The Nenana district offers oppor
tunities for prospecting, farming, Mid
trapping that are unequaled m 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

CANYON CITY NOTES;
Wednesday, February 4.
A spell of cold weather lasting
about three days, followed by two
days of strong wind from the south,
was experienced here recently. Rail
road work was hampered to some'
extent during the cold spell and the
teams hauling supplies to camps be
yond the end of steel had to be
kept in the barn.
On the train arriving here last
Wednesday several more stationmen
reached camp. Sterling & Co.,
George Smith & Co., and Dan Radi
& Co. have contracted to clear sec
tions of the right-of-way, and Stan
ley Chernaeff & Co. and Nick Jelick
& Co., who will do grading work,
brought up their outfits and some
of the men for the purpose of
commencing active operations,
j All of these contractors, with
their outfits, were held up in camp
■ by the cold wave. They left for
their camps last Saturday.
I __ I
i Superintendent Dan Leech left
Saturday morning for Moreno’s. He
took a gang of men along with him
' for the purpose of building a wagon
trail to the distant camp.
Mrs. J. J. Kestly and Miss Alta
i Russell arrived Saturday from Resi
dent Engineer Kestly’s camp, a few
! miles south of this city, on a visit.
(The ladies occupied the resident en
gineer's quarters during their stay
here.

1 Owing to the hurricane prevail
i ing, Mrs. Kestly and Miss Russell,
who had intended returning to the
| Kestly camp on Sunday, were com
pelled to stay over till the storm
abated. To while away the tedium
of an enforced stay indoors, vari
jous games were indulged in. Resi
dent Engineers Kestly and Haslem
joined the party later on and a
dance was hurriedly got up. To
. the strains of a violin played bv
Johei^Quenboe, the floor of Huston
: Mills’ quarters was put to a severe
;test under the play of many pairs
| of feet in a Tively” Virginia reel.
| Camps cars are not very good for
dancing.
! The hurricane has made freight
ing difficult, stretches of the trail
. being blown clear of snow at soipe
.points and badly drifted at others,
necessitating shoveling ere the teams
could tackle them. Freight is mov
ing steadily in spite of these and
'other handicaps.
i _
The hospital building at Camp
358, about two miles south of Can
'yon City, is rapidly approaching
'completion. An extra carpenter has
been sent over from this camp to
help put on the finishing touches.

On the slope of the hill overlook

The new messhall and dormitory
building on the south of Camp
creek and facing Lignite avenue
are being rushed to completion. It
is expected that the buildings will
soon be ready for use.
Mrs. Kestly and Miss Alta Rus
sell visited the Broad Pass store
Saturday, and what they saw there
was much in the nature of a rev
elation. They had expected to see
a store in a small way—country
fashion, but what they did see was
an up-to-date metropolitan affair.
! G. L. Laughlin has left camp for
Camp 358, where he will be sta
tioned till the hospital has been
completed.
Canyon City sporting and society j
circles are awaiting the advent of ^
Dr. Lake. He will be an acquisi-;
tion. The doctor is expected to
arrive here pretty soon.

The pups have opened their eyes
and have taken a good look at as
much as they could see, so far, of
a wicked world. Mavourneen and
Acushla are both pretty and cute,
while Mike struts around with a
proprietary air. He is easily the
“cock of the walk” and already
bosses his sisters and mother. |

Louis Daigle and party, who were
stormbound at this camp for a cou- ,
pie of days, hit the trail Monday.
They are headed for the coast.
Ole Jacobsen arrived in camp
Tuesday night from Talkeetna and ;
reports the trail to be in the best
=.hape he has ever seen it. He had
been engaged in hauling freight for
several days between Talkeetna and
the Summit and Middle Fork road
houses. He brought in a load of
baggage* the owners of which are
mushing in over the “hump, oound
for Canyon City.
Ole Jacobsen, John Dahl and
George Mitchell recently bought,
out Con Sullivan, who used to own
and run the Middle Fork roadhouse,
approximately 16 miles south Jt'
the summit.
This hostelry has been renovated
and considerably improved and the
new proprietors are prepared to
cater to the creature comforts of
both man and beast. A new stock
of stores has been hauled in, special
accommodations rigged up for la
dies, and the place has been made
' as comfortable as possible.
The Middle Fork roadhouse has
accommodations for 7"> dogs.
Oie Jacobson brings word that a
great many men are to be sent to
this division of the Government
lailroad from the coast division
'soon.. All the men who left Nenanu
bound for the States were offered
work on the coast division at at
tractive wages, just as soon as they
reached Talkeetna, Ole says. Most
of them, according to him, accepted
'the offers and are now working for
Uncle Sam again.
A gang of stationmen, fourteen
in number, under the leadership of
Andrew Tueff, who are being sent
over here by Colonel Mears, reached
the Canyon roadhouse (Mrs. All
red's) recently. Andrew Tueff ami
five men came on to the end of
steel Monday and went on to town
on the special which brought out
a carload of stores for the Broad
Pass store. The rest of the men
1 are at the Canyon roadhouse for,
the present.
i —T :
! Reports received from out the
trail recently indicate that another
' gang of stationmen, enroute from
the coast to this division, will reach
Canyon City soon.
