State Press, Moscow & Leningrad, 1930 \r\nArtist: Dobrynin\r\nThe mountains loom in the fog, and sand is removed from the bottom of the river in the depth of the excavation pit in buckets. On the left - after the rocks have been extracted, from dawn to dusk in a barrel of dredge, steam washes the gold inside. On the right - a long elevator covered with an endless cloth returns the washed silt back to the bottom. Not a grain or a nugget gets stuck in this silt - the rocks are washed mechanically. And from the morning, buckets endlessly take apart the bottom, steam washes the stones, clay and sand of dredge. \r\nAt first the goldminer could get the gold by hand, but didn't even dare to think about penetrating into the river's depths. Only a few machines reward this hard work generously, and from them the bowels of the earth do not conceal their valuable ores. These yellow nuggets trickle to us from the deeps with difficulty, but foreign-made machines will bring them to us!
