Coplin and Glass
Dredge at Council
Is Ready To Dig
Frank Coplin, prominent Nome
businessman for the past several
years and previously a miner and
flying prospector in the Fairha
ven-Candle district, is in town for
a day or two from his dredge
camp at Council.
This spring, Frank, along with
Clyde Glass, Nome’s recent police
chief and longtime Council miner
and dredge operator, acquired one
of the three F. K. Dent dredges in
the Council area. These three
dredges have been inoperative
since the disastrous government
order was issued by a bureaucrat
ic agency in 1942 closing down all
gold mining in the nation for the
duration of World War II, and
from* which the gold mining in
dustry has not yet fully recovered.
The dredge Coplin Consolidated
Enterprises has taken over was
formerly operated by the Council
Dredging Co., one of Dent’s three
operating companies of yester
year. It is a flume-type dredge
with a 23-foot ladder and 67
three-cubic foot buckets which
dig at a minimum of 20 buckets to
the minute and 2,000 yards per
day, and is now dug in on bed
rock on the Ophir Flats, located
at the confluence of Ophir Creek
and the Neukluk River, on ground
leased from oldtimer Hans Lar
sen.
Sufficient stripping and remov
al of overburden has already been
accomplished to insure a season’s
operation. A half dozen buildings
have been moved in constitute
an excellent camp. A crew of 12
has been recruited and, under the
supervision of Frank and Dredge
master Clyde Glass, all look for
ward to a successful season.

chorage of CAP wing headquar

several days waiting for weather
to break.

tricity generated in the world is
produced in the United States.
