THINKS WELL OF
DREDGING HERE
PRES. OF AMERICAN DREDGE
CO. EXPECTS MANY DREDGES
IN THIS DISTRICT.
Alter an extended trip into the
Cache Creek and McKinley mountain
district examining dredging proper
ties in the interest of his company,
Ben Bernard, president and general
manager of the American Dredg
Building Construction Company, of
Seattle, is now in Seward awaiting
the arrival of the S. S. Northwestern
on which boat he is booked to leave
for Nome where several sutTsidiarv
dredge mining companies controlled by '
his building company are engaged in
dredging for both gold and tin. In1
an interview Mr. Bernard stated that
his impression of the districts visited
by him was very gratifying from a
dredging standpoint particularly the
McKinley district, as the gravels con- .
turned in many of the gold bearing
streams of the district were entirely
free from boulders and hard pan, and
particularly favorable for handling by
means of the smaller sized dredges
which present transportation facilities;
make it advisable to install.
“We now,” he said, “have a crew of
men driling several of the properties
examined by me and if the results of
such drilling show sutlicient values to
justify installation of a dredge we will
instal one or more in the near future.
The rapid advancement of the rail
road to its present terminus from
Seward will greatly facilitate ship
ments of material for dredge con
struction enabling shipments to Ke
made from Seattle to Seward during
the winter months, and after trans
porting by rail to the end of the rail
road the material can then be taken
over the winter trails at far less cost
than is possible during the summer
season.
Mr. Bernard visited the large
dredge of the Cache Creek Dredging
Company., and the first dredge to be
installed on Cache creek, in the ds
trict of that name, anti reports that
at the time he was aboard the dredge
it was doing fine work and from all in
dications promises to be another of the
large producers of Alaska by means
of dredging. Too much credit can not
be given Mr. C. L. Smith, builder ot
the dredge. Mr. Bernard says, anti
the man who so successfully accomp
lished the task of transporting ami in
stalling the outfit, or to his valuable
assistant. C. R. Harris, under whose
able management the dredge is now*
operating. Jim Murray also well
known in Seward is lending valuable
aid to the dredging company while
he is in full charge of all the affairs
of the Cache Creek Hydraulic Com
pany from whom the dredging com
pany has least'll the ground.
