UNLOADING OF ODUNA
IS UNC THE END.
MANY CAR BUCKETS
{ The big ship, the S. S. Oduno, is
just about unloaded and it is thought
tomorrow will show the steamer
kicking up its heels down the bay
southbound to Seattle.
These two dredges for the Fair
banks Exploration company, will be
followed next April by another one;
then in the fall still another will be
shipped North. Two dredges a year
will be sent up to the Interior outfit
until a total of seven or eight are set
up and in operation.
Dredge A, the smaller of the two
just arriving, weighs 1,200 tons and
has a digging capacity of 40feet. Both
are all steel and No. A will be set up
on Fox Creek.
Dredge B weighs the same but has
a digging reach of 60 feet. No. B. will
be operated on Chatanika.
One of the later dredges to come
frorth will weigh in the neighborhood
of 1,500 tons and will have a larger
digging capacity.
There is a crew now waiting at
Fox to start initial erection and por
tions of the hull, the first parts nec
essary, have been forwarded and the
work of assembling is already under
way.
As each of the dredges arrives the
power plant for its operation will ar
rive at the same time. Each dredge
will have its own power unit installed
in the big new Fairbanks power house
from which central point the “juice”
will be distributed.
. Attracting considerable attention
the past few days has been the un
loading of the many large buckets.
Of these there are 12 carloads of about
18 on a car, and each bucket averages
in weight over a ton.
The dredges were built by the Beth
lehem Ship Building Corp., of San
Francisco. The electric equipment by
the General Electric company. C. H.
Rattray, electrical engineer, is reprel
senting this company and will super
vise the installation of the electric
power units.
