ELECTRIC SHOVEL TO
REVOLUTIONIZE DEEP
GRAVEL MINING
A new type of electric sho\> !
el will make possible the
working of frozen gravels and |
revolutionize the mining in
dustry in Alaska, according to
A. N. C. Treadgold, promi
nent in the Yukon section for
years. Treadgold says the new i
i electric shovel will handle 4,
000 yards of earth a day and
can be placed in operation for
a quarter of the cost of a
dredge. He plans to dredge on
a big scale on Coal Creek, 250
miles from Dawson.
Production of coal at the \
mine of the Healy River Coal;
Corporation at Suntrana has 1
reached the capacity of the,
present haulage system, and
there being a demand for still
more coal, the company has in
augurated a system of electric
haulage, through which the
mine will be in a position to
deliver coal to its tipple in any i
quantity desired. A Westing
house five and one-half ton
electric locomotive has been
installed. This is a regulation
j mine locomotive, capable of i
hauling heavy loads. The de
mand for Healy coal is said to
approximate about 200 tons
daily.
