The dredge located Hear Sunset'
Creek, of the Alaska Sunset
Mines, Inc., during the past sev
eral weeks has been steadily forg
insr ahead on schedule for this
seastfn.
At present the dredge is digging
in a , ross
and has descended to ‘a depth of
about 45 fpet. No serious diffi
cufiies have been experienced to
date in its operation and ac
cording to reports the dredge is
performing well up to expecta
tions.
With plenty of thawed ground
layed out before it, the dredge
will probably keep digging until
winter forces a complete shut
down. With Ihe completion of a
fine highway last year to Sunset
Creek, development In the 8unsef
region has gone ahead by leaps
and bounds. The dredge now op
erating was constructed during
the winter and spring, the mach
inery etc., having been hauled a
distance of about seventeen miles
from Osborn Creek to lie pres
ent location. /•
With a power house operating
and providing the electrical pow
er and added machinery and parts
received this spring on the first
boats, the completion of the
dredge was rushed and digging
started at an early date, consid
ering the work necessary in mov
ing and constructing of such a
dredge.
It is to be hoped that this ven
ture wilt oevelop into the opening
