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.
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

I
LEAP YEAR DANCE
SUCCESS ASSURED
I As the date of the Leap Year
dance draws near, interest in the i
affair increases steadily, and there
is every reason to believe, at this
time, that the dance will be one of
the most enjoyable ever held in Ne
nana. The dance is also causing
considerable worry — among: those
men who have not yet received in
vitations and among' those ladies
who have not yet decided whom to
invite. But the worry is growing
less daily, and will disappear en
tirely, it is believed, days before
the dance takes place. The ladies
have been very busy the past sev
eral days, issuing their invitations,
and all of them probably will have
secured partners by the end of an
other day or two. Some of the
ladies have invited as many as three
men. There is no limit,
j All of the ladies are requested
to have slips of paper, with their
names written on them, and tied
securely in the corner of a hand
kerchief, ready to hand in at the
hall upon their arrival there on the
I night of the dance. The reason for
this request will be made clear at
'■ the proper time.
j The gentlemen are reminded to
'study up on the rules before the
night of the dance, in order that
‘they may avoid the many breaks
that a gentleman should not make
on such an occasion. They must
| not cross the floor, for instance,
unless escorted by a lady. They’ll
; get theirs if they do. And they
must be escorted to the door also
when leaving the hall. Smokes may
| come high unless this rule is ob
served But there will be no over
' doing it in the way of fining, the
' rules having been made more writh
a view to creating a little amuse
ment and at the same time com
pelling the men to behave them
| selves like ladies.
j It is believed the combined at
i traction of show and dance will
, hring a number of men in from
'various points along the line on the
' night of February 14, and the dance
probably will be more than usually
.well attended on that account.

NEW RAILROAD 10
OPEN 1 MONDAY
The new Railroad Cigar Store and
Barber Shop will open its doors to
he public on Monday, and a cordial
nvitation is extended to Nenana
tes to visit the new place. Fresh
ind bright in its new decorations,
;he Railroad presents a most at
:ractive appearance, and the show
:ases and shelves are filled with
fresh smokers’ supplies, candies,
fresh fruit and the many other
things that go to make up the stock
3f a first-class cigar store and pool
nail.
At the left of the store, as one
enters, are three barber chairs, with
stationary washstands and all the
other appointments of a city barber
shop. These will be presided over
by Billy Thomas, proprietor of the
establishment, John Wahlgren and
Joe Mills, all sourdoughs, too well
known to need introduction. The
cigar store and pool hall end of the
establishment will be looked after
by Lou Isabel, also an oldtimer,
known in practically every camp in
the Interior. v
At the rear of the store are the
bathrooms, entirely closed in and
neatly furnished, with sanitary por
celain tubs and bathroom fixtures.
Also in connection with the new
Railroad are a number of comforta
ble rooms on the second floor, steam
heated and clean as it is possible to
make them. They may be had by
the day or for longer periods if de
sired.
The Railroad building was pur
chased some time ago by Mr. Thom
as, and during the past several
weeks carpenters, interior decora
tors and steam-fitters have been
busy transforming the place, and
the result would do credit to a town
of much greater size than Nenana.
