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.
i
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.

resources and possibilities of the Ne
nana district may be obtained from the

SCENIC BEAUTY
OF PASS TRAIL
IS WORTH TRIP
According to George Markus, for
mer local storekeeper in the employ
of the Alaskan Engineering com
mission. who mushed to the coast
several weeks ago by way of the
Broad Pass trail, the scenic beauty
of the Nenana-Talkeetna route
alone is considerable of an induce
ment to travel that way. In a let
ter to Peter Grandison, written
from Juneau, the oldtimer says he
is rather glad he went out by way
of the new route, “as the scenery
alone is worth while.”
It takes nine hours to go from
iTalkeetna to Anchorage, he writes,
and another nine hours to make the
!trip from Anchorage to Seward. He
could distinguish little difference in
;the roadbed, that on this end of
the line being about as smooth as
| the coast end.
j Mr. Markus met Colonel Mears
'and others of the commission staff
at Anchorage, and received very
1 cordial treatment at their hands. In
iJuneau he met a number of old
! timers _of ..the Interior, including
; Survey-or-Gencra! Bob Sommers and
j George Parks, who are keepinp
house in the Governor’s mansior
■ during the absence of the chief ex
ecutive of the Territory. He alsc
'met Captain John Zug, formerly ir
charge of federal road work in th<
Interior, and Jack Hilliard, of th<
! customs service, formerly stationet
at Eagle.
j Juneau, he writes, is quite a largi
place and seems quite prosperous
! And prices charged by the restau
rants in the coast towns visited b;
i
,him are not much different froi
those in the Interior.
I • Markus was detained in Ju
jneau a number of days while wait
ling for parcel post packages t<
i
reach him. They were shipped t
ithe coast by way of the Fairbank
I trail.

I
N'enana is to have a post of the
American Legion, the organization
of ex-service men and men still
in the service who participated in
the late war. At least, that is the
object of a movement which has
been started by Lieutenant R. S.
Donaldson, general storekeeper of
the Alaskan Enpineerinp commis
sion; Major M. E. Smith, chief sur
geon of the local Government hos
pital; Fire Chief Allan A. Johnson,
and others who responded to the
call to the colors.
Nenana was well represented in
the war-time army, and while not
all who went from here to enter
the service have returned, others
from other sections have moved to
this district since the close of the
war, and it is believed a post can
be started here with a very sub
stantial membership. Nearly every
other town in the Territory is al
ready represented in the big organ
ization.
Those responsible for the move
ment have called a meeting for
Thursday night at eight o’clock, in
the Commercial club quarters in the
Union building, and all ex-service
men in the district are urged to
become members of the post to be
formed. The invitation also in
i eludes the members of the local de
. tachment of soldiers who were in
| the service during the time the
| United States was at war.
