This photograph has three images. The first one (0272_0084) reads, "Top of dam about one form wide - everyone getting in each other's way" (duplicate of Image 0272_0016). The second image (0272_0085) reads, "Getting higher and more enormous. Can you see what's swinging on end of No.7 line?" Refers to the arrow at the top right of photo. "(3) tunnels drilled for penstocks that divert water to turbines. So much to tell about, that's shown in this pic. You can see where the turbines will set. The (slot) in middle of dam indicates how much of the dam has been cooled. Notice how dam curves into canyon walls - to brace against weight that will build up behind it." The third image (0272_0086) shows an early view of the enormous amount of excavating being done and tailings to be moved. An inscription reads "Pouring cement on any part of the dam has not begun, only the diversion tunnels and tracks for head tower and tail tower that hi-lines across the channel are connected to" (referring to the arrow at top of photo). The inscription continues "(x) Reeve fell down this tunnel but was cemented at that time. On the dam I never heard anyone being hurt with falling rock. But - most injuries and fatalities occurred building roads to the dam and at the location of dam. No men have been covered up and left in the cement. Nothing but the purest cement went into the construction of dam, maybe a piece of metal if it wasn't oily. About men being buried in the dam is a misconception (sic). Some have been covered up with cement when the bucked dumped out of control, but the men were rushed to first aid and washed off, and treated, but very few injuries."
