The Wagon and Boiler on Gregory Street
A heavy wagon with a large iron boiler has stood on Gregory Street for seven summers. The loaded four wheeler came from Atchison after a long plains crossing and belonged to a miner who hoped to woo a girl beyond the desert. After a rival won the girl he left, selling his mules and abandoning the wagon, which later drew interest from an Eastern capitalist. The boiler remains near the old shanty, slowly succumbing to time despite plans to ship it east.
