DRKIMiK OX Sl'XSET <’RKEK
TO START SKASOX
NEXT MONDAY -
The new dredge constructed this
spring and summer by the Alaska
Sunset Mines, Inc., on Sunset
Oreeek, is about ready to start dig
ging on its first season. The
dredge is very nearly completed
except for several small bits of
work to be done in tuning it up.
Yesterday work was progressing
rapidly connecting the buckets to
gether and about sixty or seventy
of them had been hauled out onto
the bucket ladder. The actual
work of connecting the bucket
atring it is expected will take a
little while, and then the dredge
will be ready to start.
Ixroklng over the newly con
structed dredge, several ,i points
stood out as being ‘features of this
new project on Sunset Creek. The
'bucket ladder alone weighs in
the neighborhood of 4 2 tons. It
was sent into Nome in sections,
riveted together here, and then
hoisted into place. Ecelctic pow
er furnished from their own pow
er house at Sunset furnishes the
juice for all phases of cons',ruction
and dredging.
2200 volts are used oh the
dredge for digging. Transform
ers knock this down to around
440 volts for the small motors
which take carefof other work in
connection with the dredging.
Together with the bucket lad
der, buckets and rollers the weight
is estimated to be about 100 ton.*,
and of this weight about 70 toils
rest from the front gantry.
The entire bucket line on this
dredge numbers about 110 buck
ets. The dredge is equipped to
dig to a depth of 50 feet. In the
locality where the dredge is now
resting the bedrock is about 44
feet and of schist, formation, some

of which can be dug up.
The machinery has been turned j
over and has been found to work
perfectly. All that remains to
day is to complete the connecting
of the bucket line before the
dredge will operate.
Being in a small pond, it is
expected that the dredge will pro
ceed slowly forward digging a !
width of around 80 feet to start I
with and gradually widening out
to about 150 feet.
At present the dredge is point
ing west and **the plans as stated
are to dig In a westerly direction
through the ground obtained
from Thomas Gaffney, which is
Immediately in front of them. The
following move will be to return
on the fractions owned jointly oy
A. H. Kell and the Alaska Sunset
Mines, Inc. This would keep the
claim lines clear and provide
better than two years of dig
ging. The ground in this sector
is entirely thawed and rapid prog
ress is expected- to be made.
The dredge, the machinery for
which was hauled seventeen miles
from Osborne Creek this wfhter
by caterpillars, has a new hull,
new rigg'ng and new superstrue^
ture. It was planned early this
spring to be operating by the 15th
of July, but the strike on the
jcoast slowed ships down and con
sequently put the dredge work be
hind. Even so, that Is a very good
record to be able to construct a
dredge in the spring and be op
erating by the 23d of July. Iritis
would be only one week behind
schedule. .
Steady digging and dredging, it |
is expected, will commence Mon- j
day and continue from then on. J
With the price of gold still i
high, great results are expected
on the ground in this section, and
undoubtedly a full seasou will be
put in.
