    I can't for the life of me figure out the first word on the cabinet photo... It will help tremendously in getting a location for the photo! I can read "......?? Falls Flume Washout " I would be so grateful to those who can help me out! Thank you as always!

    Is your photograph cropped?

    Thank you all! I would have never gotten Metaline Falls from that! And yes the photo is cropped, I have a lot of 4 pictures of the flume and dam that was built there. 3 are in original frames, love finding these old cabinet photos of unusual things!

    Looks more like Metaline fell in that picture. Hope nobody got hurt, but that sort of failure was big news at the time.
