Ben Menard, President and General
Manager of the American Dredge
Building and Construction Company
arrived overland day before yesterday
after a busy summer in the Port
I Clarence and York districts and reports
an excellent and gratifying season.
In addition to looking after his
dredging interests in the York tin sec
tion. Mr. Bernard also inaugurated
a new mining endeavor by installing
a dredge on Swanson creek, near Tel
ler. The machine ivas formerly lo
cated on the Anacovik river but was
moved during the late spring to the
present scene of operations. Although
somewhat delayed in getting started
owing to transportation difficulties,
the dredge worked for a period of tlf'y
days after installation and with re
sults which Mr. Bernard describes? as
very gratifying. He also reports that
the tin dredge operated by the Amer
ican Tin Dredging Co. on Buck creek
in the York district, in which the
American Dredge Building and Con
struction Company holds a large in
terest ,alsQ.. had a most successful
season, the tin produet exceeding that

trates at over sixty tons. Owing to the
absence of adequate transportation
faclilities the product could not ho
shipped this fall and a large identity
! of concentrates is still at York await
ing shipment in the Spring. The
Swanson creek dredge was operated
until October 20 and, although there
was considerable snow and ’ice in the
district, could have continued but for
the necessity of closing in time to per
mit the crew to catch the last boats.
Mr. Bernard says that the transpor
tation difflcult'ies form a tremendous
drawback to the development of the
district in which ho operates and there

is also much complaint about the ship
ping facilities along the coast. Not
only are mining oporptions greatly
hampered hy the inability* to secure
supplies but travelers are subjected to
very severe hardships. The failure of
the boats to make late trips compelled
«
Mr. Bernard and party to come over
land a distance of over 100 miles hy
dog team and on foot, with the result
that they were almost left for the win
ter.
As it is, one man lias not arrived and
will be compelled to remain in. Be
lative to the dredge building activities
of his company, Mr. Bernard ^Sys the
Swanson creek dredge is I lie eleventh
installed by the American Dredge
Building and Construction Company In
Alaska, all being u success. Nine
of the machines have been installed
on Seward Peninsula. The company
has several contracts at present hut
owing to tli ■ great difficulties of ob
taining material, parts, etc., finds it
impossible to fill tin orders at present..
Kriends of Mr. Bernard will he pl'nised
to learn that he will return next
spring to further enlarge his opera
tions and also to hear of his excellent
success during the past season. Our
‘mg his connection with dredge build
ing and operation in Seward Penin
sula, his ability and integrity have
been well proven in the faithful ob
servance of his obligations, both per
sonal and professional, ami his suc
cess 'is well merited.
