This image affords a rare view of the entire sugar mill infrastructure shortly after Cobos' death. The view is toward the west from the upper floor of the Hacienda House. The smokestack is barely visible against the horizon toward the middle of the frame. It appears in Las Islas Encantada o el Archipielago de Colon (Bognoly and Epinoza 1905:137).

The boilers, one of the two preserved examples which is located to the rear at right, were combined with supporting structures that housed externally fed combustion chambers. Variously referred to as dutch ovens or fire boxes they were large enough to completely combust bagasse fuel.

This intact boiler, one of the two preserved examples, provided the necessary steam required to operate the press engine and other processing equipment. The holes on the end plates suggest that the steam was supplied by a system of horizontal return tubular (HRT) fire tube boilers. Each opening was connected by a horizontal tube to its counterpart on the opposite end. Heat was conducted from the externally-fired dutch oven through each tube via a flue on the back end of the combustion chamber. The multiple tubes created a large surface area for heating the surrounding water within the sealed boiler. At least 114 openings can be counted on one intact boiler end. Deerr (1911:404) calculated that a seven foot diameter boiler with 120 tubes can supply 1800 ft² of heating surface.

"Pampa Mia is a little concrete house covered with metal roofing sheets. It is divided into a living room, two bedrooms and a kitchen. Around the house hibiscus and bougainvillea are protected from the chickens and cattle by means of a wire fence....in the Spring of 1985 ... the grass on the pampas was withered and brown. Only hardy guava bushes with their green leaves interrupted the monotonous brown. Snefrid did not know how many head of cattle were still alive. They were scattered over a wide area looking for food and water, making accurate counting impossible. Almost every day they found animals that had recently perished. Maybe 800-900 remained. The previous year they had 1600 animals."

The quantity of preserved alcohol bottles in the midden assemblage suggest that beer and/or hard liquor were more popular than wine on the hacienda. However, bottles in a remote place like Hacienda El Progreso were likely reused many times before being discarded.

The first known introduction of goats to the islands may have occurred as early as AD 1693. Currently naturalized on three islands and eradicated on another 11, goats are a highly problematic invasive. These feral goats were photographed in 2014 in the highlands above Hacienda La Tranquila, despite declarations that no wild goats were to be found on San Cristóbal.

Discarded gun cartridge shells clearly date the midden associations. They include a “Nitro Club”12-gauge shot shell (1891-1911), a Winchester 30-30 cartridge (>1895), and a Peters 12-gauge shot shell made after 1887.
