Tourists
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 dose 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

| Lack of fish buyers on the troll
ing grounds at Cape Ommaney this
spring has forced the trollers to
make arrangements to ship their
■fish direct to the Southern markets
, through the Petersburg Co-operative
i association.
A delegation of four trollers re
cently arrived at Petersburg from
ithe cape and at once took up the
question of marketing fish with the
; directors of the Co-operative. The
| delegation consisted of L. A. Olin,
J. N. Wahl, Alfred Cramer, and
I Peter Lee. These men reported that
| since the trollers arrived on the
ground only one local buyer had
; appeared, and that he will be un-1
able to handle the fish offered in
j sufficient quantities when the run,
j starts in good shape.
As a result, the trollers spread
ithe word among the different camps!
at the cape and a meeting was held
at Patterson Bay, at which between j
. 30 and 40 men were present.
: After discussing the proposition:
[from all angles, the four men were:
j elected to come to Petersburg to j
make arrangements for handling the
fish. A contract has been made
with the Co-operative to ship the
^fish to the markets for the fisher
! men. The Co-operative in turn has
signed a contract with the Alaska
Fish & Cold Storage company at
iScow bay to furnish ice, boxes,
i docking facilities, etc., for handling
the fish after they arrive here. Un
:der the arrangement, says the Pe
tersburg Report, the fishermen will
ship their fish direct, 'through the
local organization, the returns being
paid direct to the fishermen after
they are received at Petersburg.
VETERAN ESKIMO DIES;
OLDEST IN THE NORTH
An Eskimo who is believed to
have lived close to 120 years re
cently died at Wainwright, accord
i ing to a statement contained in a
| letter to Jake Kristan of Nome,
! written by Henry Bloomfield, who is '■
1 in charge of a trading station ati
Point Barrow.
The letter tells the story of the I
jancient Eskimo as follows:
I “At Wainwright a couple of J
1 months ago the oldest Eskimo in the j
country passed away from heart dis- j
ease. He was figured as being
around 120 years old.
“The oldest man now living at
Wainwright is over 80 years old. :
Yet when this old man was a boy, 1
i the old fellow who died was even
| :
jthen an old man.
“His name was ‘Ping-ger-sug-er
ook.’ He is said to have had five
wives and raised five families, but
outlived them all.”
