DUNN ACT IS AID TO MEN
WHO SEEK GOLD PAYSTKEAKS
(.Anchorage Times.*)
The Prospectors’ Aid Act, which
was introduced by Senator John. W
Dunn, of Ruby, and passed hv the last
Territorial legislature, and for which
$20,000 was appropriated to carry it
into effect, has been received with en
[ thusiasm by prospectors in many
1 parts of toe Territory, according to
i L». D. Stewart, Federal mining en
; ginee.r who has charge of the work
ing out of the act.
'I he act provides that transporta
tion a.d, not to exceed $150 each, may
be given any bona tide prospectors
whose claims are approved by the
local agents appointed by Mr. Stewart,
himself and Governor George A.
Parks. When l he Dunn act was tirst
put into effect each prospector had to
pay his own transportation before he
might have- a claim for aid allowed.
This procedure was found to he im
practicable, and it is now provided
that any transportation company, .or
individual willing to do so. may fur
nish transportation to the prospector
and put in the claim for reimburse
ment, certified by the prospector to
show that it lias actually been fur-.
nished. The claim is then passed,
upon as before, by the local agents.
Mr. Stewart and the Governor. -
Over S4,0u0 Spent.
Of the $20,001) appropriated last
year, $4,425.53 had been spent at the
end of the fiscal year, March 31. 1928.
: Vouchers for $1,166.83 have since then
been sent to the- Governor's office for
approval, and applications asking for
$1,730 actual reimbursement are
pending approval in the office of Mr.
Stewart,
At the end of the fiscal year 70 ap-,
plications had been received, or over,
haif the number that could be taken
eare of by the $20,000 appropriation j
which is to last until the next Legis
lature meets, in 1929, From the First
division 13 applications were received!
by Mr. Stewart, from the Second di
vision 27 applications, 5 from the
I Third division, and 25 from the
Fourth division. The Second and
Fourth divisions, from which the
greatest number of applications were
received, are the placer mining dis
tricts where work is best dyne in the
winter, according to Mr. Stewart,
Airplanes Used, j
Over a dozen claims based upon air
I plane trips out of Fairbanks to. the
headwaters of the Kobuk and Noatak
rivers have been among the most in
teresting received by the Mine In
spector’s office. For many .years this!
district has attracted the. attention of
those interested in mining, but was
difficult and at times impossible to j
reach, until airplane transportation1
was available, Mr. Stewart declared.
The 13 local agents appointed by
! Stewart to help take care of applica-,
: tions, and explain the law to miners
i in their own vicinity, are in most
cases U. S. commissioners, and are ■
located at Nome, Valdez, McCarthy, j
Hyder, Fairbanks, Anchorage, Peters- ^
burg, Wiseman, Chitina, Ketchikan,'
Ruby, Craig and Sitko. When appli
j cations were received from towns
having no agent, one is appointed.
Good Law.
A letter recently received b\ Mr.
Stewart from George S. Maynard,
publisher of the- Nome Nugget* who
acts as agent for the Prospectors’ Aid
Act at Nome, indicates t.h<i reception |
the act has met with, • anti says, in!
part:
“The miners and prospectors are
beginning to feel that this is a good
law, and are working me overtime
filling out their blanks and explaining \
the nature erf the law.
i “Practically alb these fellows are |
the salt of the earth—and it falls to
my lot, to make out all of their papers
and vouchers, forms and so forth.
They are so pleased when they get as- j
sistance that it is a pleasure to help
them. I believe this this law is going
to do more to get miners back in the
hills than anything else.’’
