being able to get our dozer out to our claim. 274 00:13:46,318 --> 00:13:48,146 We couldn't find anybody. 275 00:13:48,180 --> 00:13:49,939 But once again, the king of the Klondike, 276 00:13:49,974 --> 00:13:53,215 Tony Beets, hooks us up. 277 00:13:53,249 --> 00:13:54,870 You know, what Tony's just done for us 278 00:13:54,905 --> 00:13:56,836 has basically solved the biggest problem we have. 279 00:14:18,939 --> 00:14:20,629 Klondike legend Tony Beets 280 00:14:20,663 --> 00:14:24,387 is planning to mine more gold than ever before. 281 00:14:37,284 --> 00:14:39,180 Tony's already mined 282 00:14:39,215 --> 00:14:41,525 all the easy pay dirt on Paradise Hill. 283 00:14:42,249 --> 00:14:43,525 Now he's digging out 284 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,525 the deepest cuts of his career, 285 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,560 the Cold Cut and the Blue Cut. 286 00:14:48,594 --> 00:14:53,525 With only 650 ounces of gold mined so far, 287 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,560 Ruby Mahoney loads 300 yards of pay dirt an hour 288 00:14:57,594 --> 00:15:00,008 into the trommel from both cuts. 289 00:15:00,043 --> 00:15:02,077 You know, we're working really hard. 290 00:15:02,111 --> 00:15:04,387 Mother Nature doesn't wanna give up that gold very easily, 291 00:15:04,422 --> 00:15:06,767 and there's things that you have to juggle all of the time 292 00:15:06,801 --> 00:15:08,353 but luckily we got the manpower 293 00:15:08,387 --> 00:15:09,525 and we got the iron. 294 00:15:32,594 --> 00:15:34,146 In six weeks, 295 00:15:34,180 --> 00:15:36,422 Tony's son Mike has removed 296 00:15:36,456 --> 00:15:38,974 two-thirds of the overburden from the cuts. 297 00:15:39,008 --> 00:15:42,077 Now he must strip the last third 298 00:15:42,111 --> 00:15:43,422 in just one week. 299 00:15:44,422 --> 00:15:46,732 While one crew strips in the Blue Cut, 300 00:15:46,767 --> 00:15:49,836 Mike leads another crew in the Cold Cut, 301 00:15:49,870 --> 00:15:53,870 ripping overburden, which is loaded into rock trucks, 302 00:15:53,905 --> 00:15:56,905 then hauled to the nearest dump site. 303 00:15:56,939 --> 00:15:58,905 But temperatures are rising, 304 00:15:58,939 --> 00:16:01,974 and the ground is thawing so fast, 305 00:16:02,008 --> 00:16:04,560 the trucks are in danger of getting stuck. 306 00:16:05,939 --> 00:16:10,180 It's a dangerous game trying to drive when it's this muddy. 307 00:16:10,215 --> 00:16:12,663 With the mess they make, we have to make sure we have 308 00:16:12,698 --> 00:16:14,043 something there to push the dirt. 309 00:16:32,939 --> 00:16:34,767 At the Cold Cut dump site, 310 00:16:34,801 --> 00:16:37,215 Yukon rookie Peter Akama 311 00:16:37,249 --> 00:16:41,043 is using a D6 dozer to move the thawed mud 312 00:16:41,077 --> 00:16:43,801 and keep the route clear for the rock trucks. 313 00:17:27,905 --> 00:17:29,008 Yeah. 314 00:17:46,284 --> 00:17:49,491 Until they can get the track back on the D6, 315 00:17:49,525 --> 00:17:52,008 the rock trucks will have to use a dump site 316 00:17:52,043 --> 00:17:53,629 on the other side of the claim, 317 00:17:53,663 --> 00:17:55,732 half a mile away. 318 00:17:57,318 --> 00:17:59,422 So now that the dump site has moved, 319 00:17:59,456 --> 00:18:02,318 the guys are ripping through the overburden 320 00:18:02,353 --> 00:18:04,215 faster than we can truck it out, 321 00:18:04,249 --> 00:18:06,905 because now we have a longer haul. 322 00:18:06,939 --> 00:18:09,836 So now it can just [bleep] up the whole progress 323 00:18:09,870 --> 00:18:11,939 of everyone's situation right now. 324 00:18:19,387 --> 00:18:23,008 Tony needs to get the D6 out of the mud 325 00:18:23,043 --> 00:18:25,318 before he can do the track repair. 326 00:19:26,111 --> 00:19:30,629 The 63-ton D10 is stuck in the mud. 327 00:19:30,663 --> 00:19:32,767 Tony's problems keep getting bigger, 328 00:19:32,801 --> 00:19:35,043 with both dozers now stranded. 329 00:19:38,801 --> 00:19:41,180 To get the dozers out, 330 00:19:41,215 --> 00:19:45,180 Tony throws even more iron at the problem. 331 00:20:39,215 --> 00:20:41,767 If Tony is going to have both cuts 332 00:20:41,801 --> 00:20:44,043 completely cleared of overburden 333 00:20:44,077 --> 00:20:45,456 by the end of the week, 334 00:20:45,491 --> 00:20:49,008 they'll need to fix the D6 dozer in record time. 335 00:20:50,284 --> 00:20:52,215 Some small problems turn into big ones. 336 00:20:52,249 --> 00:20:53,387 It's a pain in the ass. 337 00:20:53,422 --> 00:20:55,629 Everything like that puts a knot in your schedule, 338 00:20:55,663 --> 00:20:57,249 makes things take longer. 339 00:20:57,284 --> 00:21:00,560 I can't pull miracles out of my ass. 340 00:21:12,111 --> 00:21:13,422 Looks like a highway down here 341 00:21:13,456 --> 00:21:14,974 with all the trucks in and out. 342 00:21:15,008 --> 00:21:16,905 This is gonna be a massive cut. 343 00:21:16,939 --> 00:21:18,905 Really looking forward to getting to the bottom of it here 344 00:21:18,939 --> 00:21:20,491 and seeing what kind of gold's in it. 345 00:21:22,249 --> 00:21:23,905 At Indian River, 346 00:21:23,939 --> 00:21:25,939 foreman Mitch Blaschke's crew 347 00:21:25,974 --> 00:21:29,318 are trying to get down to pay at the Bear Cut 348 00:21:29,353 --> 00:21:33,767 before Big Red chews through all the Easy Street pay dirt. 349 00:21:33,801 --> 00:21:37,318 We're definitely using all the tools in the tool box 350 00:21:37,353 --> 00:21:38,732 to get this project done. 351 00:21:38,767 --> 00:21:41,801 We got the dozers out here pushing this material up. 352 00:21:41,836 --> 00:21:43,870 Now the excavator's sitting here on the piles, 353 00:21:43,905 --> 00:21:47,043 and the truck's taking this waste up to the dump site. 354 00:21:47,939
