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 distriet 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

ARIZONA PAPER
The greatest mining boom the
country has ever known—the mad
dest rush for gold in history, and
the biggest silver scramble ever wit
nessed by man is coming soon, says
the Oaitman (Arizona) Miner. Age
old supply and demand says so.
Gold and silver are the two things
that are in greatest demand, and of
which there is the smallest relative
supply. Every oldtimer who knows
the mining game and has the facul
ty for remembering what has gone
before, will admit to himself that
some morning we are going to wake
up to a redhot mining boom. It
will come suddenly, as it always has,
but just now the things that accu
mulate to bring it about are slowly,
quietly and surely working out to
wards the eventual excitement.
Brokers, leading mining operators,
bankers and big business men have
their scouts out for likely-looking de
veloped or partly developed mines,
oldtime bonanzas of other days and
promising prospects of today. Ev
ery miner who ever was a miner,
every man who knows how to scout
for mining property, and every fel
low who has his eye on the rich
reward to be had in finding mines is
busy on the job. These men all
know that the world-wide demand
must be filled by someone, and the
ready and high-priced market is beg
ging for gold and silver.
There is a powerful organization
at work preparing to demand legis
lative action placing a special tax
on all new gold. The miners well
know that the public will soon learn
that somebody has got to produce
these metals, and the general public
will want to share in the profits of
the business. When a miner can se
cure capital to develop a prospect,
he is not going to waste any time in
seeking the said prospect.
In the bill which is to be present
ed to Congress it is proposed to
impose a tax of 50 cents per penny
weight of fine gold contained in all
articles which may be sold on and
after May 1, 1920. From this fund
the producer of the new gold ounce
will receive on and after the same
date a $10 premium per ounce to
compensate for the increased cost of
production. The gold miners of
California, hoping that favorable ac
tion will soon be taken on this mea
sure, are now getting ready to open
up a great many of the old'time
bonanza gold mines, and are also
paying big figures for promising
properties in the course of develop
ment.
Gold and silver are wanted every
where, and they will be wanted more
and more every day—there is no
escape. Of course, nothinp is abso
lutely sure—there mipht be an

earthquake or the world might come
to an end; we have even to take
a chance on that. Any sensible
person can readily understand what
!$10 per ounce will mean to such
! mines as the United Eastern and
■Tom Reed at Oatman. From an in
vestment standpoint the stock of
these companies would be immedi
ately worth 50 percent more than;
it is today, not to mention the fact
of adding new life to the mines, by
putting them in position to mine and j
mill ore that they cannot afford to 1
handle at the present time.
■
The careful investors are waking |
up to the gold situation. That was ;
very plain in Los Angeles a few j
days ago, when one of the promi-!
nent Oatman prospects showed prom-J
ise of making a new mine. The way '
i
the stock was snapped up complete- ;
ly surprised the Los Angeles brok- |
ers. People who had never bought
gold stocks were writing checks for
good-sized blocks of stock. The 1
brokers had forgotten that the gold
question has been before the Am
erican people for the past two years.
They have talked about it, read
about it, and wondered when there
would be another gold mine discov
ered, and it is only reasonable to
assume that a great many of these
people have made up their minds.
They are going to be in on the next
new mine if Dossible i
