While the dredge was not yet fully complete, it was clearly ready to be moved away from the docks and to float on its own. A crowd has gathered to observe the event.

Photographer Frances E. Haven was based in Prairie City, about 15 miles east of the town of John Day, so this site may be close to where she lived. There was significant dredging for gold happening both east of Prairie City on the John Day and north of Prairie City on Dixie Creek.
