FREE TRANSPORTATION FOR
PROSPECTORS
John Sumpf, Juneau’s well kno
wn musician who, in addition to
his profession, has followed min
ing in many American States,
British Columbia and Alaska and
made a study of the mining ga
me as a community developer,
believes that Alaska’s greatest
need is to get prospectors in the
hills again. To further that end
he wants the Juneau Chamber
of Commerce to urge the Gover
nment through the Bureau of
Mines, to maintain a boat at Jun
eau to transport prospectors and
carry supplies to them free of
charge and to gather informat
ion regarding the various sect
ions of the country which prom
ise the probability of returns to
prospectors.
