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.
5 These streams, until a short time ago
almost inaccessible, are now easily
reached by means of the new Govern
ment Railroad, and undoubtedly soon
wiH 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
j i to homesteaders, and marketing possi
bilities are being expanded steadily. j
Fur-bearing animals of the Nenana
and adjacent districts are noted for the
line 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
nana d'strict may be obtained from the

PICK GOTHAMITES
NEW YORK.—Stock promoters 1
and swindlers who have been driven 1
from 38 states where “blue sky'’ 1
laws exist, are flourishing in New j
York as never before, according to i
Edwin I’. Kilrot, assistant district I
attorney in charge of the investiga- ]
tion of commercial frauds.
Mr. Kilroe charges that most of
|i
the operators are composed of “con-!
fidence men, ex-convicts, racetrack i
touts, gamblers and men of the \
baser sort,” who, as soon as their I
crooked work is made public, move !
to another part of the metropolis]
and resume business under another j
name.
“It is remarkable,” says he, “that
in this state, which is the financial
center of the world, the investing '<
public should be left without pro
tection and that the Dark Age law
of caveat emptor should reign here.” ,
Attacking the majority report of ]
Governor Smith’s Blue Sky Law i
commission as “a prayer to allow!
the predatory Wall Street interests i
to continue their pillage without let
or hindrance,” Mr. Kilroe, in a re-1
port to District Attorney Swann.1
opposes the recommendation to turn
the prosecution of crooked Wall
Street concerns over to four depu- j
ties and the attorney-general of the |
state.
“The recommendation,” he says.'
;”that nothing be done by the pres-;
'ent legislature except the appoint
'ment of a commission to redraft
'the penal law is inexpedient and
would accomplish no good result.
All of the facts a commission so
appointed could possibly obtain are
now in the possession of the dis
trict attorney of New York, as the
result of some 4,000 or 5,000 com
plaints investigated in his office.”
The methods employed by stock
swindlers to fleece the unwary are
explained by Mr. Kilroe. “In the
old days,” he said, “ ‘sucker lists’
were prepared and used by these
j unscrupulous promoters. On these
lists were the names of those known
to be susceptible to the illusionary
offers made by salesmen of worth
less securities. This list has now
ibeen cast aside, and today every
good citizens who happens to be
inexperienced in the world of fin
ance is a possible victim, ^provided
he has a small bank account or
government bonds.
“Schools are established to make
the smooth-tongued salesman more
‘smooth,’ and books of instruction
are prepared so that no one even
[with small savings shall escape their
lure. This office is flooded with
complaints of the shorn and plucked
who daily stream from Wall Street
to the Criminal Courts building. The
victims, in many cases, have lost

“The lure of speculation has, of
ourse, produced a corresponding
'olume of attendant crime, corrup
ion and dishonesty. The increase
n the number and amount of Lib
■rty Bond thefts during the past
even or eight months is a matter
>f great concern in the financial
listrict and in the administration
>f the criminal law.”
Mr. Kilroe advocates as a rem-1
■dy for existing conditions (1) the
fovernment licensing and control of
itoek exchanges; (2) similar licens
ng for stock, bond, and other in
,-estment security dealers: (3) driv-j
ng of the New York Curb market
"rom the streets “as a public nui-;
■ance”; (4) compulsory and com
jlete public record of all security
■ales and purchases within 24 hours;
(5) similar record of collateral de
posited by investors, the amount of
ijroker’s lien, and names and ad
iresses of person or firm with whom
collateral is re-hypothecated; (6)
complete public information con
cerning financial condition, plans,
etc., of concerns before they may
offer stock for sale; (7) a Federal
“Blue Sky Law” which would pre
vent swindlers in other states from
doing business by mail, telegraph
or other interstate means with pros
pective victims in New York.
