tallow pot - Jeff

The round metal tank inside the housing at McEwen is an old gas tank. The end was cut out and the metal tank set on end to make a water tank. A valve was installed in the bottom end. If you look closely you will see that the bottom is not flat but slightly rounded. The fact that it was a gas tank also explains why it is coated with a tar like substance in some places.
