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.

resources and possibilities of the Ne
nana district may be obtained from the

There is not much unemployment
along the Pacific coast, according to
Henry Capp, oldtimer of Interior
Alaska, who returned to N'enana
several days ago from the Outside.
He was in the States for a couple
of months and spent most of the
time in "San Francisco, visiting his
daughters and sisters and having a
good time generally. He says he
did not look for work while Outside,
but out of curiosity he spent con
siderable time in the working dis
tricts and made a number of visits
to employment agencies, just to get
an insight into real conditions,
j There appeared to be a consider
able number of idle men in the Bay
i City, but they did not seem to be
I looking for work, for jobs of all
i kinds were open at good wages. The
employment agencies, be says, could
■not begin to fill the demands for
; help, although the places were filled
:with people most of the time. It
; looked to Capp as though most of
them had gone there out of curiosi
ty, like himself.
In one large employment office,
he saw the walls plastered with
j cards calling for men for all kinds
jof jobs. And in addition to that
I kind of appeal, employes of the of
| fiee went through the crowd calling
for men to accept jobs which were
i offered. Occasionally one or more
(of the spectators responded, but
1 for the most part there were no
lapplicants.
: The pay offered for common la
ibor, Capp says, ranged from $4.50
; to $5 per day, and that for me
jehanics $7. to $7.50. Muckers and
drillers were offered $6 a day, and
|he saw appeals for dishwashers at
!$5 a day.
i Many of the idle men Capp saw
!in San Francisco were out on strike,
: several thousand having walked out
during the time that he was there.
(And he was told that strikes were
•the order of the day, one or more
| branches of labor being out about
'all the time.
i Capp saw former Master Mechan
ic Muir in San Francisco and was
told that he had just accepted a
| $400 a month position with the
Standard Oil companv. Muir de
i
;nied the report that he had accepted
a railroad job in China, and said
he had not been and did not con
template going there.
! The Van Orsdels were met in Se- :
i ;
jattle and he was informed that Van ;
and Billy Taylor would return to (
•Alaska this month, to begin work
!in the Kantishna. The Van Orsdels j
(informed him that they had been :
very successful in disposing of the.
; stock in their Kantishna mining
! company and expected to have am-1
• pie funds to carry out their plans, j

Jim Dethlefsen, former Nenam
[night watchman, who lost both hands
j as a result of freezing on thi
i night of the Cramer fire severa'
^years ago, was met in San Fran
| cisco. He had a small cigar and
stationery stand for some time aftei
reaching the Outside, but now ha>
a good job in the customs service,
with headquarters on one of the
islands near San Francisco.
There was quite an oil stampede
in progress when Capp reached the
Alaska coast, the objective of the
stampeders being Coal bay.
The steamer on which he made
the voyage to Seward brought quite
a number of passengers for that
section, including many former em
ployes of the Alaskan Engineering
commission who were coming back
for the summer. The number also
included about twenty foreigners
who were shipped from Seattle C.
O D. by the commission.
Capp came in by way of Broad
Pass, traveling in company with C.
D Smith, a locomotive engineer.
They had a team of seven dogs, and
made the trip without difficulty.

The bail of Chinnyah, of Fort
Yukon, indicted on a statutory
charge, was declared forfeited yes
terday by Judge Bunnell, as the re
sult of the failure of the defendant
to make his appearance. The bail,
in the sum of $2,000. was furnished
by T. A. Bowman of Fort Yukon.
Chinnyah is supposed to be some
where in the Fort Yukon district at
the present time.
A Brower stage is scheduled to
leave Fairbanks for the coast to
morrow with several passengers for
the States, including Mrs. Durwood
Hooker, Otto Amhrosius, Miss Web
er of Xenana, and Private Kinlock,
who is going to Valdez for dis
charge.
The taking of testimony in the
John Bylose ease, in the district
court at Fairbanks, began this morn
ing with the aid of an interpreter.
The case began yesterday afternoon,
but it was not until this morning
that a jury had been selected. It is
generally believed the Government
has a strong case.
Ike P. Taylor went out the line
on business this morning.
