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 scent of much mining ac
tivity.
Farming in the Xenana 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 Xenana
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
Xenana 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 Xenana may be
viewed the largest coal ledges in the
world.

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

The excursion train which left
Camp 415 early this afternoon for
the Faimanks end of the line car
ried a considerable number of N'e
nanaites, attracted to the upper town
by reports of elaborate preparations
for the railroad celebration which
will start as soon as the visitors
arrive there. The number of de
partures is estimated at from 25 to
50. practically all of whom will
return on Friday’s train.
The excursion was arranged at
the request of the Fairbanks Eagles,
who will celebrate the completion
of the Nenana->Fairbanks railroad
with a railroad dance tomorrow
i night, to be followed by other fes
tivities arranged by the people of
the upper town, always keen for a
celebration.
The down-bound train brought
about fifteen passengers to Nenana.
