Gold Run Flume frozen with icicles caused by an ice dam, during the "Big Snow" winter of 1898-1899. The wooden flume carried water over French Gulch for placer mining operations, connecting to the Gold Run Ditch at both ends. It was located in French Gulch between the towns of Breckenridge and Lincoln City. A woman holds a large icicle while perched on a ladder leaned against the flume. Another woman and a young boy stand nearby, also holding icicles.
