The fourth episode of "Alaskan: A Modern Day Gold Rush" is set to premiere on Outdoor Channel Saturday, Feb. 4 at 1 p.m. ET.

In the fourth episode, An Armada, the stampeders of the Klondike Gold Rush have arrived at the head waters of the Yukon River and must build boats to carry them to the gold fields. At the Cripple River Mining Camp, some of the crew members are finishing last-minute repairs, while others begin development on a road connecting the outer camps, said Supervising Producer Greg Miller.

As gold hits $1,700 an ounce, dredgers lament lost income

Rick Eddy and Steve Tyler are gold bugs who think they are being robbed.Their problem is that they are suction dredgers. They ply the rivers in their raft-sized crafts in search of gold. Until recently they were able to make a good living at it. Department of Fish and Game regulations allowed any California resident or non-resident to obtain a suction dredge mining permit after paying a nominal fee. On average 3,650 of these permits were issued every year.
