"In certain cases, placer material is most economically excavated with a shore-mounted dragline or backhoe and a floating (barge-mounted) concentrating plant. The barge consists of a large two-story building using machineries such as pulleys, conveyor belts, buckets and cables to dredge for gold. Four men in a boat(?) are about to dock near one of the several side entrances to the gold dredging barge.
