F. E. Company Dredge No. 4, Historic mining dredge in Chicken, Alaska.
The F.E. Company Dredge No. 4 stands as a 500-ton industrial machine equipped with bucket lines and processing equipment for extracting gold from creek beds.
Built in 1938 by Yuba Manufacturing Company in California, this dredge operated at Pedro Creek until 1958 before relocating to Chicken Creek for operations until 1967.
The dredge exemplifies the technological methods used during Alaska's gold mining period, reflecting the industrial development of the northern frontier.
Located along Airport Road near mile 66.4 of Taylor Highway, visitors can examine the preserved machinery and learn about gold extraction processes.
The dredge maintains its original mechanical components, including the bucket line system that could process large volumes of gravel for gold extraction.
