Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. View of three men securing a small stack of lumber at the base of a cable draw system running up to Cable Mountain in Zion National Park. Text from negative sleeve: 135. Utah Trip, July 1923. (See #132, 4 and 4). A wire cable ran from floor of Zion Park to top of cliff where they hauled up supplies and brot down lumber. Clarence Cline went up and came down. Paid $1.00. Government had condemned the cable line for passengers, but they took him up and he dropped a dollar in a box at the top to pay for the trip. Waited for me to come up, but I had gone to sleep under a tree and he came down before I was wakened up. Do not think I would have gone up any way. This cable line was just below the Weeping Spring. One negative of the men working on the load to send up. Other negative shows the two loads passing en route, one going up and one coming down. 2 negatives.
