Shown to the left is a typical
rocker operation during the
early days of the Klondike.
Some operations had as
many as eight rockers
working. One rocker could
probably wash 20-25 cubic
yards in a ten-hour day.
A cubic yard of gravel had to have
at least $2.50 worth of gold in it
to be sluiced to pay for labour,
before meeting other costs.
