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, mid 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
readied by means of the new Govern
ment Railroad, and undoubtedly soon
wiU be the scene of much raining ac
tivity.
Farming in the Nenana district has
the advantage of a growing season fully
ten Hays 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 dabricts.
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

BASKETBALL TEAMS
lOMEETJMOiOW
The Taylor and Blakey basketball
teams, which have staged several
very interesting games at Union hall
during the past several weeks, will
meet again tomorrow night, with
practically the same lineups as ap
peared in the last public game. It
had been intended to play the game
on Sunday afternoon, but it has
been found necessary to advance
the date because of the inability of
some of the players to be on hand
Sunday.
The game will start promptly at
8:30 and an exciting contest is
promised.

SPITZBERGEN COAL
MAY HIOVE ASSET
CHRISTIANIA. — Coal fields are
Coal fields are the most valuable
assets oi Spit/.bergen for which the
supreme council at Paris r.as given
Norway sovereignty. It is estimated
here that if these fields are develop
ed they will provide coal enough to
supply Northern Norway nod the
Northern district of Russia.
Spitzbergen coal is said to be the
best grade of hard coal. Mining for
ore at present is not much beyond
the experimental stage in Spitz
bergen. The fishing about the is
lands is very poor.
Norwegian expeditions have done
much exploration work and the larg
est coal fields have been acquired
by the Norwegian mining companies.
