"This area has seen four phases of mining – placer, tunneling, hydraulic. And dredging. This bucket, one of a chain of 100, holds 12 c.f. and is from one of the worlds largest dredges. The Tuolumne Gold Dredging Co. started operation of the dredge on June 15, 1938 and continued until 1949 when it was abandoned about 3 miles south of here. Other and smaller dredges operated on this river west of La Grange."
