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

HE
WILL HAVE MILL
I
A 100-ton mill is being installed!
on the Premier mine, says a recent
report from the Portland Canal dis
trict. This will be the first unit of
a much larger plant. The low
grade ores will be concentrated at
the mill. This will mean shipment
of concentrates as well as high
• i
grade ore from this wonderful mine.
Boyle Brothers of Spokane are dia
mond drilling this property, L. Jen
son being the superintendent.
The diamond drills belonging to
Lynch Brothers of Seattle have been
taken out to the Northern Light and
Spider groups, which are being
opened up by the Algonican syndi
cate of Belgium.
Extensive diamond drilling will
be carried on at the Big Missouri
this summer, contracts for 12,000
feet of hole having been let.
Work is to be started immediate
ly on the Verde group, six miles
from Hyder. This property was re
cently bonded from Lou Watkins
for an attractive price.
Work is progressing on the tun
nel in the New Alaska mine, and
some splendid ore has been found.
This property is on the American
side, near mile 11.
Antone Eide and C. W. Cheatham
I
were visitors in Hyder recently,
making preparations for the com
mencement of work on the road
through Premier avenue to the mine
on the American side at mille 11. A
bridge across Salmon river, be
tween miles 8 and 11, will also be
built this summer by the Alaska
Road commission.
! Geo^ere Frizzell’s cold storage
plant has arrived and the meat mar
ket is practically completed. This
is one of the finest buildings in
Hyder.
I The Hyder Lumber company’s
.sawmill is now running full blast.
The building for the Marks res
taurant. owned by Mrs. Campbell, is
now ready for the painters.
| Mike Lipovatz and H. Belyin are
putting up a three-story building,
29x40 feet, on International avenue.
I J. A. Hall, townsite owner and
president of the bank, arrived in
Hyder recently to make arrange
ments to open the bank.
Hyder polled 82 votes at the re
cent election, and had the weather
been fine, another 20 at least would
have attended the polls.

GREAT AREA IN
HAWAII COVERED
BY LAVA FLOW
_ i
HILO, T. H.—Millions of tons of
lava, which have been pouring from
the great volcano of Kilauea during
the past three months, have buried
approximately 25 square miles of
country under a coating averaging
100 feet in thickness. The great
(lows, streaming in every direction
from their source in the old rift of
1868, still are moving slowly for
ward and at one point are within
two jniles of the sea. and twelve
miles from the fountain head.
The glittering floods of crimson
lava are coming from the southern
flank of kilauea. What was former
ly a quiet expanse of sandy waste,
dotted with green oases, now is a
smoking tract of run and desolation.
A few charred fragments mark the
sites of former forests buried deep
beneath the torrents of molten stone
ejected by the volcano.
Trained observers who have
watched Kilauea for many years say
that it is extremely difficult to find
their way about or pick out the old
landmarks. Where, in former days,
stretched the level sandy plain, plen
tifully sprinkled with olivines and
volcanic rock, now there rises a
lava dome three miles in length ar.d
upwards of two hundred feet in
height.
Welling from an earthquake rifi,
flows have piled on top of flows, the
crest creased by hot, cherry-red
cracks, some of which emit gas
flames. At the summit of the dome
is a large lake of lava, nearly half
a mile in length, having an average
breadth of 300 yards. From the
surface of the lake lava fountains
are continually playing.
Evidences of tremendous destruc
tion are to be found in the section
where the lower forests used to
stand. Tall ohia trees, now charred
wrecks, but in some cases still burn
ing, rise forlornly amid the general
desolation.
In one place there is to be seen
the remnant of a heavy stone wall,
which, before the last flows started,
marked the boundary of the Kapa
pala ranch. The moving lava surg
ed against the wall, pushed it over
and buried the greater length of it
under thr* molten flood.
The stretch of country across
which the present lava streams are
moving is a mass of un.der-the-sur
iface tubes and tunnels f >rmed by old
i
| flows, mostly in the great eruption
:of 1808. The piesent molten rivers,
[running tbrouen these and < ntering ,
i sealed caverns, are continually blow
j ing up the cavern roofs with loud
