This gizmo would scoop up huge buckets of gold-bearing gravel and sift out the gold, and then dump the rest back behind it via a huge conveyor. Dredge No. 4 built in 1912 for the Canadian Klondike Mining Company, was the largest wooden hulled bucket lined dredge in North America. It worked in the Klondike Valley on the "Boyle Concession" until 1940 and then was relocated to Bonanza Creek and worked this valley until 1959. At the peak of corporate mining, a dozen dredges, churned through the creeks. Dredging continued in the Klondike until 1966, when the last of the Yukon Consolidated Gold Company's dredges shut down. Dredge No. 4 represents the many decades of corporate mining in the Canadian mid-north through the 20th century.

It's a really neat, old, wooden building/boat with many of the original pieces of equipment intact. The tour is very interesting and they generally let you wander around while the guide talks.
