This huge contraption known as a gold dredge was the first of its kind at Sumpter, Oregon in 1913. It churned up the countryside spewing out gold which attributed to the area's multi-millions in gold production and helped sustain the 4,000 plus population of Sumpter during that era. It still stands at the edge of town H.S. Crocker Co., Inc |
