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 ail 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

SLIDE IS FATAL i
TO WORKERS ON
COAST DIVISION
Three employes of the Alaskan
Engineering commission were killed
and seven more or less seriously in
jured on April 28, as the result of
a snowslide which occurred on
Tumagain arm, near Mile 76, sweep- ;
ing down the mountain, 100 feet
wide, onto a party of some 100 men
who were engaged in removing a
slide which had blockaded the Gov
ernment railroad previously. The
bodies of the dead men were re
covered from Turnagain arm some
time later and the injured were
rushed to the hospital at Anchor
! I
age.
j Shortly after the disaster, Assist
I
ant Chief Engineer William Gerig
made the following explanation,
which appeared in the Anchorage
Times:
| “The slide occurred at 3:30, just
north of the snowshed at Mile 76.
Men were working in conjunction
i
,writh the big Government rotary and
'crew clearing away the slide which
occurred Monday.
“In order to prevent disaster a
reliable man was placed as lookout
to warn the workmen of further
slides which were likely at any time
on account of the warm weather.
The men were scattered at various
| places while performing work. The
lookout, seeing the fatal slide com
ing, gave the signal agreed upon
and many of the workers easily
escaped. A gang of about fifteen
■working apart either misunderstood
the signal or became excited and
! deliberately ran into the slide. It
is understood that if the men had
! run the other way, or even stood
'still, they w'ould have escaped. The
tools with which they were working
| vs’ere later discovered untouched by
the slide. The slide is estimated to
i he over 600 feet long and 20 to 40
feet deep. As large a force of men
jas can be worked to advantage will
be used to clear the track for re
sumption of traffic, but it will bo
at least four days before the ob
struction can be removed. In the
meantime, all trains have been an
nulled.
“As there is still grave danger of
additional slides, the men will not
(he allowed to work on the slide ex
cept when there is absolutely no
further danger. Work will be con
i
I fined between the hours of 2 and 8
a. m., at the time the snow is soli !
and work can be carried on free
from danger."
| Those who lost their lives in the
^ slide were: Pete Kgelzian, John Uu
j deen, and K. Romero, the last named
, being one of the recently imported
J foreign laborers. Those who re
.reived injuries were: John McMa
hon, L. Flynn, C. C. Kennison, L
J. Stark, John B. Jackson, Alex

have just fought with bolos the
first due! in Manila since the be
ginning of the American occupa
tion. One of them suffered the
loss of his left hand in the fight.

linawan met with seconds and
friends in a vacant lot near the cen
ter of the city just before dusk,
to settle their feud with the favor
ite native weapon. Umali forced
the fight and soon landed a blow

hand. Paglinawan fought on and
Umali. despite his victory, took to
his heels, but was caught by a po

pital, where he has since been in r.
critical condition. As there is no
law against duelling in the Philip
pines, Umali will be prosecuted on
a minor charge.
