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 Mi. McKinley National
Park, and close to Nenana may be
viewed the largest coal ledges in the
world.
Detailed information regarding the
resources and possibilities of the Ne
nana district may be obtained from the
Nenana
Commercial
Club
Frank J. Rogers has been greet
ing a lot of old sourdough friends
,in Hyder and Stewart.
It is expected that extensive op
erations will soon be undertaken at
the Mineral Hill and Lakeview prop
erties. Superintendent A1 Harris is
expected in this month.
Plans are being made by the In
dian Mines, Ltd., to resume devel
opment. This group is one of the
early locations on Salmon river.
A sLx-foot plank walk is to be
built on First street, from Main to
Premier, a distance of 750 feet.
The improvement will open up a
■ considerable area of tidefiats for
i building purposes.

having spent 14 years in the North,
and are pleased with the start Hyder
has made.
i Notices have been posted on the
east bank of Salmon river at the

sites for industrial purposes under

site, and the other, on the north!
side of the street, is taken by W. H.
Campbell for a lumber yard. The
location is such that the landing of
barges and craft of light draft is
feasible at most stages of the tide.
Without being required to make
any particularly strenuous effort or
scour the district in the pursuit of
names. Bob Small and Alex Frazer
have secured the signatures of 25
Pioneers of Alaska to an applica
tion for a charter for an igloo to
be established in Hyder. Most of
the signers carry cards from other
towns and will transfer when a
charter is granted for this place. It
is estimated that by summer a mem
bership of at least 100 can be se
cured, including those in Stewart
who are ready to join.
lem Doggett, who. with F. W.
Petrie, is driving a 200-foot crosscut
tunnel on the Unicorn, came down
Wednesday evening and reports that
the tunnel is already 65 feet under
ground. The two men went up to
the property only about five weeks
ago. Mr. Doggett expected the ar
rival of J. It. McDonald, who, with
New York and San Francisco as
sociates, has the Unicorn bonded,
but the latter did not come up on
the last boat.
This week the Miner has moved
into its new home on the corner
of Indian and Nevada streets and
moving is, Oh, such fun! It is such
fun that if someone should come
along and pungle up a million dol
lars we would be pleased to move
again. During the course of the
moving operations a great many
beautiful sentiments occupy the
mind, such as the following: What

The funeral of John Vachon, who
