Sulzer, Alaska

Sulzer, Alaska is a ghost town on Prince of Wales Island in the U.S. state of Alaska. The community centered on a copper mine established by William Sulzer on the shore of Hetta Inlet. Operated by the Alaska Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company, the Jumbo Mine was active from 1907 to 1918 and was one of Alaska's largest copper producers.

Charles August Sulzer, brother of William and delegate to the United States Congress from the Territory of Alaska, died in Sulzer in 1919.
