Dredge in Manhattan: photographic print

Date

1905-04-21

Description

View of the dredge at Manhattan, Nevada, circa 1938. The dredge began at the lower end of the canyon at Jamestown and worked its way up to the vicinity of the power station, the big cement-cast substation building at Manhattan. Water for the dredge was obtained from a pipeline which crossed the Smoky Valley from Peavine Creek. The dredge had a 90-foot bucket line on it and was anchored with two winches to a deadman. The dredge—when dredging was finished at Round Mountain—was disassembled and moved to Battle Mountain, Nevada. The make is believed to be a Yuba dredge. The man in the white shirt is Louis Cirac, long-time Nye County resident and father to Smoky Valley resident Don Cirac. From the Nye County, Nevada Photograph Collection (PH-00221) -- Series VII.
