TITLE	Section of No. 7 Quarry After Blast (Panel 1)
DATE OF ORIGINAL	1907-5-24
DATE OF DIGITAL	2006-2
DESCRIPTION	THE PLANT - This is a portion of No. 7 quarry after the large blast. In the first  picture (#C10079), the tree line behind the cliffs is confined to the left side only.  In this picture, the expanse of the trees extends across the width of the picture.  That gives a very good idea as to the power exerted by 2700 pounds of dynamite.  Imagine how dangerous it must have been for the dynamiters when setting such a charge.  The two laborers in the foreground are unidentified, but it is safe to assume they were probably southern and central European immigrants living in the company town of Ilasco.
