Text Appearing Before Image:
stancemelt into blue, but always the flumes, thetops of which form the only pathways throughthe gorges, reach out into hidden recesseswhere the tinkle of falling water sounds thepresence of a living spring. As one nears thecommencement of the flumes, built of red-wood fifty years ago and holding in preser-vation many of the original timbers, nowclinging to steep hillsides, now stilting it ontall trestles across leafy ravines, level withthe tree tops; the sound of running water isheard everywhere. There it falls gleefully ina series of cascades over a slope of slipperygranite forty feet high, the spray dashinginto rainbows; here it gurgles with little bub-bling, choking laughs from pool to pool,slapping at the boulders in miniature rapids,silent in still and shady spots, filteringthrough rocks till the percolation forms alacy veil of silver over the face of the quartz,dripping in unseen places; a harmony to therustle of the foliage, (Continued on page 10) SAN FRANCISCO WATER July, 1926
