The dredges shut down for the winter, but one built for "Klondike Joe Boyle" was designed to operate year-round, and Boyle had it operate all through one winter.
Bagre obyčajne cez zimu nepracovali, ale jeden z nich zhotovený pre „Klondike Joe Boyla“ bol zostrojený na nepretržitú ročnú prevádzku a Boyle s ním pracoval aj v zime.
