Big Creek, Florence Lake Dam - Fallen flume alongside reach below Ward Tunnel outlet. The trees which have fallen into the channel have either been removed entirely or else have been trimmed of branches, a certain amount of which has been placed against the bank at the left of the picture to aid in preventing further washing. The Link Belt shovel is now at work moving along up-stream in the bed of the new channel and throwing rocks over against the bank in the way of rip-rap. .
