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
