Friday's “Dominion” states 1 Considerable progress lias been made with the . contraction the big gold dredge which is being built in Wellington r the Rimu Dredging Company. When referred to nearly two months ago the vast hull of this great wealth-finding; machine was a mere skeleton of perforated ribs, and a sheet steel bottom. Today the hull is practically complete, with stout steel sides and strengthened., in all directions to withstand the strain of its heavy machinery, and the great bucket chain it operates. It is really, a. big punt, a floating (and therefore move, able) foundation for the superstructure and bucket ladder, which raises the gold-benring gravel from the swamp at Rimu Flat. Some measurable idea can now be formed of the dimensions of the new dredge, which is said to be one of the largest of its kind in the world. The unt is 108 ft. in length, 56ft. in breadth,; punt is 108 ft in length, 56ft in breadths • stril'ctioti is completed in December it will be taken to pieces—it is at present, only bolted together in sections—and, shipped away to Hokitika to be; reconstructed by the side of the pond, which - will be made 'for its reception by tlie i dredge now operating on Rimu Fat.
