The Xenana district offers oppor
tunities for prospecting, farming, and
trapping that are unequaled in any
other section of Alaska.
G9M placers of known value, close
to Nenana, are producing annually sub
stantial amounts, and there are scores
of streams within the district on which
Kttle or no prospecting has been done.
These streams, until a short time ago
almost inaccessible, are now easily
reached by means of die new Govern
ment Railroad, and undoubtedly soon
will be the scene of much mining ac
tivity.
Fanning in the Nenana dfctrict 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

CHRISTMAS (US
DELAYED ENDUE
) According to telegraphic advices
received from Seattle this week, the
Brower stage line, or the steamship
companies operating between Cor
dova and Puget sound, or both, made
a miserable mess of carrying Interi
or Alaska Christmas packages to
the States. The outgoing service
during the month of December was
worse, if possible, than the service
northward, and is occasioning much
complaint.
The advices state that six ship
ments of mail which were despatch
ed from Fairbanks on six different
stages, reached Seattle on one boat,
arriving there on January 5." The
dates of departure from Fairbanks
were December 6. 8, 10, 13, 15, 17.
i Considerable improvement in the
Northbound service was promised
recently by the mail clerk at Cor
dova, who announced that parcel
post would begin going forward
about the first of the year, indicat
ing that the congestion of other
glasses of mail at Cordova had been
relieved. And it is possible that
; shipments have been made from the
coast, but something is wrong en
route, since little of the accumula
tion of the early winter is reaching
. its destination. This is particularly
true in the case of magazines, few
,oi which have reached Interior Al
aska subscribers thus far this win
ter.

The Russell home was the scene
last night of a jolly farewell party
which was given in honor of Frank
lin J. Rogers, former employe of
the Alaskan Engineering commis
sion, who left for the coast this
morning to have a look at the Port
land Canal district, where there is
promise of a boom of considerable
proportions during the early spring.
Those present at the gathering
were: Mr. and Mrs. Ike P. Taylor,
Mrs. J. J. Kestly, Mr. and Mrs. N'or
vin Smith, Misses Ruth Moir. Con
stance Peterson, Dorothy de la Pole,
Leota Scott, Queenie and Alta Rus
sell, Messrs. M. C. Edmunds, Roy
Harshberger, Kenneth Finlayson.
Leon Shoemaker, R. B. Eames, Leith
Russell, and the euest of honor.
Mr. Rogers has been in the North
a long time. He went to Dawson in
the early days, and after a resi
dence of several years in the Klon
dike country, crossed to the Ameri
can side, locating in Fairbanks. He
came to Nenana about two years
ago to enter the employ of the
Alaskan Engineering commission,
and during the construction of the
Nenana-Fairbanks branch line was
in charge of one of the dinkey en
gines.
Mr. Rogers wa= an outbound pass
enger on this morning’s train, head
ed for the end of steel, from which
point he will mush over the “hump”
to the coast.

said, would be made known to the
public at a later date.
There was considerable discussion
regarding the mail situation, culmin- j
ating in instructions to the secre
tary to communicate with the Sew
ard and Anchorage chambers of
commerce with a view to uniting on
a plan to make use of the Broad
Pass trail for transporting Interior;
mails next winter. Engineer in
Charge Fred'k D. Erowne, who was
present at the meeting, informed
the members that the gap between
steel next winter probably wouid
not exceed 70 miles.
A communication from a resident
of Gibbon, inquiring about the min
ing 3nd agricultural possibilities of
the N'enana district, was read, and
the secretary was instructed to sup
ply the desired information. It was
shown, during the discussion, that
there is an abundance of good land
in the immediate vicinity of N'enana. •
a number of creeks upon which gold
has been found, and scores of
streams not far distant which offer i
encouragement to prospectors.
