Gold Dredge No. 8 is one of the most significant relics of mining history in Alaska. Today she sits in the Goldstream Valley just north of Fairbanks, where the giant floating mechanical monster once chewed up the ground in her path, removed the gold, and spit out rock tailings behind her as she floated across a pond that she took with her as she glided across the landscape.

This article, originally published on November 16, 1893, by the editors of the American Engineering and Railroad Journal, describes the layout of a new plant for the Bucyrus Steam Shovel & Dredge Company at South Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In the article they discuss how Bucyrus has built the new plant to replace the old plant at Bucyrus, Ohio, as the old plant had been added onto as business grew and, because of these incremental changes, it did not efficiently serve the needs of the now larger and still growing company. Apparently the new plant was designed for both current efficiencies as well as having an eye towards future growth.

Written in what might be called the third wave of the industrial revolution, here is an example of an American manufacturer looking at their physical plant for increased efficiencies. They make a point of showing how they have used electricity for everything, “powered by two multi-polar generators of 150 horsepower each (one of which is in reserve), driven by a Corliss engine.”

Included are two line illustrations of the new plant, one of the overall grounds and a cross section of the main building; and two black and white pictures. The first picture is of one of their steam shovels at work in railroad construction, and the second one is one of their dipper dredges in use by the Montreal Harbor Commission.

This book gets you into the streamed materials; virgin materials, storm layers, hardpans, etc.; and thoroughly discusses the professional approach to dredge sampling. Discusses sampling for specific deposits and what is an acceptable daily pay for your hard work. An in-depth look at the art of gold mining through the eyes of an experienced modern gold dredger. This insight will help anyone, whether you are drywashing in the desert, highbanking on the shoreline, or dredging underwater. Produced by the same author as "Gold Miner's Handbook" published by Keene Engineering. Author has worked for Keene since 1988. Full color graphics & photo's! (Win / Mac)
