Description |
English: Miners used water running through sluice boxes to wash the gold out of the pay dirt. Lumber for the sluice boxes was cut from nearby hills and finished in a nearby sawmill. As the hills were cleared, lumber became even more expensive. A typical two-man sluice was fifty feet long, ten inches tall, and twelve to fourteen inches across, with lengthwise riffles built into the bottom. This photo of four men working on a sluice was taken by Hegg & Co. at Bonanza Creek, Yukon Territory, probably in 1898 or 1899. The name of the claim, No. 44 below on Bonanza, means that this was the 44th claim below the original strike at Bonanza Creek. Original title: No. 44 below on Bonanza
