SWINGING PILLAR IS FOUND
Hunters Uncover Phenomenon In
Green Mountain, Near Canon
City, Col.
Canon City, Colo.Gently swaying
to and fro, a huge granite monolith
forming a unique natural monument
has been discovered on Green moun
tain, several miles north of this city.
It is believed to be the only "swinging"
monument" in the world.
The shaft Is more than 100 feet
high, and in the course of many years,
has become free from all surrounding
earth formation, except at the base,
which Is about 12 feet wide. In. the
center, the granite column tapers off
to a width at the summit practically
the same as at the base.
Lee Hughitt, water commissioner of
City, and A. V. Hodgin, Fre
mont county commissioner, came
across the phenomenon recently while
on a hunting trip.
They report that the entire shaft
moves, probably from two to three
feet at the apex, and the swinging is
constant under the pressure of light
winds. The base of the shaft, they
said, rests in a small hollow about
three feet In depth and the contiguous
granite formation has been entirely
disconnected.,
