At sundry times from before 1800 to even after 1900, owners of water powers have granted rights as measured by specific uses, such as to operate "a run of stones," or "one saw," etc., and an equally large number of grants do not have even this restriction, but simply allude to the nature of the industry to be driven. Thus, on one dam in New York, at times from 1808 to 1850, separate water grants were sold for a saw mill, a woolen mill, a machine shop, nail works, a paper mill, a tannery, a force pump, a trip hammer, a carding mill, an oil mill, etc., all being subordinate to an undefined cotton mill. There was no mention of the number of saws, the sets of woolen machinery, the mechanisms in the shop, the number of nail cutters, the equipment or product of the paper mill, the number and kind of hides tanned per day, etc. No one is living who worked in the mills as constructed. None of the original mills are in existence. The water rights have been absorbed by some half dozen industries. The industrial character of the locality has changed.
