3 I O-Hp. Diesel Installed— ,
New Pump and * Low-Grade Gold’
EWING A brand new 310-hp.
dit'sel engine is sucking gravel
from from the depths of a big pit
: northeast of town and is pushing
the stuff on a stiff incline 400
feet into a hopper.
Allan Pollock, owner and op
erator of the Pollock Sand &
Gravel company, says the new
machine nearly trebles output of
(this miniature Grand Canyon pit
! that is owned by Sis Ehensgaard
Two other pumps are situated
i at opposite ends of the lake that
! has been created. The lake is
| bounded on the west and north by
| precipitous hills. Water in the
j lake is at the same level as the
I Elkhorn river, which lazily winds
i several stone’s throws away.
The whopper engine is said to
I l>o tlie biggest of its kind in a big
I area and its output of gravel.
! brought to the surface through a
10-in. suction lino, is enough to
satisfy much of the sand and grav -
el appetite in Holt, Wheeler, An
telope counties.
"Biggest users of gravel,” ac
cording to Pollock, "are the countv
governments who use the sand and
gravel for highway work".
Pollock purchased the firm from
John Walker, now of Norfolk,
about seven years ago. At that
time there was one pump a 100
hp. unit. Later Pollock added a
second pump of the same capacity.
Comes now the big new diesel
that keeps a fleet of trucks busy.
The suction pipe is controlled
by a winch and cable which en
able it to probe the bottom of the
lake. The pump is operated by
centrifugal suction, which brings
the material to the surface and
forces it up the eight-inch dis
charge pipe to the bin where most
of the sand is eliminated through
a screen and the gravel is dumped
into trucks.
The bin elevator is 94 ft. above
the pump.
The site is a veruaoie Deacn 01
white sand with "mountains" of
the stuff on several sides.
The lake covers about 25 acres
and, naturally, there are many
deep holes. In many places the
lake is up to 50 ft. deep.
Pollock gets the jitters when
trespassers come around on this
leased property. Sandpits art'
dangerous and are positively no
good for fishing, swimming, boat
ing, or what have you.
Especially hazardous in the
area is quicksand.
The pumps float on improvised
pontoons supported by sealed oil
barrels.
The pit currently is producing
from eight- to 10-thousand-cubic
yards of gravel per month.
Both smaller units have six-inch
suction pipes.
A manganese steel dredge is
part of the equipment.
Pollock’s helpers and drivers
are Charles Kruntorad, Kieth Gib
son, James Bois and Dick Wright
Most of the summer Archie Tuttle
has been on the crew.
Pollock thinks the sand and
Dexter Now at Sea—
Marine Sgt. Harold Dexter, who
landed at Bierut, Lebanon, with
the initial American landings, is
now at sea with the Sixth fleet
His unit was withdrawn from Bei
rut several weeks ago and has
been standing by pending the with
drawal of other American forces.
Dexter, son of Mrs. Richard Tom
linson, says he hopes to have a 10
day leave in France.
Naval Discharge
for Jim McKenny—
DT2 James McKenny arrived
home Wednesday after serving in
the navy. His recent assignment
was in Okinawa. He received his
discharge.
Mrs. McKenny and Frank Me- j
Kenny drove to Omaha Tuesday
to meet him. The McKennys have
a nine-months-old son.
