Alaska Gold
Originally a silent film by the U.S. Smelting and Mining Co. from 1949, KUAC added a sound track and narration to explain the process and history of mining gold in Alaska’s rugged conditions. ©KUAC, 1981
DVD’s of this program are available for purchase at www.kuac.org.
That was excellent film of gold history in Alaska
There is a CREATOR and IT returned me from death to give this information.
I was given how ‘gold’ formed to ‘prove’ my brain injury is being restored and not believed but the FEDERAL AGENTS CYBER ATTACK.
STOP CYBER ATTACKING ME.
Growing HEMP will restore ‘soil’, restore ‘atmosphere’, restore ECONOMY.
ADVANCE HUMANITY
CREATORS HEALING WARRIOR
FEDERAL AGENT at CenturyLink4347 has hacked my computer stopping my updates. I am AFRAID to return to FACEBOOK.
Because my doctor told me that BIG PHARMA will financially destroy any doctor that proves that THC restores brain injuries made me so upset that I taught myself MOLECULAR SCIENCE and created GOLD. You see I learned TEMPERING long ago and understood about heat manipulating molecules. When I went to the only gold shop in KALISPELL MONTANA and showed JB I reached 22K then he threw me out telling the ‘city council’ that I am creating FOOLS GOLD pass tests.
You see copper is 179 atoms that will melt at 1400F to 1800F but ‘atoms’ must be brought to a boiling point that is 3500F and have no OXYGEN putting pressure against it or will expand exploding burning on contact. This must be done for 72 to 100 hours. 100 atoms will boil out and melted BORAX will absorb them leaving 79 atoms that is GOLD.
All this was just to ‘prove’ that my 5.5 TBI is being restored with THC.
You will lose 67% of weight in transition process.
ALASKA IS THE NEW CALIFORNIA WHEN IT FALLS INTO THE OCEAN CALIFORNIA WILL ONE DAY
1928-1964 = 38 years of dredging.
$125 million @ $35/oz = 3.571 million ounces of gold.
Today’s value @ $1600/oz = $5.7 billion.
See why the government got involved?
Of course there was ‘minimal ecological impacts’ from the uncontrolled release of mercury, building toxic ponds everywhere, poisoning thousands of residents and workers, permanently demolishing entire ecosystems.
The government is entirely self regulated and can run by whatever standard they choose to set for their own use.
Anybody (not affiliated with government purposes) who dares to walk to the river with a gold pan (and removes the residual mercury) is being blanket labeled as a savage baby eagle killer.
Spin city madness.. Given the current state of endless gold collection regulations, the propaganda runs deep in this masterpiece.
From a historical perspective, very cool stuff.
Welcome to the modern era of tree hugging and biological imperatives. The days of overt government exploitation are long, long gone. Cant get away with raping the land, rampant taxation and trade tariffs are the new cash cow that we all get to feel the sting from.
Good informative video! Nice gold! Here is a video I made, finding gold around the San Domingo Wash area near Morristown Arizona @
So this guy with the paddle is working with mercury?
Lived in Fairbanks in 1967-68. The ‘A/’67 Fair showed a lot of mining equipment and there was a huge dredge so it was great to see this film and to actually understand, finally, how gold was taken from the ground. Thank you so much for posting. Earthquake and Chena River Flood also when I was there. Made me a ‘sourdough’ real fast. Loved my time up there-thx again!
Awsome Awsome history documentary … at its finest. Miners today could learn alot here no doubt .
Very interesting, A treasure of video history.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you.
Wish we had interviews with some of the old miners.
Wow what an insight
Work for the fe company 1980-83 wood cutter hog river . The Boss was Dan Egan his son was there ,after is father died
he took over, Pete Egan.I work on the dredge a little bit. grue up in machine shops back east.what i like was i worked on a tourniquet lathe for the crossman arms company back in the 70s. The floor next to the fe machine shop lathe had 4by4 wood floor .A water pump shaft if you drop it ?
Pretty sure Tony Beets got that same ole dredge up and running again.
$35/oz… Oof!
