Monument lo Inyo Lumber Kilns

Independence, Calif.-Or.vens Valley and Inyo county this month rvill dedicate an historical monument to two lumber kilns on the shores of the now dry Owens lake near the point r,vhere Cottonwood creek comes out of the mountains. More than B0 years ago the trvo kilns were constructed to turn timber cut high on the west side of Owens Valley 15 miles from Lone Pine, into charcoal for use in smelters at the fabulous Cerro Gordo mines to the east.

The Eastern California Museum Assn. has erected a bronze plaque at the kilns to commemorate their part in the building of early California. Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. deeded title to the kilns to tl-re association last year.

The bronze plaque, which will be placed in a stone monument by the kilns, reads:

"In June, 1873, Colonel Sherman Stevens built the sawmill and flume on Cottonrvood Creek, high in the Sierras directly rvest of this spot. The flume connected with the Los Angeles bullion road. The lumber from the flume rvas used in timbering in the mine and buildings, and wood was turned into charcoal in these kilps, then hauled to Stevens' wharf east of here on Orvens Lake. There it was put on the steamers 'Bessie Brady' and 'N'Iolly Stevens,' hauled directly across the lake and from there wagons took it up the'Yellow Grade' to Cerro Gordo, high in the Inyo Mountains above Keeler.

"The bullion s'hich n'as then taken out by the reverse of this route'was hauled to Los Angeles on Remi Nadeau's 14, 16 and l8-animal freight wagons and played a major part in the building of that pueblo into the city of today."
