Class IllInventory, Colowyo's Collom Mine Project 223 L-1 approximately 10 ft square and 4 ft deep located 75 ft (25 m) north of Feature 1. Several large sandstone rocks are present along the interior south edge of the feature. Feature 4 is a rock foundation that measures 14 x 18 ft and is located 65 ft (20 m) northwest of Feature 1. Unshaped sandstone rocks are located along only the south and east walls, suggesting that the structure may have been open to the north and west. The remains of both wagons are poorly preserved and incomplete. The first wagon consists of the single -tree hitch and fragments of the box. The second wagon consists of only the single -tree hitch and front axle. The sled, like the wagons, is in poor condition and consists only of the deteriorated frame comprised of two 10 x 3 -ft sections. The hay rack is an A frame that is 18 ft in length and 9 ft wide that may have been mounted or used as a sled. Two disconnected wagon axle shafts are nearby and may be associated with the rack. The apparatus appears to have been homemade. The original spring -fed water source located in the northern part of the site is now depleted. Several lengths of lead pipe, lumber scraps, and a 16 -inch diameter galvanized water tank are associated with the spring. The trash concentration is located in the east - central part of the site 60 ft (18 m) north of Feature 1. The debris is primarily comprised of glass, tin cans, and miscellaneous artifacts. The glass artifacts are categorized as either canning jars or beverage vessels. The canning jars are all clear glass with threaded finishes and, with one exception, are 1 -qt size containers. Of the 11 canning jars, eight specimens (including the one 2 -qt size jar) have the Hazel -Atlas Glass Co. maker's mark used from 1920 to 1964 (Toulouse 1971). Two jars have a Knox Glass Bottle Co. of Knox, Pennsylvania, maker's mark in use from 1924 to 1968. One jar is embossed with "Ball" that has been in use since 1900. The 30 beverage bottles all have crown finishes and are mainly clear glass vessels. The 21 clear glass bottles all have Owens - Illinois Glass Co. maker's marks denoting manufacture from 1930 to 1971. Nineteen were manufactured at the Streaton, Illinois, plant, and two were made at the Alton, Illinois, manufacturing plant. The remaining beverage bottles consist of seven brown glass specimens, one partial green glass specimen, and the round base of one purple- discolored (amethyst) glass specimen.
