DREDGING ERA
That a new era is opening for the
Tanana Valley is proven by the fai t
that men who are now in Skagwav,
a> engaged in the work of taking
'wo dredges into that district for
operation on Fairbanks creek.
One of the dredges is new and is
coming from San Francisco while the
other is one which has been operat
rc on Stewart River and which will
bo towed down the Yukon and up
' t.^e Tanana River. These dredges
are the property of Clarke and Lem
*uon of Seattle who represent British
capital. B. J, Clarke, one of the
Tim, accompanied by F. M. Robson.
arrived in Skagway a few days ago
and George Lemmon, who is general
aranager, will follow later.
The fact that the Stewart dredge
operates on a Canadian scow has
?'..used a little hitch with the 1' S. |
Customs authorities who regard this'
cow as an American bottom" and!
rttjrlre that the dredge be dismant
l?d and placed on another scow. To
obviate the necessity for this Mr.
Cirrke has gone to Juneau to inter
* iew the Collector of Customs.
1 he dredges are the first to lv 1
?em into the Tanana Valley and ar
regarded as a new means for brim
iiig about an increase and a pro
longation of the output of the fantou
