Previously called Arnold's fountain, it was renamed for the sculpture's creator after the death of the property owners. Elmer Almquist built the sculpture out of salvaged mine equipment. Water spouts out of the taller pipes and cascades through the notches of the big beveled gear. Funnel shaped cone crushers capture the water like bowls, giving it places to pause and gurgle over.
