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 ha«
the advantage of a growing season fully
ten days ledger 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
vieved the largest coal ledges in the
world.

MANY ENJOY BIG
CHURCH BENEFIT; i
The vaudeville entertainment and
moving picture show which was giv
en at the Coliseum theater last
night, under the auspices of the
Catholic ladies of Xenana, for the
benefit of the local Catholic church,
was very largely attended and the
program rendered was greatly en
joyed. As a result of the entertain
ment, the ladies realized a very sub
stantial sum for the church, the
exact amount not yet hating been
determined.
The receipts were swelled consid
erably by the sale of confections
by a number of young ladies during
the entertainment, and by a bean
guessing contest, which is still in
progress at the Terminal, at 25 cents
a guess. The one guessing closest to
| the number of beans in a jar at the
J Terminal will be awarded a dinner
| set. Numbers also were drawn dur
ing the show for the two door
prizes, but only the second prize was
awarded, Mrs. F. D. Browne being
the winner. The holder of the first
prize ticket was not present,
i The ladies in charge of the affair
! desire to express their appreciation
of the assistance given them, by
:those taking part in the program;
bv the Presbyterian Ladies’ aid, in
t
j the donation of a large doll which
was raffled; by Mrs. F. D. Browne,
who assisted the committee in vari
ous ways; by the management of the
Coliseum; by the press of Xenana,
and by those who contributed con
fections and prizes or otherwise as
sisted. The ladies have asked The
News to thank them all.
