Tile 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 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

VIENNA OFFICIAL
REPORTS DEFICIT
IN CASH OF CITY
VIENNA. — Mayor Reumann has
just disclosed to the Vienna city
council a loss to the city of 13,000,
000 crowns through a business ven
ture undertaken by a former coun
cil headed by Mayor Weisskirchner.
On the beginning of the war. Mayor
Weisskirchner organized a commit
tee to collect public subscriptions
for the relief of soldiers and their
dependents. It is charged that
Weisskirchner advanced huge sums
' •from this fund, as well as city mon
keys, to Hans Hafner, who under
took to exploit several schemes for
the benefit of Vienna. Among Haf
! ner's ventures was the operation of
|a large plant for the production of
artificial milk and a factory to man
ufacture footwear from patented ar
tificial leather. A building was
erected for the milk process scheme,
but it was never put in operation,
| while the shoe factory proved a
dead loss.
To cover its losses, it is charged
that Mayor Weisskirchner drew upon
'funds raised by needlework guilds
■ and upon other charities all over
;the country, and also from the pro
■fits of municipal war kitchens, with
jout acquainting the opposition mem
bers of the council of his action.
! No accounting of the charity
funds was ever made, so that the
; use of those funds was not discov
ered until the present government
took office.
Weisskirchner and certain of hia
associates now have been called
upon to explain these transactions.
Meantime the city is being sued by
manufacturers in Slovakia for vast
quantities of artificial leather fabrics
which they furnished to provide
Hafner with material for manufac
turing shoes.

REPORT OF SURVEY
(Cmtiaued from Page On*)
known, consist of (1) disseminated
deposits in fracture zones, and (2)
vein filling in well-defined fissures.
Excitement has recently been caused ,
by the finding of auriferous lodes
carrying high values in silver. Ga
lena, tetrahedrite (gray copper ore),
pyragyrite (ruby silver), and native
silver are said to occur in these
ores. There is reason to believe that
similar deposits may occur in the
Alaska part of the Stewart River
basin.
As has been shown, the general
economic conditions that affect Al
aska gold mining, and especially
placer mining, are world-wide in
their influence. The Alaska placer
miner has, however, in addition, his
own special difficulties, and these re
late principally to transportation.
With a decrease in placer mining
has come a decrease in transporta
tion facilities and an increase in
freight rates. The best aid that can
be given the miner and prospector
is good transportation service by
.water and land and reasonable
freight rates. Of first importance
is the completion of the Alaska
railroad, but better and cheaper
steamboat service, on both ocean
and river, are also imperative.
Moreover, if the railroad is to be
fully used for the development of
the resources of the Territory it
must be supplemented by trails and
wagon roads.
