Wood-engraved pictorial lettersheet, front sheet only, trimmed a bit at margins. Image 14.8x20 cm (5¾x7¾"); sheet size 18.4x23.5 cm (7¼x9¼") Active fluming operation. At left, river diverted into new flume course, smaller flume at right; larger flume powers many pumps to keep river bed dry. Hill, right, with a few small buildings; hill, left, sparsely covered with trees. The Feather River became famous during the gold rush as the site of many mining camps, including Rich Bar, remembered because of Dame Shirley, and Bidwell Bar. It was later the site of much hydraulic mining, which clogged the river bed and caused floods. This view most likely Bidwell Bar, Oroville Butte, County.
