Photograph of men in foreground clearing ground for Canadian Dredge No. 4 behind. Canadian No. 4 was built in 1912-13 near the mouth of the Klondike River. It was designed and manufactured by the Marion Steam Shovel Company with 16-cubic-foot buckets, the largest in the Klondike. It operated in the Klondike River Valley from 1913 to 1940 (except May 1924 to November 1927, when it was left sunk in the dredge pond). This dredge became Yukon Consolidated Gold Company Number 4 in 1935.
