DATE OF DIGITAL 2006-2
DESCRIPTION THE PLANT - The photographs of Quarry No. 5 (see pictures labeled C10072, C10073, C10074, C10075) show the quarry in its early stages when much of the quarrying activity seems to be external in nature.  In this picture, approximately 1 1/2 years later, the quarrying has gone internal with long tunnels for bringing out the limestone. In the distance (middle right) the chimneys of the Atlas Portland Cement Plant can be seen, smoke billowing.
