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

Clyde Coombs of Cordova is on a
hunt for some department of the
Government which can lease one of
the many small unnamed islands in
the Pacific belonging to Alaska. The
island he wants is about 80 miles
from Kodiak.
He communicated with Washing
ton, D. C., says a recent number ot
the Juneau Empire, and was told to
see the land office' at Juneau. He
visited the land office at Juneau, as
well as the forest office and other
offices of representatives of the Gov
ernment, but it could not be deter
mined definitely whether the island
he wanted to lease was under the
jurisdiction of the forest depart
ment, the fisheries department, or
some other department, and he was
finally advised to go to Seattle and
consult with the head of the United
States fisheries department located
there.
i He wants to lease the island for
fox raising, and he wants assurance
that after it is leased some other
person will not be given a permit to
occupy it after he has spent a small
fortune there on improvements,
j Coombs told about another resi
dent to the westward who leased an
island for fox raising, and later the
forestry department gave some other
person permission to use the timber.
Since the timber was essential to
i
i
I
the industry of fox raising, the fox
farmer, who thought he was in un
disputed possession of the island by
virtue of his contract, upon learning
of his mistake has been “talking
in his sleep” about the multiplicity
of interlocking government bureaus
and their methods of doing business
in Alaska.
j Deputy Marshal Pete McMullen,
chief of the Fairbanks dry squad,
has been transferred to McGrath,
in the Kuskokwim district, and
j started for his lonely station yes
, terday.

' Albert Lundborg, who had a
grading contract on the Fairbanks
branch line last summer, will ar
rive in Nenana on this evening’s
train from the end of steel. He

The Taylor basketball team, which
carried off the honors in the match
played at Union hall two weeks ago,
scored another victory last night,
when the Blakey aggregation was
defeated. 42 to 28. The teams
lined up the same last night as they
did in the previous match and the
playing was fast throughout.
The attendance was not large,
but the enthusiasm was very marked
and the game was thoroughly en
joyed. The attendance was made
up largely of ladies.

Word was brought North a short i
time ago and first published in the
Ketchikan Chronicle that it was
probable that the steamship Jeffer
son would be converted into a
freighter. It was said that the ves
sel had become too slow for the
passenger trade and that she would
make a good freight boat for the
Northern run.
“Conditions in the Portland Canal
district are about as bail as could
be, as far as labor is concerned,
and I certainly would not advise
any man or woman to invest savings
in mining development in that coun
try until labor gets more settled,”
recently declared R. K. Neill, vice
president and general manager of
the Premier Mining company, in
an interview published in the Prince
Rupert News. The statement was
provoked by the late labor trouble
at the Premier mine.
