DREDGE IS
WORKING
Yankee Creek Machine
Began Operations
Friday Last.
The Flume Dredging: ’ Company's
dredge on Yankee creek is now in full
operation, the engine having been
turned over for the first time on Au
gust 25th. last Friday. Its operation,
fora newly-assembled machine, is said
to be almost perfect.
The placing of this dredge on^Yankee
creek and its present operation is cer
tainly some achievement when it is
taken into consideration that all of this
work has been accomplished since
about June 1. Before the dredge parts
could be moved a road—a good one, by
the way, eight aud one-half miles long
—had to be built, to connect with the
Government road leading to Tacotna.
Work onjthis road to Yankee started
about June 1 and was completed about
July 15, the tractor traversing the en
tire course from Tacotna to Yankee
about the latter date. And, speaking
of the tractor, it may be said that that
machine must be given credit for the
remarkable work it has done. (Under
the guidance and manipulation of Al
Goslow, assisted by Mr.^Cald well, this
apparently lumbering, reeling creature
has been on the 'Job all the time, as
regular almost as clockwork in making
its daily round trip, a distance of
twenty nine miles, and turning up al
most to the minute each night with its
load of from three to four tons. Up to
the present time it has hauled no less
than one hundred tons.
Considering all that had to be done,
most of it under adverse conditions,
Mr. Saupe, manager of the Plume
Dredging Company, is to be congratu
lated upon the wonderful work he has
accomplished within a space of three
short months.