That was a good film..Always saw this dredge on gold fever with Tom Massie..Cool to see the history of it..
I’m sure glad I found your podcast really miss those shows of the Yukon with all you guys really good to see everybody’s doing okay may God look after all of you
Break up in any small town with a large river running thru it is still breathtaking to this day from one side of the country to the other
It’s sad that all these hard workers are long gone.
Trust me if this thing was running you wouldn’t be able to hear the sound of boots on the deck.
Is this the voice? You,,,,, voice.
Wow ..! Thank you for sharing
I wonder how much arsenic you have put in the serene pond as you call it
They have a marble
Masonic building in
Fairbanks is Amazing
I always wondered if there was a 10,000 cubic foot thick piece of gold could ever be found somewhere
Mammoth etc found in top muck above gold and heavies huh.. disproves evilutioners. Wonder what kind of event could have washed them up and buried them. Like you see in the dinosaur graveyard hmm I love prospecting but his mercy I do more.
3.5 million ounces. that is impressive
The narrator sounds a lot like Nick Offerman.
i see a large dredge floating on the river, collecting sand for masonry stuff, it dumps it on a barge and gets unloaded by crane, the strong current keeps new sand flowing in, so it never moves very far
was nome beach special, or there are more beaches like nome in there ???
What a shame that they had to use mercury to get gold to stick to it I wonder how many people were poisoned with that process
I miss Alaska an Anchorage
The people were cool as hell
SEE ANEW >> you can’t eat money / gold

Why does everyone say bad things about the Beets family if you know the story about this unbelievable family Tony Beets he’s a hero to so many he has been supplying people jobs for a long long time I don’t know maybe its jealousy lol I know for a fact that it’s jealousy this man came with the tiniest amount of money and a extremely young wife with a dream and I’m pretty sure he was very scared but he earned his money nobody gave him a penny and man I have to really admire that he is100 % MAN must be a awesome guy because all of his children work for his company and that’s really impressive thumbs up Tony

Wow, 35$ per ounce
@26:15 “Gloves? We don’t need no stinking gloves…”
What did he say about the miner supporting his shaft?
Kinda wish it was in black and white
When Gold was $ 31.69 an Oz. today -1,900 an Oz. Hold doesn’t change much in value, only the dollar does. https://nma.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/historic_gold_prices_1833_pres.pdf
More than half of his facts are inaccurate.
And every ounce is gone to the
Bastards who made us love gold.
I bet not one man mining ever Ask himself why ,why gold why do we hold gold in such reverence?
Because we were created as a slave race to mine gold for them and it’s a double edge sword because the nephileam created us and it’s why everybody who invents new technology robots 🤖,the first thing they wanna do is phuck it.
The ancient Sumerian and Mesopotamian tablets are not made up fiction.
At what it was sold for, from those days till now is in the billions, close as I could figure on paper a difference of sixteen billion dollars worth. Oddly our current world debt climbs and the amount of gold in reserves that someone made off with cause the gold was never used. I really don’t understand why such a defacett in price as we import more than we export and our peoples hands are tied and it never gets better. I wouldn’t want the job of president
Ron Clark did a great narration
Super cool old vid! Nice stuff
You’re way too far from the grandfather load, the grandmother load, as well as the mother load.
Very interesting – so grateful that someone filmed this invaluable part of history – I didn’t realize that mercury was used on dredges. Amazing when we think that gold was prized even at $35 dollars/ounce. The old prospectors are rolling over in their graves with today’s prices (even adjusted for inflation)!
There was peace then Tony Beets turns up to moved the dredge.
gold!!!
If this was shot in b&w, it should be shown in b&w.
I’ve had the privilege of working on a number of the old USSR&M Co. properties in the Fairbanks and Nome mining districts since 1987. About half of the dredges are still located on the claims. The big dragline is still sitting near Ester, nearly obscured by vegetation. The Alaska Gold Co. (descendant of USSR&M Co.) was still running two of these dredges in Nome in 1993, as well as the big gangs of "thaw monkeys" working the cold water thaw points.
