ATTENTION, PROSPECTORS!
Prospectors from the Kantishna
and other outlying districts, who
may happen to be in Nenana on
January 11th, are invited to attend
the Commercial Club Smoker on
that evening.
Mining matters and other affairs
of general interest are to be dis
cussed; especially the question of
roads into the mining districts; and
the advice of those who are fami
liar with the exact conditions is
solicited.
Were it known just who might
be in town at the time, direct per
sonal invitations would be given;
but as this may be impossible it is
hoped that such visitors will come
and give the club the benefit of
their knowledge.
In this regard Mr. W. J. Julian
is master of ceremonies, and any
additional details desired by such
visitors may be obtained from him.
