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 miniftg 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

OLDT1MER GOES TO SITKA;
ONCE OWNED RICH CLAIM
Among the passengers leaving for
the coast from Fairbanks this week
was Winfield Oler, quite well known
among oldtimers as the original lo
cator of No. 29 Eldorado creek, one
of the richest claims in the Dawson
country. Oler sold the claim for a
paltry sum to Charlie Anderson, not
guessing the value and believing that
he was actually getting the best of
Anderson onthe deal. In fact, Ander
son thought so too and tried to get
his money back.
Anderson afterwards look a fat,
fortune out of the claim, more than
a million of which was mined by the
primitive wood tire method.
The sad part of the tale is that
Oler, who could have been a million
aire, had he worked his claim instead
of selling it for a song, is now quit
ting the Interior, broken in health
and without funds. He is on his way
to the Pioneers home at Sitka.

One Pair Did Not Wear Out!
IT was a scientific expedition composed of three
white men and five Indians.
They tramped clear across I .ahrador, five months of
that heart-breaking going through rough country
that simply means death to footwear.
One man wore Goodrich “Hi-Prcss” and the rest
wore other makes.
And before the traverse was completed every sol
itary boot and shoe had worn out except Goodrich!
The chief of the party (who wore the Goodrich) sent
the shoes into us as proof. You should see them—
the corrugations on the sole are not all worn otf.
There is no doubt of the superior wearing quality
of Goodrich Rubber Hoots and Shoes. It has been
proven rime and again.
Fishermen, laborers, hunters, miners all agree that
the footwear with the Red lane Round the 'Pop
stands supreme for comfort and all around service.
