The Nenana district offers oppor
tunities for prospecting, farming, and
trapping that are unequaled in any
other section of Alaska.
Gold placers of known value, close
to Nenana, are producing annually sub
stantial amounts, and there are scores
of streams within the district on which
little or no prospecting has been done.
These streams, until a short time ago
almost inaccessible, are now easily
reached by means of the new Govern
ment Railroad, and undoubtedly soon
will be the scene of much mining ac
tivity.
Farming in the Nenana district has
the advantage of a growing season fully
ten days longer than that of any other
section of Interior Alaska. There is
much desirable land in the district open
to homesteaders, and marketing possi
bilities are being expanded steadily.
Fur-bearing animate of the Nenana
and adjacent districts are noted for the
fine quality of their fur, and trappers
annually bring large numbers of pelts
to Nenana and receive for them higher
prices than are obtained for the average
furs of other districts.
Game of all kinds abounds in the
Nenana district, there are scores of
trout streams easy of access, and the
scenic wonders of the district are un
surpassed. The district is the natural
gateway to Mt. McKinley National
Park, and close to Nenana may be
viewed the largest coal ledges in the
world.

resources and possibilities of the Ne
nana district may be obtained from the

:
According to Jules Oliver, who ar
rived in Nenana this morning on
the steamer Tanana, the lower Yu
kon river was full of salmon when
the Tanana started for Nenana witn
the first of the season's St. Michael
freight. And it is his opinion that
ail the camps along the Yukon and
its tributaries will be able to take
a large catch this summer.
In fact, he says, big catches al
ready have been made on the lower
river, above the cannery. He saw
many racks hanging full, with hun
dreds of fish on the banks near
some of the camps, waiting to be
hung up to dry. In places, logs had
been laid along the beach at the
water’s edge to keep the fish from
jumping back into the river. Sal
mon weighing 50 pounds were of
fered to the steward of the steamer
for 50 cents.
j The fish were just starting to run,
Oliver says, when the Tanana start
ed for Nenana. The run had reach
ed Russian Mission and the natives
in that locality appeared to have
made a big haul. From that point
up river, however, the fish were
less numerous, and at Holy Cross
only two salmon had been caught
when the Tanana arrived there. But
it was generally believed that the
fish would appear shortly and the
natives were preparing for a heavy
catch. The Tanana apparently made
better time up stream than the
salmon, which accounts for the few
that were seen above Russian Mis
sion.
The cannery began Derations as
usual this spring, but up to the
time the Tanana left there, com
paratively few fish had been taken,
owing, it is believed, to unfavora
ble weather conditions.
