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.
Detailed information regarding the
resources and possibilities of the Ne
nana district may be obtained from the
Nenana
Commercial
Club
That the new Happy trail, which
was opened up this winter by the
Alaska Road commission, at the re
quest of the Nenana Commercial
club, is benefiting Nenana is indi
cated by the increasing volume of
business that is coming1 from that
district. The new trail materially
shortens the distance from Brooks
to the nearest supply point and
has been the means of diverting
practically all of the Tolovana trav
el to the Government railroad, with
which the trail connects at Dun
bar’s.
j Two teams came to Nenana this
jweek from the Tolovana district for
supplies, and started on the return
trip this morning loaded with an
outfit representing an expenditure
of approximately $3,500. The pur
chase was made by Lee Murray,
prominent Brooks merchant, who
was in Nenana a short time ago
and placed the order with Fowler *v*
Morris. The teams are in charge
of Charles Donough and “Cow”
Miller.
Smaller outfits are shipped to
Dunbar’s from Nenana on nearly
every train, for delivery in the To
lovana district, but the Murray or
der is the largest placed thus far
and indicates an increasing desire
on the part of Tolovanaites to deal
with Nenana merchants.
! Nenana merchants also are sup
plying a large volume of trade that
comes from the Kantishn and from
1 points up and down the river, and
the opinion is now general that Ne
nana will be the supply point for
iall of the Interior country when the
Government railroad is completed
to the coast.
