V Flume discharging Lumber, Carson.

California State Library

This is a Carleton Watkins view of the lumberyard of the Carson & Tahoe Lumber & Fluming Company, located south of Carson City. The flumes coming down from Lake Tahoe terminated here, bringing sawed logs down from the mills at Glenbrook. Here the wood was stacked and loaded onto the trains of the V&T Railroad. The view shows the end of the flume, where the logs were removed. This is one piece of a stereo pair.
