The Nenana district offers oppor
tunities for prospecting, forming, and
trapping that are unequated 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.
Fanning 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

BOUNDARY SURVEY
GAVE CANADA PAY
IN HER REGION
KETCHIKAN.—Valuable gold de
posits near Hyder, south of Ketch
ikan, which are reported to be miles
in extent, have been lost to the
United States by the decision of
American surveyors defining the
boundary line between Alaska and
Canada. It was decided to follow
the lines of Canadian surveys rather
than the monuments of early Rus
sian lines.
Recent development of the prop
erties near Hyder, reports of which
spread to the outside world, have
elicited hundreds of inquiries from
the United States and even Great
Britain, which, it is believed, may
presage a “rush” to Hyder next
spring rivaling the famous Klondike
stampede.
The American engineers on the
official boundary- survey agreed with
^he Canadian party to leave the
lines of the Russian survey and,
instead of following a natural ridge
;up to the headwaters of Salmon
river, turned west at an angle of
:45 degrees, throwing into Canada
jthe upper Salmon River district and
■the hills where are located the ma
jority of the Hyder deposits. Hyder
■ is on the American line, and be
I cause of the topography of the coun
5 try, the Canadian claims must be
approached from the Territory of
Alaska.
j According to reports received
Ihere, the mines, while said to be
remarkably rich in ore, are difficult
!of access and considerable develop
ment work is necessary before they
Jean be put on a paying basis. At
[the Premier mine, now said to be
j controlled by New York interests,
thousands of dollars have been spent
jin building roads, and thousands
;morc in development of the mine
j itself. For miles on bath, the Am
jerican and Canadian sides every
(claim has been staked and there
| is little ground left open in the
j district, it is reported.
Experienced miners here say that
| a “rush” to the district would result
(poorly for prospectors without capi
jtal, who would be unable to get at
; the ore.

WOMAN'S STATEMENT
WILL HELP NENANA
“I hated cooking because whatever
I ate gave me sour stomach and a
bloated feeling. I drank. hot water
and olive oil by the gallon. Nothing
j helped until I tried simple buck
thorn bark, glyeerine, etc., as mixed
in Adler-i-ka.” Because it flushes
! the ENTIRE bowel tract completely
, Adler-i-ka relieves ANY CASE sour
| stomach, gas or constipation and
l prevents appendicitis. The INSTANT
action is surprising. A. D. Thomp

DEATH TRAINS OF
SIBERIA FEATURE
OF PRESENT RULE
—
TOKIO.—The death trains consti
tute a fearful feature of the Si
berian railroad, says Colonel R. B
Teusler, American Red Cross com
missioner to Siberia. Into these
trains are packed at the front, say,
500 refugess, most of them suffer
ing from typhus or some other dis
ease and infested with vermin.
i
The trains are sent eastward ta
Vladivostok. None of the towns
along the way want the refugees to
be added to their own troubles, so
the trains are passed along, the
refugees dying on the way. By the
time the train reaches Vladivostok,
frequently more than half of the
sufferers have died. As the bodies
are removed from the cars every
morning, fresh passengers are likely
to be thrust in in their places.
1 Another feature of the suffering
of the inhabitants, according to Col
onel Teusler, is the towns composed
of dugouts which are to be found
in many places. They consist of
hundreds of holes dug in the ground,
in which the inhabitants are herded.
Smallpox is frequently among them
l Colonel Teusler said that under
wear is one of the greatest need:
of the Siberian people. Many girl:
of people formerly well-to-do arc
now clothed in rags. If they could
have ribbons and simple laces, he
said, it would help to support the
morale of the people.
