ITenana. Where Balls and Rtvere Meet
Prospectors

Tourists
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.

resources and possibilities of the Ne
nana district may be obtained from the

“Alaska, the Land of icebergs and
polar bears" myth is in a fair way
to pet a death-blow, if the plan of
the McMillan company, book pub
lishers of New York, is carried out
as it has been conceived and im
parted to the Alaska Bureau of
Publicity. For years, says the Ju
neau Empire, there has been an im
; pression prevalent widespread thru
out the States that only Indians and
ice-worms thrive in the Alaskan cli
mate; the fat of the seal, Alaska’s
only animal product; whale-blubber
its only source of light other than
the midnight summer sun and the
winter northern lights,
i Much of the responsibility for
such belief has been found in the
textual matter contained in school
geographies and other textbooks
dealing with the North. Little was
found therein, and most of that er
roneous and injurious to the coun
try.
The McMillan company is prepar
ing a new school geography in which
it is seeking to publish accurate
facts about Alaska. The idea was
conceived by Phil A. Knowlton, for
merly principal of the Fairbanks
school and now in the New York
offices of the above named publish
ing company. In a recent letter to
.Territorial Director of Publicity E.
J. White. Mr. Knowlton, speaking
for the company, outlines his plan
'and asks Mr. White’s co-operation.
Among other things wanted by
! the publishers are a number of pho
nographs of scenes depicting various
I Alaskan industries, mining, fishing,
;agriculture, and, in fact, everything
| normally Alaskan, rather than a
i portrayal of the abnormal side of
| Alaskan conditions. Mr. White is
| asked to furnish the following pho
jtographs, some of which already have
I been secured, and arrangements are
being made for the remainder of
ithe list:
1. Herd of reindeer.
2. Seals on rock on shore.
3. Street scene in Fairbanks.
4. Placer mine.
| 5. An actual view of the Govern
: ment railway where it is in opera -
: tion.
J 6. A salmon cannery, interior or
| exterior view.
7. Boats on the Yukon.
8. A view of farming or farms.
Mr. White also received a com
jmunication from F. E. Compton &
■ Co., publishers, of Chicago, request
j ing his co-operation in securing a
, number of photographs showing
I graphically the industrial develop
;ment of Alaska. In complying with
! both requests, he desires to secure
i data and photographs from all sec
tions of the Territory.

—
An item of more than passing
importance was the arrival recently
at Wrangell of a party of returned
overseas Canadian service men, en
route to the Cassiar to develop a
mining property near Dease lake.
Fifteen other service men who be
long to this party were expected
on a later boat, according to the
Wrangell Sentinel. These men are
being lofifed enough money by the
Canadian government to stake them
for two years. They will work on
their claims as long as the weather
will permit, and will then engage in
trapping for the winter.
In addition to financial assistance,
the government is also backing these
men by making their claims exempt
for a term of years. The provincial
government of British Columbia has
appropriated $250,000 for the pur
pose of aiding returned service men
in developing the mineral resources
of the province. It is understood
that more than two-thirds of this
amount will be spent in Northern
British Columbia, which includes the
Cassiar. This appropriation is be
leved to be only a starter, as it is
practically certain that if results
come from the efforts of this first
party other appropriations will be
forthcoming.
