DREDGING IX WKOX
Gold dredging Is a modern iudus
try, says the Dawson News. The
first success In California with the
continuous bucket dredge, tho typ
which has made it possible to worlt
over old abandoned camps, was
scored by Hammond in 1S96, the
year Klcndiko was struck. The only
successful operations on similar Hue
prior to that time wero made in the
Antipodes but a few years previous.
When the cream was worked out
of the Klondike placers by the in
dividual process, the dredges wero
scarcely worth the name compared
to the great machine now operating
here. The small dredges operati
in the Nome camp and many ot 1:• ■
placers are insignificant when view
ed in relation to those working
here. The Yukon has contributed
mightily to the dredging iudustn i;
the world, and the men who have
evolved tho big boats working here
are the foremost dredge operators
of the world. It is a good de:il for
Klondike to be able to say she has
the earth's dredge kings, but tin
camp cai. defend the title with lltt!•
fear of contradiction. Californi i ha
many large dredges operating. Colo
rado a:,d Montana make similar
boasts, and parts of Siberia, Sout i:
America, New Zealand and Austra.: .
have some of the big boats.. Hut
the operators in those fields have
not burked up against the ogsr •
vated conditions fearlessly faced
and successfully combatted here.
The Yukon Gold company came
with engineers experienced in l it
fornia, and got down to scientifi
principles. Merit and efficiency v.-ur;
the watchwords. General Manager
O. B. Perry and Resident Man:
Thomas were level headed engine-rs
who selected a staff of capable as
sistant engineers determined on re
sults. The dredging branch of tl
company's work here was detailed t
Edward Eugene McCarthy, hi d th %
success with which he has tackled
the Arctic frosts and heavy bedrock
formations of this region in coi
tion entitle, him to be classed as
one of the foremost authorities the
world !'as known on dredge opera
tions. For more than seven v< rs
he has been tireless in his work
here, specializing in operations in
the frozen creeks with heavy rock
bottoms. The dredges now eat
through three to fifteen feet of bed
rock as though it were cheese. Nine
feet of solid bedrock is commonly
eaten out, and the buckets handle
I h© material six feel deeper when
iho roc k is not too solid or obdurate
The layman marvels at the feat,
but v. I is® U is kuowu the tremen
dous i>i w«r the dredges have, the
great weight of tho steel buckets,
and tin incessant pounding to
which thi» rock is subject, it can
be realised in a degree that it is in
evitable tho rock crumble. Uiaut
buck u after bucket pounding on
tho rock, pulverizes the material,
and the huge maws come up filled.
A vast percentage of th<> gold de
posits of tho streams was in the
bedrock so deep the old-timers
could not touch it. That gold and
such as tho miners could not save
in their crude primitive washings,
and such as they could not handle
profitably in loiv grade grounds is
now taken up by the sweeping buck
et lines of the big dredgfs. The
fired-ve lips will cut down rock for
mouths where they are dulled by
the frozen muck in a few hours.
I'ut the thawing process is now a
science, and the gold machines go
through tho sweated and scientifi
cally pr. • tn'd gravels and muck as
though cutting cake.
Ia the frozen gravels along the
lar ■ • streams, the Klondike
