The handwritten inscription reads, "Each drill is connected with a water line to wash the drill dust out, and to aid the men in breathing.

Glad I was a form raiser." The second one (0272_0033) reads, "Upper portals, working bridge for trucks. Taking muck from tunnels, using it to make temporary dam across river to direct water through tunnels." The third one (0272_0034) reads "First big blast in canyon as seen from road above canyon."
