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.

SOUTH NUMEROUS;
SO ARE OFFICERS
CHARLESTOWN, W. Va.—The
manufacture and sale of moonshine
whisky in the mountains of South
ern West Virginia is claiming the
close attention of W. S. Hallanan,
prohibition commissioner, who with
a large force of deputies continues
10 raid and arrest almost weekly.
There have been times in the
last few weeks when the officers
have met determined resistance, and
already two men—Preston Mullens,
an alleged moonshiner, and John D.
Kennedy, a deputy sheriff have
lost their lives in the campaign.
This fight, the most serious in
recent years, occurred in the Pan
ther Creek section of McDowell
county, on the Virginia border.
Panther Creek, the prohibition au
thorities say, is one of the mo.ii
active moonshininp districts in the
state. There, according to Mr. Hal
lanan, have been gathered some of
the most famous manufacturers of
moonshine from Buchanan county,
Virginia. They know all that is to
be known about the industry, ami
some of them are famed for the
quality of their “corn liquor.” Usu
ally their stills are extremely diffi
cult to locate, but gradually the pro
hibition officers are hunting them
out and destroying them.
There is another kina ot moon
shiner in that section who is giving
the officers much trouble. He makes
his moonshine as quickly as possi
ble. markets it with the least delay,
and then moves his still to some
other place.
The country is mountainous and
rough, with many fertile valleys.
These valleys, the commissioner ha?
discovered, were last year used fo
a large extent for the growing of
sugar cane, the high price of sugar
havinjr driven some of the oldtime
moonshiners to producing what they
needed for domestic and moonshine
purposes.
