Atop the Gold Dredge

Swede1969 posted a photo:

The Tuolumne Gold Dredge started operation at Patricksville, just east of the ruins current location, on June 15, 1938. A Walter Johnson No. 52 Model, it floated on a self-created pond of water. It was larger than a football field, weighed over 2500 tons, and cost $543,148 to construct. The dredge used electricity to drive 120 4000 lb. buckets 70 ft. deep to recover gold. It ceased operation in July 1951.

This was taken at Central Deborah mines in Bendigo. We were 90m below the surface here. This is still an active Gold Mine in Victoria Australia.

You actually see some snow spiking down. The wind chill was about 10 degrees here. Too cold to stay and too cold to hold the camera still.

Shot in the Tom Miller House

Tom Miller worked for the Mono Lake Railway & Lumber Company (formerly known as the Bodie & Benton Railroad) at Mono Mills. Much of the Jeffrey pine lumber used in the construction of Bodie came from Mono Mills.
