The Nenana district offers oppor
tunities for prospecting, fanning, 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
nana district may be obtained from the

SUBOUE NATIVES
NEW YORK.—Mustard gas and
machine guns are to be used by
Captain Harry de Windt, an Eng
lish explorer, against the poisoned
arrows of a tribe described as
“white cannibals,” on Tiburon is
land, on the Pacific coast, he an
nounced here. Captain de Windt
said he would leave New York soon
to lead an expedition of six civilians
and three score Mexican soldiers to
the island. Tiburon is said to have
rich deposits of pitchblende, from
which radium is made.
The island is about 40 miles from
Guaymas, Mexico, which, in turn,
is only about 48 hours by rail from
Coronado Beach, Cal. The inhab
itants are said to be descendants
of Dutch, Swedish and German pris
oners who escaped from Mexican
prisons several centuries ago. Of
sixteen persons known to have vis
ited the island in the past few years,
in parties of two and three, only
nine are said to have returned alive,
the others falling victims to the
flaxen-haired, blue-eyed, “white In
dians,” as the Mexican peons call
them.
! “Four miles from the Mexican
coast,” said Mr. de Windt, “Tiburon
is easily accessible. Yaqui Indians,
who live on the mainland, call Ti
buron the ‘Island of Death,’ for the
reason that any person who lands
on it is shot by poisoned darts and
then eaten by the natives. The
cannibals, in addition to bows and
arrows, use an ancient blunderbuss.
They are supposed to number from
500 to 2,000 persons.
“Besides myself, the expedition 1
will lead will consist of Mackenzie
Grieve, the companion of Harrj
Hawker when he fell during his at
tempted transatlantic flight; and ex
pert radium mining engineer; ar
expert copper mining engineer; An
ton Gibbon, nephew of President
Carranza of Mexico, in whose namf
the eonecssion permitting the ex
ploration of the island was issued
a man servant and sixty Mexican
soldiers, asisgned to the party b>
the Mexican government. I imagine
the searchings on the island will
consume about three or foui
months.”
