**Historical Significance:**Founded by legendary Comstock giants like Duane L. Bliss, the Carson and Tahoe Lumber and Fluming Co. was responsible for clear-cutting and moving massive amounts of Sierra timber via narrow-gauge railroads, steamships (like the *Tahoe*), and sprawling V-flumes to supply the silver mines of Virginia City. Original documents from this enterprise before 1900 are increasingly scarce and highly sought after by regional historians.
