where a Tolerance might be readily dug
into the River so that Canoes could come
up to the Mill door, a large quantity
of suitable flat stone for building may might
be readily got on the spot to do such
StoneWork as might be thought neces-
-sary, but against these advantages the
Mill will stand on the North side of a
high Hill loaded with timber so that
the Sun in the Winter season will make
but little impression, and the headrace
will have to be carryed 15 or more pearches
alone the side of a verry steep stony bank
so that it will be with great difficulty a
race can be made for the purpose, a Mill
might be built 10 pearches from the River
above the Rocks, but then Canoes could
not be brought to the Mill by reason of
the great fall in the Stream. we thought
by raising a dam 4 feet high, the water
might be taken out below the Rocks so
as to have 8 or 10 feet head and fall.
as far as we have been able to discouver
streams suitable for Mills are very scarce
on this River.
