THE GOLDFIELDS DREDGE
On receipt of advice from the Goldfields Dredging Company’s dredgemaster on August 14 that the dredge had reached the company’s claim at Big Beach, the directors visited the claim and found that four hours after the arrival of the dredge there was another flood which carried away portion of the power line. Cable was at once forwarded from Dunedin and steps were taken to re-erect the power line on its permanent route. The dredge, which was in a very safe position, then resumed work. The directors have decided that the Big Beach will be worked systematically on a face, which will entail working poor ground for the first two or three weeks, and will obviate the dredge going twice over the same ground. Now that the dredge is on the Big Beach it has also been decided to wash-up weekly.
