The wheel on the side of the mill was turned by the force of the water in the stream. The turning of the wheel made two round stones, called a quirn, grind together. Grain was ground into flour between these two large stones.

Oil Well
The oil well pumped oil from the ground. These two pictures show the blast of vapor that came from an oil well when it was unclogged by dropping a pointed iron weight onto a dynamite cartridge inside the bore of the well.
