burning) i s inside the <br />shed. S hed is located on hillside above tipple foundation and south of the tipple area. <br />
