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, 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.
Detailed information regarding the
resources and possibilities of the Ne
nana district may be obtained from the

SAN FRANCISCO. — The supe;
dreadnaught California, launched i
Mare Island recently, is a veritab!
electric ship.
Besides supplying her drivin
power, electricity is used to hob
the ammunition, rotate the turret
operate the 14-inch guns, steer th
ship, raise and lower the anchoi
pump fresh and salt water, operat
the machinery in the machine shop
carpenter shop, and printing estal
ilishment, supply fresh air for ver
tilation, raise and lower the boat
; operate the refrigeration plant, op
derate the searchlights and radi
‘equipment. In the kitchen, electric
J ty peels the potatoes. washes th
dishes, makes the ice cream, grind
the meat, mixes the dough, cuts th
butter, and in many other way
lightens the labors of the sailo
j lads.
The chief advantage of electri
drive for a battleship is fuel econc
;mv. Fuel economy is far more in
jportant aboard ship than ashor<
inaval officers px>int out, for a shi
| must carry her own fuel, and th
j longer a ship's fuel will last, th
‘greater her radius of action. Th
I greatest saving occurs at the usut
cruising sp>eed of about 15 knot
As compared with the battleship
^driven by turbines directly couple
;to the propellers, it is estimate
;that the California will save, whil
cruising, about 30 percent of he
fuel. This because both the tui
bines and the propellers can rotat
at their best and most economic!
; speed, which, h is contended.

to drive the screws.
Energy to operate the great ba
itleship is taken aboard in the fori

boilers that develop the steam pov
