Dredge mining is essentially mechan-
ical return to glacier and stream mining,
to natures first principles in gold mining.
Instead of the glacier grinding out and the
glacial stream sluicing down the gold a
continuous chain of steel buckets does the
work. Upon a giant dipping steel crane,
which can be raised or lowered, this pro-
cessiOn of large steel buckets, turned by
an endless steel chain, eats into beach or
river bed and cagVes out the gold bearing
sand or gravel. Mounted on a movable
platform or boat, this powerful digging
tool gouges down to bedrock, where most
of the gold collects.
AS the chain turns the buckets bring up
and dump their contents into large, long
sluice or trough In the sluice the large
powders are screened off as valueless. The
fine gravel is washed on down the sluice,
in the bottom of which the large nuggets
settle intoIwOoden pockets. The fine gold
dust is caught in large auger holes bored
In the bottom of the sluice and filled with
LIQUID quicksilver This dust is directed
into these quicksilver pockets by little
troughs or rifles, placed in the sluice's
bottom. All the stun in the sluice is
washed onward and kept agitated and
moving by water from the buckets and a
powerful centripetal pump.

gold has taken many years to develop to
