PROSPECTING
FAVORED BY
ALASKA HEDS
(Continued from Page 2)
cept the hardships and disap
pointments should choose some
occupation other than prospect
ing. It is proposed to point out in
this paper some of the problems
confronting the prospective pros
pector. A number of important
discoveries have seemingly been
the result of pure luck, but a
knowledge of geology and min
eralogy is desirable before taking
the field on a prospecting ven
ture. A number of very good ;
non-technical books have been |
published on the subject, and j
some of the universities, includ
ing the University of Alaska, of
fer short courses in mining and
* prospecting.
Free assaying service is avail
able to Alaskan prospectors at
the Territorial assay offices, as
well as the identification of
rocks and minerals that are not
recognized in the field, but which
may contain something of value.
These offices are located at Ket
chikan, Anchorage, College and
Nome. The men in charge are
familiar with adjacent areas and
may be able to offer helpful sug
gestions.
Financing
Financing necessary to carry on
prospecting during the open sea
son in Alaska varies. Probably
the minimum amount required
for ordinary pick, shovel and
pan method of prospecting is the
more accessible regions would be
from $750 to $1000 which would
include transportation and sup
plies for a period of approximate
ly six months. A reserve fund
should be available from which

to draw in case no employment
is obtainable at the close of the
season. Fortunate indeed would
be the prospector who could in
one season locate a deposit suf
ficiently rich to yield returns that
would finance future work.
Transportation alone into the
more remote and isolated sec
tions of the Territory might
reach near the amounts mention
ed above. No government or Ter
ritorial financial assistance is at
present available for prospecting
in Alaska. Reconstruction Financ
uCorporation loans may be
obtained under certain conditions
for developing prospects already
located. The requirements for
obtaining one of these loans are
difficult to fulfill and in only a
few instances have Alaskan
prospectors been able to obtain
them. It is desirable for a pros
pector to have sufficient funds
of his own to carry on his work
in that he will have full control
of any claims that he may lo
cate. any chances for sale or
lease of property under favorable
terms have been lost on account
of disagreement among partners
or stockholders. Other methods
of financing include grubstaking
whereby one or a group of per
sons furnish funds for the ven
ture, usually for a 50 percent in
terest in any mining property
that may be acquired- Mining
companies will in certain cases
finance prospecting, usually in
areas chosen by the company.
The latter method is used more
extensively in Canada than in
the United States.
Equipment and Supplies
Ordinary equipment and sup
plies may be purchased in Alas
ka at any of the larger towns and
at many of the smaller towns
