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
readied by means of the new Govern
ment Railroad, and undoubtedly soon
will be the scene of much mining ac
tivity.
Fanning 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. Hie 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
napa district may be obtained from the

William Martin, a Seattle lawyer!
and Alaska mining man, has taken -
an option to purchase the entire i
holdings of the Taylor Mining com
pany, Ltd., in the Alice Arm min
ing district, British Columbia, which
includes the famous Dolly Varden
silver mine and the Wolf mine, and
a railroad which runs from Alice
Arm to the Dolly Varden mine, and
which is graded as far as the Wolf
mine. This deal calls for an ag
gregate payment of two million dol
lars, five hundred thousand of which
must be paid before January 31,
1920. Eleven mining claims are in
volved in the transaction.
Mr. Martin also has taken an op
tion to purchase the North Star
claim, a remarkable showing which
lies adjoining the Dolly Varden
group. This option was obtained
from James McAleenan, Antonio Za
relli and Dramante Zarilli, who in
turn bonded it from the original
locators, Gustaf Pearson and O.
Eindsen. The Martin option calls
' I
for a consideration of $275,000. j
Mr. Martin owns, by right of loca
tion, the Kistol No. 1 and No. 2j
.claims, the Sportsman claim, the
.Maude McPhee claim, and the Sum
mit No. 1 and No. 2 claims. These
.claims were tha second locations
\ made in the Alice Arm mining dis
trict, and were' made years ago.

financial assistance in giving his

George Watkins Evans, one of
the best informed coal mining en
gineers on the Pacific coast, now
engaged in private engineering work
with offices in Seattle, and who for
years was connected with the United
States bureau of mines, has just
returned from a professional trip
to New York city, called there for
a conference with financial inter
ests with regard to the coal mining
industry, present and prospective, in
the West and in Alaska. As a re
sult of this visit, Mr. Evans has
been commissioned to make a com
prehensive report on the coal min
ing industry in California, Oregon,
Washington, British Columbia, and
Alaska. This report, which will
take months to complete, will deal
with the demonstrated coal areas In
the West and with the prospective
though undeveloped coal areas in
Alaska.
The report will deal with the im
portant factors of the industry in
the known coal regions, such as
quantity, quality, cost of produc- j
tion, transportation facilities, mar
kets, etc., as well as thg commercial
possibilities of the great coal-bear-1
ing regions of the North.
Mr. Evans is perhaps the best in-.
formed man concerning the coal re
gions of Alaska. Years ago he had
charge of the mining of some eight
hundred tons of coal taken from the
Matanuska fields to be used in tests
by the United States navy. Two
years ago he served as a member
of a federal commission that investi
gated the Matanuska fields on be
half of the interior department.
Mr. Evans is a sourdough of the
Northland. When in his teens he
joined the great stampede to the
Klondike in 1807, packed his own
outfit over Chilkoot pass, and passed
the winter in the great gold camp.
