The Nectana 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
I 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

10 BE DEVELOPED
Through the untiring efforts of
Hilo Kelly, well-known pioneer min- (
ng operator of the Willow creek
rold camp, a deal has recently been !
>u through whereby the Willow |
>eek Alaska company takes over, 1
inder option to purchase, the hold- 1
ngs of the following companies in
hat district:
1
The Brooklyn Willow Creek com
>any, successor to the Brooklyn De
velopment company, consisting of
ive patented and seven unpatented
ode claims.
The Kelly Willow Creek Mining
•ompany, consisting of eleven un
latented lode claims.
The Independence Gold Mines (
company, which consists of five pat
>nted .and two unpatented lode
claims and mill site.
The William Martin interests in
:he Free Gold Mining company,
consisting of a long lease on sixteen
Patented and seven unpatented lode
claims, mill site, mills, trams, cya-'
elide plants, compressor, drills and
reneral mining machinery, repre
senting an outlay of over $100,000.
The holdings of the companies
which have been taken over by the ;
Willow Creek Alaska company con-1
sist of 26 patented and 29 unpat-.
ented lode claims, lying in one con- j
tiguous group in the very heart of
the Willow Creek gold camp, and
from which practically $700,000 has
been taken, the greater part of
which was mined by William Martin,
the remainder coming from the In
dependence property. 1
It is the intention of the present;
holding company to start compre
hensive work on the Willow creek
side of the mountain, where it is
figured a depth of 1,500 feet can be
obtained by driving a tunnel not to
exceed 1,000 feet.
The famous Gold Bullion mine,
owned by Toronto capitalists, which
has produced over §1,200,000, lies
within 3,000 feet of the eastern
boundaries of this big group.
Mr. Kelly, who has passed a doz
en years in the Willow creek gold
camp, has long sought just such an
amalgamation of lode claims as has
been accomplished through this deal.
Mining engineers familiar with the
camp are agreed that the various
groups represented in the transac
tion can best be developed from the
Willow creek side of the mountain,
as the rich veins on the reverse side
of the mountain are dipping toward
Willow creek.
Dr. E. M. Spaulding, who was re
cently in \enana, has a number of
interests in the group, acquired dur
ing his several years’ residence in
that section of Alaska, and he is
enthusiastic over the possibilities of
such development as is now in pros
pect.
