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
■j I 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
I 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

LOS ANGELES. — Members of
the mining expedition Captain Har
ry de Windt, an English explorer,
says he plans to lead to Tiburon
island, in the Gulf of California,
need not fear “white cannibals" re
ported there, according to Los An
geles residents who have visited
the island.
Persons returning from Tiburon,
however, have given it an unpleas
ant reputation. They have reported
that it is overrun with reptiles and
that the few Indians living there,
while not actively hostile, are sullen
and untrustworthy.
Stories of a strange white tribe,
using poisoned darts and an ancient
blunderbuss to bag occasional visi
tors to provide native feasts, arc
scouted here. Some Los Angeles
residents have reported having seen
natives carrying modern firearms.
TAXI DRIVERS STRIKE
AGAINST REGULATIONS
RIO DE JANEIRO.-—The Chauf
feurs’ union, members of which op
erate more than 1.200 taxicabs,
recently went on strike for one
jweek in protest against traffic regu
lations and low taxicab tariffs.
; Many drivers of privately-owned
cars joined them, and while the
strike was in force the streets seem
i
;ed strangely deserted.
[ The strikers returned to work
after the streetcar employes failed
to join them. The city and federal
authorities refused to investigate the
strikers’ claims while they remained
ion strike.

COOKED HORSE MEAT IS
USED TO FATTEN HOGS
! _
HELENA, Mont.— Cooked horse
meat, mixed with alfalfa and com,
! is being used as foundation for
! swine at a plant near Boulder, ac
cording to Harry Murtha, a horse
' buyer, who recently was in this
city. He also is in the swine busi
: ness. He says horse meat is fed to
the hogs up to within three weeks
jof sending the swine to market,
'when they are fed with corn only.
Murtha believes that the cheap
horse is going off the market in the
: spring and that even old. womout
1 horses, which he has been using as
hog feed, will be difficult to obtain.
| Many farmers who did not have
the feed to carry their stock through
the winter sacrificed the animals
rather than let them starve on the
.range, Murtha said, and in the
jspring they will buy stock again in
order to resume work.

WASHINGTON, D. C.—The ex
traordinary European demand for
tobaeco other than the cigar types
and the immensely increased use of
tobacco for cigarettes during 1919
raised the average farm price of the
composite chewing, smoking, snulT
and exports types to 41 .It cents on
December 1, or greatly above the
price of 21.9 cents for cigar to
bacco, experts of the department of
agriculture state.
The price if cigar types of to
bacco before last year always has
been above that of the other types,
as a whole. Cigar tobacco last year
was lower in price than it was in
either 1918 or 1912, not because
of increase of production, but be
cause of weaker demand. In com
menting on the prices, the depart
ment of agriculture says the cigar
has been overtaken and passed by
the cigarette.
ENGLISH CITY USING

Glasgow, Liverpool anil Birmingham
have all embarked on a similar en
terprise.
