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 animals 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

ANNOUNCEMENT
COONEY HOTEL
ANNEX OPENING
Individually, the public is looking
for a square deal, and they are
just one human family collectively.
Since going into the hotel business
we have aimed to give our patrons
what they wanted, and to surprise
them by giving them more, when
ever we could.
It was with this aim in view that
we bought, moved and re-created
what was once known as the Bel
mont. The Cooney Hotel Annex
, now stands forth in its new en
vironment, sweet with fresh paper,
paint, furniture, and curtains. Its
inviting cleanliness and comfortable
warmth are now open for inspec
tion and for our New Year’s Day
reception, to which all are welcome.
i
| In many respects the Annex bids
fair to outrival the original Cooney
hotel. A patron receptly aptly re
marked, “A bath without a draft,”
and that phrase applies to the entire
hostelry, of which we can truthfully
state, there is none better in Cen
tral Alaska.
We are Alaskans—we believe in
Alaska’s future. We have demon
strated, and will continue to do so,
j our faith in the railroad town of
jNenana. We have gone into the
hotel business for all we are worth.
! We are in it to stay, and invite the
traveling and home public to stay
with us, thus identifying themselves
with the Alaskan spirit, which actu
ates us at all times. Strangers will
not be treated as outsiders, but
made to recognize that, from sleep
ing apartments to restroom and
; lobby, the entire place is arranged
solely with a view to their ever}'
comfort and need.
As is the custom of the Northern
country, our dog kennels are free
to our patrons, and others may
stable their dogs there at nominal
, cost. We have built a stable 20x50
! feet, wired and heated it, until dogs
forget to howl, having nothing t
howl about
It is not in a spirit of boastful
ness that we thus proclaim our
services. Rather, it is with the idea
of giving the best possible service
for the least medium of exchange,
i AH we strive for is a satisfied
patron. Having done our part, the
public will find us of their own
volition. A wise man once said:
"If I have what the people need,
they will find me; even though I
j hid in the hear; of the mountains,
a pathway would be worn to my
abode.” That is the wisdom we
have tried to put into our hotel
building, into its furnishings, and i
especially into our service. Come.:
and you will want to come again.
We thank our patrons for their
patronage in the past, which has en- |
abled us to show our appreciation
in this practical way. And to ail i
f
of them, and to the public generally, |
we wish a happy and prosperous |
New Year.
