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 cm 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
II
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
nana district may be obtained from the

According to a letter received re- ir
:ntly from the Iditarod district by m
rs. Charles Stanford, of Nenana,
le Yukon Gold company is pulling cl
p stakes there and will ship its ti
redge out of the country during a
le coming summer. “I have re- b
?ived word from the Y. G. com
my,” the writer of the letter a
ates, “that Tobe Perry is on his tl
ay in to dismantle the dredge and o
le Iditarod power plant and get a
ready for shipment. This does
ot look much as if they were going n
) do much more mining here as a n
reat many local people have been a
wing to make themselves believe.” c
The writer of the letter evidently t
as not aware of the fact that j
erry had died at Cordova, on his c
ay inside, and that Bert Ogburn, j
lining engineer for the Yukon Gold
ompany at Dawson, had been de- i
ailed to superintend the work pre- *
iously assigned to Perry. Ogburn £
Iready is enroute to the Iditarod £
nd expects to spend two or three (
nonths there getting the machinery
eady for shipment.
The letter states further that
leorge M. Arbuckle, pioneer pub
isher of the Iditarod district, “is
>ut here at Flat in a very bad coa
lition. He has been sick for more
;han two months and the doctor
ioes not give any hopes of his re
:overy. Do not know just what is
:he matter with him, but the doctor
says it is a general breakdown of
the whole system. I think he calls
it that because he does not know
what else to call it, and he has to
call it something. Anyway, Mr.
Arbuckle is very low, and unless
there is a change for the better
soon, I fear for the worst. We
have hopes that he may last until
the boats run, so we may get him
Outside. But he will have to get
better than he is now or he cannot
go anywhere.”
The sick man is being cared for
by Mrs. Joe McDowell.
