Title	Cutting out marble at Yule, Colo.
Creator(s)	Beam, George L. (George Lytle), 1868-1935.
Summary	Men move huge chunks of marble, at the Colorado Yule Marble Company quarry, on a sheer face of Ragged Mountain, Gunnison County, Colorado. The blacksmith shop, boilers and compressors used to power the machinery are perched on an excavated shelf. The workmen ride up and down the mountain in a wooden cage shown on the heavy duty cable-way. The pivoting 50-ton crane lowers the quarried marble blocks to a electic trolley line 110 feet below.
