TRANSCRIPT

Many were the adventures I met with during my short term in these mountains. The life was not only interesting, but exciting as well. For instance it was interesting to see fifty men or so hanging over the face of cliffs at Summit Lake, drilling holes in the face and later, twice a day to watch the blasts and hear the noise in the combined pass, resembling thunder, and hundreds of tons of rock sent hurtling through the air. It was also interesting to note day by day the thousands of feet of earth removed and notice the swarms of men slaving away like ants for the good of the gigantic enterprise.
