Deepest Digging Dredge
In Alaska Just Com
pleted At Nome
Construction of the modern
! placer go'd dredge for the U S S
R & M Co. at Nome has been
completed by the Yuba Manufac
turing Co. of San Francisco,
J which designed and fabricated
i the huge boat.
The dredge is equipped with a
1 modern heating system specially
1 housed for this country. It has
other special features, including
strengthening and reinforcing
for ice conditions.
The hull is 210 feet long and
72 feet wide. The distance from
the front of the foot bridige to!
the end of the stacker Ls 530 .
feet. The stacker itself is 250
feet long. It is the deepest dig
ging dredge in Alaska and will
1 dig 93 feet below the water, with
a 35 to 40 foot bank. It has 134
buckets each of which weighs
i one and a half tons and holds 9
j cubic feet.
i The new dredge has the finest
types of electric equipment. El
even thousand volts of electric
: power boards the dredge, where
it is then stepped down to 440
volts.
The two sand whee's which
’ are of a new design are 18 feet
in diameter. The floating weight
of the dredge is 3,450 tons.
It is understood that the auto
matic electrically run dredge
will require a crew of only four
or five men on each of three
| shifts.
The Yuba Manufacturing Co.
constructed the mammoth dredge
in a record time of about 3 and
one-hslf months, as compared to
6 to 8 months for similar work
dene in the Slates. The maxi- *
j mum crew used was about 120. j
It is anticipated that theiy
dredge will start digging in a
! couple of days and will probab
I ly continue for a month before
; the freeze-up.
The USSR & M Co. oil dock
has been rebuilt since the recent
storm and new pumps have been
set up and are ready for use.
