Dredge On Casa
Is Operating—Re
cord Buillding Set
Another newly constructed dredge
began operations last Sunday in the
Casadepaga River section.The Casa
'depaga Gold Company, A.C. Stewart
and Associates are the owners and
Donald Stewart is manager.
The dredge, all steel superstruc
ture is equipped with foot and half
close connected buckets, the dredge ;
is of the flume type. A full eighty
horsepower deisel engine operates
the machine and was constructed by
the Washington Iron Works. The
turn over is 28 buckets per minute.
The Casadepaga Gold Company
has acquired 11 miles of gold bear
ing dredging ground, formerly the \
property of Billy Allison on the
Casadepaga River.
Owing to the lateness of the sea- j
son this spring two extra ‘eats’ were
used to transport the dredge and |
camp material including all new'
buildings, the transportation was I
via auto road from Solomon to the
divide, thence by tractors over the
divide. Hull construction began on
July 4th and the dredge was plac 'd
in operation July 28th, which is be- 1
lieved to be the record in dredge j
construction in this section of Al
aska, where no less than 50 dredges
were built during the past several
years. Only one extra man was
used outside of the regular dredge
crew, in construction work.
An outstanding feature on this
pontoon type dredge is its shallow,
draft, and Mr. A.C. Stewart believes
that there are many shallow, low
grade creeks, that were mined by
pick and shovel methods, can now
be dredged at a profit with this steel
pontoon type. Another new feature
is the using of rubber riffles made
by the Durable Mat Company of
Seattle, and are said to outlast iron
riffles.
