George S. Fouts, of Portland, who
has gained considerable of a local
reputation as a mechanical Inventor,
has Just patented a gold dredger
which he Intends putting at work ait
Cape Nome ss soon as a company
can be organised. The dredger Is, in
principle, not unlike those of the reg.
ulation scuttle variety, but the meth
od of operation which l especially
adapted to operations In the Cape
Nome district, Is quite an Intricate
affair. The dredger Is situated on a
scow thirty-six feet long and twenty
four feet wide, elevated on twelve
huge roller-wheels at a height of
twelv feet from the ground. The
rcow is run Into the stream by means
of a oible which Is securely anchored
both in mldirtresm and on shore, lo
comotion being secured by means of
special machinery on board tho scow.
Thus the apparatus may be moved
into the water or withdrawn to the
beuch at will. A number of buckets,
having an Individual capacity of one
cubic f xt, dump the sand and gravel
Into a ' grlxzly" at the rate of fifteen
fett a minute. The "grixil-." in ru
rotation, carries oft the dirt, allowing
the gold to work through its Siive
like surface upon laterals whence it it
carried through the proces of amal
gamation. Mr. Foute is very enthus
iastic over the prospects for his new
Invention, which he claims has a
capacity of working ovor S00 cubic
yar.ls a day. The beat estimates
place the value of the beach sand at
Cape Nome at 13 a cubic yard.
