Mcgeorge Brothers' Freehold

Mcgeorge Brothers' Freehold No. 2 Dredge, which is one of the most up-to-date and strongly built in the valley, is working on Glen-iti Farm, about five miles from Waikaka. The property consists of 400 acres—sufficient to keep the dredge working for many years. The power is derived from a sixteen horse-power Marshall engine, with a twenty horsepower boiler by the same firm. The pontoons are extra strong, and the ladder is forty-eight feet long with five feet six-inch buckets.
