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

BE FAKED EASILY
NEW YORK.—Officials of the In
ternational Association for Personal
identification here, an organization
having for its object the “finger
printing” of every man, woman, and
child in the United States and Can
ada, have started an inquiry into
the charge made by Milton Carlson,
a Los Anpeles handwriting expert,
that finper prints can be forged.
Carlson says he “forged” the
finger prints of a convicted murder
er in New Jersey in human blood
on a butcher knife, making a per
fect thumb impression of a man
3,000 miles away. Experts, it is
said, pronounced it perfect. So far
as known, the Californian is the
first man to announce successful
duplication of finger prints, used
for the past 1,000 years as an in
fallible means of identification.
Forged finger prints are possible
but ineffective, it is said by officials
of the International Association for
Personal Identification. “A crim
inal,” said the secretary of the as
sociation, “would not have one
chance in a million of success in
fastening a crime upon an innocent
person by means of a forged finper
print. Our researches show that in
every case of a reproduced ‘print’
the lines are too palpably false to
deceive a skilled eye. They show
up under a strong magnifying glass
like a rubber stamp or wood en
graving and not like the original
finger lines, which, by reason of
perspiration and oil, are clear and
sharply defined.
, “Handwriting experts may at
tempt to discredit fingerprints be
cause their use detracts from their
business, but the fact remains that
•human seals,’ as the fingerprints
are called, are an unfailing test so
far as identity is concerned. They
have practically superseded the Ber
tillon system in New York state,
but, until the law is changed, the
Bertillon system must be used in

“It is popularly supposed that

in blood. The fact is that you *
leave a fingerprint upon everything *|
you touch. It is quite invisible to •{
the naked eye. The expert, how- J
: ever, will take a bit of powder—a -j
dark powder on a light surface or •{
;a light powder on a dark surface ^
! and will quickly “develop” the *j
i print. The powders used are lamp- *s
black, graphite, cinnabar, red and
mercurous sulphide, and dragon s
blood.
j “Nature has carved on our fingers
these ‘seals,’ and they should be put
to civilian as well as police use.
Undoubtedly they have been the
means of detecting thousands of
criminals. Hundreds of individuals
who come to New York and are
swallowed up in this great city,
their bodies finally landing in the
morgue, might never be buried in
the potter’s field if we had a na
tional fingerprint registry of civ-,,
ilians.”
The New York fingerprint organ
ization officials say that, despite Mr
Carlson’s charge, genuine finger
prints are an invaluable aid to iden
tify victims of tiain wrecks or other
disasters, and for ascertaining the
