Title	Colorado Yule Marble quarry
Summary	View of a Colorado Yule Marble Company quarry east side of Yule Creek, 4 miles south of Marble (Gunnison County), Colorado. Channeling machines on tracks to drill vertical holes into the marble and a large metal frame used for hoisting the stone are on a quarry ledge. Shows wooden ladders, ropes, cables, hooks, steel bars, and broken marble.
Date	[between 1914 and 1917?]
Notes	Title supplied. Additional information provided by user: "In April 1917, the CYMC was bankrupt and quarrying ceased until 1922 but CYMC no longer existed. This photo is in the museum in Marble and is part of a series but they are not dated. It is possible the period is after operations stated up in 1922." [Chuck Moore] ; R7110066635
