Description
Photograph of a view of a flume over the Soquel Basin, showing a man and a boy, ca.1930. The wooden flume curves from the lower right to the upper middleground, bisecting the picture as it recedes into the tree-covered hillside which fills the middle- and background. The flume contains moving water, though no logs are visible. A man in a suit and hat stands in the left foreground with a young boy. The basin, below the flume, is an expanse of exposed rock and grass. Possibly located in the town of Soqual, or the county of Santa Cruz (on old Wawona Road?). This flume, built in 1874, is 63 miles in length, ending at Madera. It is "V" shaped and five feet across at the top. It was used jointly by the Sugar Pine Lumber Company, The Madera Sugar Pine Company, and The California Lumber Company.
