MANY ARE PROSPECTING
IN CHANDLAR DISTRICT
Arrivals from the Chandlar dis
trict, who reached Nenana this week
aboard the little steamer Columbus,
report that there is a lot of pros
pecting in progress in the Chandlar
region, but that nothing new in the
way of paystreaks has been uncov
ered since last summer. It is esti
mated that there are between forty
and fifty people in the district.
The fact that there is not more
activity in that region is attributed
to the fact that the district is hard
to get into and supplies are scarce
and costly.
Curley Smith is reported to be
doing well on Little Squaw creek
and is looking forward to a big
cleanup for the summer. He is at
work on proven ground, on a lay
from the original staker.

i SPECIAL NENANA ELECTION
IS IN PROGRESS TODAY
The special election, called by the
! Nenana city council to ascertain
the sentiment of voters on the ques
tion of municipal ownership of pub
lic utilities, is progressing slowly
at the Fire Hall today, the vote
for and against the municipal own
ership proposition having been very
light up to the hour of going to
press.
In spite of the fact that the ques
• tion involved in the election has
been explained a number of times in
the columns of The News, there ap
! p ears to be considerable lack of
understanding among the voters and
this is said to account for the fact
that voting is not more general.
Should the vote be favorable, the
council will endeavor to provide the
! city with a municipal-owned light
and power plant, with the ultimate
object of giving patrons of the pub
lic utilities the benefit of low rates.
The polls opened at eight o’clock
this morning and will remain open
until eight this evening, and it is
- the hope of the council that the vote
will be a respresentative one, either
! for or against the proposition so that
there will remain no doubht regard
ing the state of the public mind.
The intention of the council is to
solve the light and water problem
in a manner that will result in
ultimate saving to the city and to
the public generally but. regardless
of the result of the election, no
action of a permanent character
will be taken without taking the
public into consultation.
Mrs. May C. Bums is clerk of
election and Mrs. P.. W. Calderhead
and Tom Hogan are the judges, ap
pointed by the council to supervise
the voting.
