LAUNCHES DREDGEN0.59
RECORD TIME MADE
E. A. Weeks. Superintendent of
(>,• Construction for the Vuba Man
ufacturing Company, successfully
accomplished the launching of the'
Vuba dredge No. 56, Tuesday morn I
ing Aug. f>th, before a number o'i
interested spectators.
The Yuba Mfg. Co. is construct-1
i.ig the dredge for the Hatnmon ;
Consolidated Gold Fields, making
the third large dredge to be built
for this company which is operating
on a large scale just a short distance
from the city of Nome.
Supintendent Weeks and his able j
staff ».f workmen are to be congrat-1
dated upon the rapid work of con-;
s’ruction which has been accomplish
ed. the first work on this dredge \
began June 24th. and just 3ft days j
after the work commenced the laun- j
< king took place, this it is consider- j
.••i is a record in construction never .
| before equalled in Alaska, and as
fur as dredge men are advised, it is |
believed that the record established ,
by Mr. Weeks, has never been
equalled in the States. This being
the case it will go a long way in ,
establishing tin- costs of construct
ing dredges of this type in and ar
ound Nome, and will be found to
be advantageous for this section of
the country and to mining men as
well as to tlie contractors.
This makes the nfith dredge that
the Vuba Mfg. Co. has constructed,
and when finally turned over to the
Mammon Company, will probably
be known as Dredge No. 3. The new
dredge will be a duplicate of dredge
No. 1 built by the Yuba for the
Hammon Company on Little Creek
two years ago; It will be 140 feet
I. .ng. 56 ft. beam, its hull will he
II. 6 ft. deep; the digging capacity is
60 feet below water. It is equipped
with nine cubic foot buckets, each
bucket weighing over 2100 pounds,
and over a hundred buckets linked
together will rotate continuously
over the digging ladder and the
tumblers at either end. The digg
ing ladder alone weighs 75 tons, the
stacker, which is used to remove the
tailings from the dredge will weigh
about .°.0 tons, and the upper turn-1
h'er. over which the enormous num- !
her of buckets tjiust travel, weighs j
Supt. Weeks and his crew of 94
men are now engaged in putting ;
machinery in place, and will rush
the dredge through to completion
i:i record time. The freighter Ne- j
besom. which arrived in Nome ;
Thursday morning brought addi-.
tienal construction material. Most
of the heavy pieces-of iron work
aie on this vessel and will be
freighted to the dredge site with
d'spatch. and among the heavy
pieces on this shipment are the
digging ladder, stacker, tumblers j
ar.d the bucket line.
The completion of the dredge by
the contractors calls for October
15th.. but provided the weather
conditions are favorable 11 is ex
pected that the dredge will be
completed and working probably
two weeks ahead of that date, n
