This water right does not appear in California's eWRIMS database. The holder likely has not filed a Statement of Diversion and Use with the State Water Resources Control Board. Pre-1914 rights are only in eWRIMS if holders voluntarily filed — many have not, making these rights less visible to the state.

Notes: Amount left BLANK (---- inches). Filed under Cal. Civil Code Secs 1410-1422. Claimant is female ('she has diverted'). Likely wife of D.H. Schadler who filed earlier (page 4). Diversion from western bank 275 feet from north side of North Street, Town of Fort Bidwell. Flume and ditch completed, water turned in April 25, 1908. Very small scale — 5-inch wide flume suggests garden/household irrigation. Witness A.F. Lewis.
