There are SC buck cts to be connected and each bucket weighs one ion and fifteen pounds. However pra 'ically no difficulty is apprehenGed in the connection. for the company has solved all problems in the way of handling heavy weights and the work of the ma chinery assembly, considering the magnitude If some of the parts has ben done in time that is eXtraordi- nary. IL $ now evident that both the Bourbon dredge and the Flat creek dred4n will have quite a sea sons diggirg. even this year, re- cord in the way of construction work that would be hard to beat.
