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 cm 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.

resour-es and possibilities of the Ne
nana district may be obtained from the

MEXICANS WANT
BAN LIFTED ON
bullfighting
MEXICO CITY. — An energetic
effort is being made to restore bull
fighting, which has been in eclipse
since President Carranza in 1915
prohibited such spectacles in the
federal district and officials else
where frowned upon the sport. \
petition asking that the presidential
decree be revoked, signed by more
than one thousand citizens of the
city of Orizaba, is now in the hands
of the chamber of deputies and
action upon it by the lower house
is expected shortly. A similar pe
tition in 1918 failed in its purpose
,by a single vote. Many persons
believe that, with stronger pres
sure brought to bear this year, a
favorable decision will be reached
Indicative of a desire to see how
far they may go without official
interference is the staging of sev
eral exhibitions in Mexico City and
its suburbs within the past few
weeks, while President Carranza was
away on vacation. Advertised as
mere exhibitions in which well
known matadors would “play with
the bull,” they developed into the
real thing and once again the “pe
lados" had cheap meat on Monday,
the poor class of natives always by
custom being given the carcass of
the ball after he is slain.
The newspapers were not inclined
to censure this technical infraction
of law. Instead they devoted col
umns to descriptions of the fights,
comparing them with similar exhibi
tions before the prohibitive decree.
