October 20, 1937: "Pelican Bay Lumber company is moving its logging operations from the Diamond lake road to the Sycan country. The new main camp will be established about five miles southeast of the Buck Williams ranch.
Operations on the new unit will begin in about 10 days. The company got in the last logs from the Diamond lake unit last Saturday.
The new unit is east of the area in which the Lamm Lumber company is now logging. Horace Bridgeford of the Pelican Bay company stated that the new operations will utilize trucks, with the logs transported to the mill at Pelican City over the Lamm railroad to Chinchalo and over the Southern Pacific to Pelican City.
Pelican Bay company has recently shipped several carloads of cabins over the Lamm line into its new operation. These cabins were brought from Bly. The present camp at the Diamond lake road is to remain intact, as Pelican Bay still has a considerable body of timber in that area and will resume cutting there later." (The Evening Herald)
