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
readied 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.

SEOUL, Korea. — Prince Euiwha
of Korea, who recently was arrested
by the Japanese as he was crossing
the Manchurian border, did not at
tempt to escape from Korea, but
was kidnaped by Korean revolution
ists, who were taking him to Shang
hai, according to the Japanese of
ficial version of the incident.
. i
The prince, who formerly was re
ported to be engaged to an Ameri
can girl, has since his capture been
confined to his palace at Seoul while
the government deliberates upon the
I steps to be taken against him. It
,was at first believed that he had
.attempted to escape.
[ The story reads like a court con
spiracy of medieval Korea or China.
;The prince had been closely watched
by the Japanese, who suspected him
'of favoring Korean independence.
jThe Japanese say that he was lured
'to an empty house by members of
a secret organization known as the
| Dai Tong Dna. There he was con
i fronted by ten armed Koreans, who
I compelled him to start for Shanghai
5 with them. The leader of the band
I of kidnapers, the Japanese say, was
iZen Kyo, a well-known independ
! ence leader.
I The prince was kept secluded for
isome time in the mountains around
Seoul, and then was taken on board
ja train for the Manchurian border,
i On the way he was arrested with
(14 other Koreans alleged to have
jbeen participants in the conspiracy.

PITTSBURGH.—Spouting natural
ras at the rate of almost 10,000,000
rubic feet a day, the Snake Hollow
field, which is not yet five months
old, already has made a large num
ber of persons comfortably rich,
while some thousands of others are
anxiously awaiting the outcome of
their subterranean gamble in more ,
than 200 wells where the drills are '
kept going day and night.
The development, which became
apparent when a strong flow of gas
blew the top off a derrick on Sep
tember 28 last, covers no more than
100 acres of town lots in the out
skirts of the thriving little city of
McKeesport, 16 miles from Pitts
burgh. Efforts are being made by
important oil and gas interests to
extend the field. If these test wells,
now being drilled, come in gushers,
an important addition to the gas
producing territory of Allegheny
county will have been found. If
they are “dusters,” geologists say.
it will not be long until Snake Hoi-1
low will be a thing of the past,
and dreams of wealth be nothing
more than memory.
Rock pressure, the measure of
natural gas at the well, was 1,600
pounds to the square inch when the
first well came in. This pressure,;
experts say, has now been reduced
to 600 pounds, indicating that al-'
ready the field is beginning to de
cline. However, there are some 20
good wells in the field, and every
well which reaches the Speechley
sand, where the gas is found, comes
in a gusher good for 5,000,000 to
f 10,000,000 cubic feet. This cannot:
last, for the wells are drilled so
close together that the pool will be
exhausted very soon unless it is
found to extend over a much wider
area than that now producing.
But while it lasts Snake Hollow
is taking on all the features of a
boom district where fortunes are
1 made over night. Steel hillside lots
which six months ago could have
been bought for a song have sold
• for $10,000, and leases, covering
' spaces not big enough to hold a
• drilling equipment, have brought
I half that sum. Churches have leased
their back yards, and schools have
given over their playgrounds to the
drillers for a consideration; in one
- instance the township board of edu
cation leased a school property, get
^ ting $5,000 down and 50 percent of
what the drill might find. The
- lease of an amusement park was
1 sold for $160,000. A year ago the
5 land, surface and all that might be
5 under it, could have been bought for
n $300 an acre.
a . The amount of money already in
• vested in the field is placed by
" bankers at $20,000,00. This is due
to the high cost of everything, from
1 drilling, which reaches about $20,000
a well, to commissions of stock sales
men who are handling the securities
of the 170 companies now in the
market. The most profitable con
