Description
This view of the old lumber mill at Shaver Lake was taken in October 1920. By this time, it was owned by the Edison Company, and was nearing the end of its operations. Prior to being dismantled to make way for the new Shaver Lake reservoir, the mill cut much of the form lumber used in the construction of Power House #8.

    Shaver's lumber company depended upon a 60-mile-long flume to float cut lumber to the finishing mill and drying yards at Clovis. Portions of the flume traversed some spectacular scenery, such as at Rocky Point, on the flanks of Musick Mountain. Although abandoned as long ago as 1917, one section of flume still survives today.
