The F.E. Company Dredge No. 4, also known as the Pedro Dredge, was originally owned by the Fairbanks Exploration Company (FE Co.), a subsidiary of the United States Smelting Refining & Mining Co. (USSR&M). It was built by the Yuba Manufacturing Company in California, and was shipped to Pedro Creek north of Fairbanks, Alaska in 1938. It was assembled there, and operated until 1958. The following year it was disassembled, trucked to Chicken, Alaska and reassembled. The dredge commenced operations on lower Chicken Creek in September and worked for approximately five months every year thereafter until October 1967, when it produced its final cleanup. In 1998, the 500 ton dredge was moved overland to its current location at the Chicken Gold Camp.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pedro Dredge )〕 In 2006, the dredge was added to the National Register of Historic Places and was opened to the public. ==See also== * Chatanika gold dredge (Fairbanks) * Coal Creek Historic Mining District * Goldstream Dredge No. 8 * National Register of Historic Places listings in Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, Alaska 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「F.
