Big Creek, Shaver Lake Dam - Looking northward across Stevenson Creek channel over excavation for Shaver Dam and showing in upper left-hand corner the trestle leading to the crushing plant. The secondary crusher, together with bins over which screens will be installed, is just beginning to show up in this picture. It will be interesting to compare this picture with those which I expect to have taken on September 1st as there will be quite a contrast and a large amount of work will be shown as having taken place during the month of August. .

Big Creek, Shaver Lake Dam - Northwest Gas Shovel at work in the excavation at the north end of the Shaver Lake Dam. The man standing just below the team of horses in the upper central part of the picture is at approximately elevation 5370, which will be the top of the Shaver Dam. The excavation at this point has been made wider than really necessary for the dam in ordcer to secure material to make the fill for the bottom of the storage piles.
