When interviewed. Mr. Milligan
was able to give a very detailed
jaud comprehensive report of the
extent of work already completed
and the plans now laid down for
'the coming .season.
I Three months were taken to com
plete the moving of machinery
front. Osborne to Sunset, a dis
tance of 17 mibs across country,
bv the use of tractor*. No ser
ious difficulties presented them- j
solve to hinder the work. Fifteen
men were employed during the ■
••iiue. and there is no doubt that 4
the lack of heavy snows was a 1
great boon and help to the out lit. j
and the good weather conditions j
facilitated the handling of alj the
equipment. The last load was lnitd
• d at Sunset April 19th. „ ,; r.—
An office building was moved
from Osborne, in addition to all j
of the other equipment. 14 4.000 j
feet of lumber for use in the con- :
struci.ion of a new hull for the |
dredge was ntoved from Nome to |
Sunset last fall.
A large pit was dug lust fall :
by caterpillars and scrapers to j
launch the now hull into. Camp j
'buildings anil a power house were j
erected at Sunset in March. The 1
cement foundations were laid and j
the work of installing the engines |
Is now going on.
Construction work on the new j
hull was started April 15th, and j
the hull is expected to be floated !
the 15th of May. after which |
the superstructure and machinery I
will be added. A new digging
ladder and an ertensinh to the
tailing stacker will be added, al
lowing the dredge to dig to a depth
of 55 feet below the water level.
Mr. MiilHgan stated he expected
the dredge 'to begin operations
about July 15th.
He also reported that about
eighty tons of material will ar
rive at Nome on the first boats,
for use in .operations this sum
mer. About twenty-eight me,, are
working at present but it is un
derstood that1 the crew will be
Increased "as work progresses.
Another fetiture of considerable
interest will be fhe drilling to be
carried on. on ground acquired,,
by the company,, recently It is
expected that drilling will gro
beblv start' aTioufTime 1st.
The dredge, in addition to sev
enth other features, will be equip
p'd with five- cubic foot buckets.
