Algoma
May 12, 1910: "D. B. Campbell will start a new town near Rattlesnake point. He has purchased from Hagelstein a part of the J. C. Beach ranch and intends to move the Odessa sawmill onto his purchase and lay out a town site." (Klamath Falls Express)
May 12, 1910: "D. B. Campbell has purchased from John Hagelstien the sawmill that has been in use at Odessa and will move it to Rattlesnake Point, where it will be erected and its capacity increased. Mr. Campbell proposes to modernize it in several respects, so as to reduce the cost of production. Mr. Hagelstien has been securing options on timber in the vicinity of Rattlesnake Point, and it is this timber that will furnish the supply of logs for Mr. Campbell's mill. He has also made arrangements to secure timber from other points on the lake, and when the mill is ready for operation an ample supply of logs will be on hand to keep it going The mill will be located on what is known as Harris Lake, the site being also in close proximity to the railroad." (Klamath Republican)
May 18, 1911: "D. B. Campbell returned Tuesday from his sawmill at Rattlesnake Point or, as it is printed on the new maps, Rattlerock Point. Campbell's new mill is now running with a full force and is cutting between 20,000 and 25,000 feet of lumber daily. Thirty men are employed at the mill.
Rattlesnake Point is becoming quite a settlement. Mr. Campbell has between forty and fifty acres along the lake, which is used for the mill site, side tracks and for the piling of lumber. The grading for 1,138 feet of railroad spurs has been completed and is now ready for the steel. Mr. Campbell is having seven houses erected at the mill, and a general store will be run under the management of C. B. Berry, the superintendent of the plant.
The contract was let Tuesday to Payne Bros for cutting 2,000,000 feet of logs for the mill. Timber has also been purchased from the Indian reservation, and the logging will be done by Joe Ball and Kirk." (Klamath Republican)

June 22, 1911: "Messrs. Ball and Kirk sent down the first raft of logs from the Williamson River bridge on Wednesday. They go to the D. B. Campbell mill at Rattlesnake Point. Incidentally this opens up a new field as this is the very first logging ever done on that stream." & "The Mazama towed that Ball & Kirk raft on Williamson River. She's sure a pioneer, having brought the first raft of logs from the head of Crystal Creek two years ago, and now Crystal Creek is a good logging stream." (Klamath Republican)
September 28, 1911: "C. J. Tatlock was brought down Friday from D. B. Campbell's mill at Rattlesnake Point, where he had his left hand badly mangled up in one of the saws. He was taken to the Samaritan Hospital, where he was attended by Drs. R. R. Hamilton and R. R. Chilton. The thumb and first three fingers of the hand had to be removed." (Klamath Republican)
