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
1 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 Jur, 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

PRETTY SOFT"
NEW YORK.—An increase of 25
percent in burglary insurance rates
which has just been put into effect
has brought to light the facf that
employers, made timid by the short
age of domestic workers, are toler
ating thefts from their wardrobes
and wine cellars in order to retain
the few servants they have “in cap
tivity.” Officials of indemnity com
panies who give this explanation de
clare that in many cases employers
have refused to allow the servants
in their households to be questioned
about thefts, through fear that they
will quit if annoyed.
Emnoidened by this situation, dis
honest servants are reported to be
helping themselves to their employ
ers' effects, such as wine, clothing,
and jewelry.
“Sen-ants are privileged charac
ters in the homes of the wealthy
throughout New York,” said the
head of one surety company. “In
many cases holders of burglary in
surance policies have canceled their
claims against the company rather
than to prosecute a guilty servant,
knowing that this would mean the
loss of his or her services.”
One New York lawyer recently
refused to allow his sen-ants to be
questioned regarding a SI.000 theft,
saying: “Don’t go near the house.
If the maids suspect you, they will
leave.”
One investigator reported a case
in which a young servant girl had.
in two weeks, disposed of eight cases
of champagne and eight cases of
whisky Ky holding wine parties in
the kitchen for her friends and en
tertaining them with choice liquors
from her employer’s private stock.
Although the owner knew he could
not replace the missing beverages,
he refused to prosecute.

Major J. C. Grant, the new mayor
|of Wrangell, took his seat just in
time to butt into the town row
over the quarantine situation. The
woman physician from the Outside
who recently settled there refused
to abide by the decisions of the
health officer, and when he recently
said a disease was communicable,
the female physician said it was not.
To settle the squabble, the mayor
and council sent to Petersburg for
a doctor, who diagnosed the case as
communicable and the quarantine
was re-established.
The Pioneer auto fund, started
by the Alaska Daily Capital for the
purpose of securing an auto for the
Pioneers at Sitka, is meeting with
moderate success. More than $150
has been subscribed by Juneau Pio
neers, with other towns to hear
from.

office sold 500,000 board feet of
saw timber. 20 cords of wood, 285,
977 linear feet of piling, and 8,000
railroad ties, the stumpage value of
which totaled $2,924.85. This ma
terial was covered by 14 separate
timber sale agreements, all of which
were issued in the Prince William
Sound district. Since the beginning
of the fiscal year (July 1 >, 88 sales
have been made, covering the equiv
alent of 5,000.000 boaril feet of
t.inber, with a stumpage value of
$8,685.80. During the same period

board feet.
Constables Campbell anti Brooker
of the Canadian mounted police re
cently returned to Dawson from Ft.
McPherson. They report a poor fur
catch in the Mackenzie district, with
the exception of mink and musk
rate. The price paid at the post is
§15 in trade for mink and $1.50
for rats. More than sixty traders’
licenses have been issued. The old
Hudson Bay company holds 40
licenses, but this season it is being
{riven a hard run by the new firm
of Lamson & Hubbard, which, in
order to {ret a foothold, is holding
down prices to the minimum and
paying stififer prices for fur.
The light plant at Petersburg has
shut down on Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Saturdays from 8 a. m. to 4
• p. m.. on account of a shortage
of fuel for the motors.
Dr. E. E. Beckett, a former Yu
kon resident during the boom days,
died in Seattle recently.
While the epidemic was on it
Whitehorse, all Dawson passenger?
on the trains arriving in the city
from the coast were placed in strict
quarantine for five days, which
caused a great protest to arise from
those incarcerated.
