Description
Photograph shows the end of the Sierra Lumber Company flume in Chico, California. Men pulled the planks of wood from the flume and skidded them down to a platform where they were loaded onto track dollies for piling. The flume turned north on Pine Street and discharged the water back into Big Chico Creek. It was said that the fishing in the flume was good for mountain trout.
