The Nenana district offers oppor
tunities for prospecting, fanning, 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 newT 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.

resources and possibilities of the Ne

TALKS OF ROADS
That with the completion of the
government railroad and the road
work now being done by the Alaska
Road Commission tributary to the
railroad. Interior Alaska, hetweeu
Seward and Anchorage ' and beyond
Fairbanks will be habitable country,
provided with means of transporta
tion and communication which hith
erto has held the region from the
development it deserved, is the opin
ion of Col. James Gordon Steese,
Chairman of the Alaska Road Com
mission, who recently returned to
his headquarters at Juneau from a
visit to the various districts where
road work is in progress or contem
plated.
“With the exception of bridges
across the Susitna. Mile 264, the
Xenana. Mile 370. the Tanana and
Mile 411, steel is laid on the Govern
ment railroad from Seward. Mile 1,
to Mile 255, beyond Dead Horse,
and Mile 267, and south of Healey’s
Fairbanks, Mile 471.” said Col.
Steese
Col. Steese has made extensives
observations regarding the work a
long the railroad, incident to its
connection with the work being per
formed by the Alaska Road com
mission.
"The Susitna bridge has arrived
at Anchorage and is being erected.
Its completion will permit steel to
be laid to Indian river," he said,
"and the steel is on hand for this
construction. The gap between ends
of steel, remaining this winter, will
be about 90 miles. Present plans
contemplate closing this gap by
1921. The Xenana and Tanana
bridges have been located and de
signed. I understand all the ma
terial to be prepared for erection
has been ordered, but cannot be
delivered until next year. Consid
erable grading is being done north
of Indian river.
“The old Alaska Northern, Mile 1
to Mile 71. inclusive, purchased by
the Government, has been complete
ly rehabilitated and is now a fine
piece of track, in striking contrast
to its condition when I last trav
eled over it in 1913. Many of the
old trestles are still standing in

various stapes of dilapidation. The
trestle spiral and loop at Mile 54
was completed the day I returned
over the line, but operations on the
temporary switchback will continue
for several weeks.
“Operations on the railroad in the
Southern division include a passen
ger train with parlor observation
car and buffet, three times weekly,
between Seward and Anchorape,
Mile 114, and twice a week between
Anchorape and Talkeetna, Mile 227.
Passenpers are also carried on
freipht trains. An irregular service
is provided between Matanuska
Junction, Mile 151, and Chickaloon,
a distance of 38 miles.
“In the Northern division, passen
per trains run twice weekly be
tween Nenana and Fairbanks, and
a pascar provides service on alter
nate days. A daily ferry connects
Nenana with North Nenana, and an
irrepular rail service connects Ne
nana with Healy, Mile 358.
“Construction throughout ts first
class and up to the best modern
practice. The Nenana. Tanana and
Susitna river bridpes are all major
structures costing between one and
two million dollars. Rates on the
railroad are about 6 hi cents a mile
for passengers, with 1 hi cents per
mile for chair car accommodations.
“Practically all the road work in
the Fairbanks district is directly
tributary to the railroad. The prin
cipal work in this connection is the
new Kantishna project, with which
we hope eventually to provide a
route from the new railroad in the
vicinity of Lignite or Dry creek, 70
miles across country into the Kan
tishna development on Eureka
creek, and other creeks trilnttary to
the upper Kantishna, and from there
down to the old post of Roosevelt,
the head of navigation on the Kan
tishna river.
"In the Southern division, we have
projects directly contributory to the
railroad on the Kenai peninsula, lo
cal roads connecting Anchorage with
the farms in that district, similar
roads tributary to the Matanuska,
connecting Matanuska, Wasilla and
Palmer with the farming lands on
the eastern side of the Matanuska
river, but more especially with the
important Willow Creek mining dis
trict. and our new Taikeetna-Cache
Creek project, on which we spent
$75,000 this year. We hope eventu
ally to continue this project until it
reaches the development in the Kus
kokwim territory.
“Two minor projects on which
only reconnaisanee work will be done
in the immediate future arc the
roads from Talkeetna to the promis
ing district on Iron creek and the
road from Broad pass to Valdez
■creek.”
