Interesting find while trapping #7804799 02/22/23 06:29 PM 02/22/23 06:29 PM

It was used to dredge peat out of the swamp, which was sold. I found a video that shows it in use. The farmer told me that instead of a boom, there was a heavy cable straddling the swamp that the dredge bucket was suspended from. Here’s the video of one of the Sauerman Brothers in operation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7miJbm-kOc

It was a slope Mine and it pulled the men and equipment up and down. Probably still there. God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.
