RESIDENT DF
ALASKA
The following Interesting biogra
phical sketch of Andrew K. Beatson,
a pioneer of Prince Willianf Sound,
who located and developed the IjR
touche mine, who died in Ix>s Angles
recently after an Illness of several
rnonhs, is republished from a I^os An
geles paper, and will be read with
much Interest by his many friends
throughout this section:
"The early years of his career were
the usual ones of a mining man, many
hardships, failures and disappoint
ments coming with the few trivial
successes. In 1881 he was appoint
ed superintendent of the Big Bend
Tunnel and Mining Company of
which I)r. H. V. Pierce was the head.
He remained with this corporation for
a little more than ten years and su
pervised the construction of the 12,
000-foot tunnel which now drains the
Feather river and is the source of
l>ower for the C.reat Western Power
Company, operating in the San Fran
cisco bay district.
"Having heard of the wealth of
minerals in Alaska, he went to that
territory in 1896 anil less than a year
later discovered and located the Big
Bonanza group of copper claims on
l atouche island. He immediately be
gan the development of the property
and, with the assistance of the late
Andrew Robertson, of New York, suc
ceeded In acquiring all of the claims
and interests on the island. In 1910
a new incorporation of the property
war made, the Guggenheim interests
having taken over a large share of
the stock and the company was given
the name of the Beatson Copper Com
pany, with principal offices in New
York City.
"Shortl^gafterwards, Mr. Beatson
retired from the active management
of the company and from business
life. With hi* wife he passed sever
al years in travel, coming to I>os
Angeles finally to make his perma
nent home. Early in 1914 he was
induced to re-enter business with the
new corporation, the Fifty Associ
ates, a company dealing with the
financing of commercial enterprises.
Because of his extensive experience
in the business world, he was named
president, a position he occupied at
the time of his death.
“Mr. Beatson was a native of New
York City. He was born July 7, 1854,
the son of Hr. and Mrs. James Rob
ertson Beatson. He married late in
life Miss Flora MasDonald, the wed
ding having taken place on Oct. 7,
1908. His widow, In addition to a
brother, James Beatson. of Los An
geles, and a half-sister, Miss A. Greg
ory, residing in Oakland, are the only
near relatives who survie him.
“The exact size of his fortune is
not known, even to Mrs. Beatson. It
s largely invested in stocks and
iionds. The Los Angeles Trust ami
Savings Bank has been named ex
ecutor of the estate, which will be
■ettled immediately."

CAPT. ELEN EDSERTON
IS NOIAf II BENEDICT
The following account of the wed
ding of (’apt. Glen Edgerton of the
Alaska Road Commission, and Miss
Hessln is taken from the last Army
and Navy Journal:
"The marriage of Capt. Glen Edgar
Edgerton, Corps of Engrs., U. S. A.,
and Miss Irene Hessln took place on
Dec. 8, 1914, at the home of the
bride's father In Charleston, S. C.
The rooms of the lower floor were
decked with smilax and banked with
palms and adorned with many tall
standard bearing spreading baskets
of Klllarney roses, narcissus and lil
ies of the valley. The ceremony,
which wns performed by the Rev.
William Way, rector of Grace church,
assisted by Rev. Robert Gribben, rec
tor of Saint Luke's church, Atlanta,
took place in the library, and during
the service a stringed orchestra play
ed WaUsenet’s “Clair de Lune" and
during the breakfast for 40 guests
which followed, gave n program se
lected from Saint-Saens, I)e Hussy
and Massenet. The bride, who was
given In marriage by her father, wore
a robe of Princesse lace over chiffon
and satin, having a long tulle train
suspended from the shoulders by
knots of silver gauze, and her lace
veil fell from a .band of silver and
tulle and was caught to the end of1
the train with silver bows. Her only
amament was her- father's gift, un
antique Spanish necklace of dinmondH
and emeralds, made in Oranada In
14115 for the family of the Count of
the Infantas. The bride’s sister. Miss
Louise Hessin, wore a gown of peach
pink chiffon, embrodlered in sliver and
trimmed with fur. and a hat of silver
lace. Captain Kdgerton wore the full
dress uniform of the United States
Army. Lnte in the afternoon Cgptain
and Mrs. Kdgerton left for Florida,
and offer five weeks in the South and
Hast will nail Jan. 15 for Valdez.
| Alaska, where Captain Kdgerton is
the engineer officer of (he Alaska
Hoard."

MOD OUTPUT IS I
OVER TWO MILLIONS
Tlio total gold production of the
hlitrarod district for the year 1914 will
prove somewhat of a disappointment.
According to figures compiled from re
liable sources, the total shipments of
gold from Iditarod were $2,058.2S»H.40,
whereas it was freely predicted early
in the season that the final figures
would show a production of 22,500,000,
and some enthusiasts even prophesied
that it would reacli $3,000,000. The
season's output is but little greater
than that for 1913, despite the fact
that weather conditions were excel
lent for open-cut mining throughout
the district.
The main reason ascribed to the
faling off in the expected output is
that the two dredges were compelled
by unfortunate circumstances to close
down much earlier than was expected.
The Yukon Gold Company's dredge,
on Flat creek, operated fully three
weeks longer last year than this, and
the dredge of Rlely & Marston, on Ot
ter creek was compelled to close down
much earlier than was expected owing
to accidents to the machinery. Wea
ther conditions would have permitted
the operation of both dredges until
the present time, and it is not all like
ly that they could have been operating
up till the first of the year, as there
has been no severe cold as yet.
Anoiher reason why the output did
not reach expectations is that the
operations of the Otter creek dredge
practically put an end to open-cut
mining on that creek, and thus, with
the output of the dredge curtailed, the
returns from that creek were very
largely reduced.
It is not at all unlikely that another
dredge will be installed in the district
the coming season, and in that case
I much more ground will be worked
“VAI .Year, wnen me output snouKI |
greatly exceed that of the year just I
closed.—Iditarod Pioneer.

HOME TOWN TALKS
Building good houses builds a good
town.
Save a little money and a lot of j
worry.
When someone plans to help the
town, plan to help the plan.
Tlie best plans a man can have for
the future are house-plans.
Funny how hard coal or hard wood
will soften a hard winter.
If you really love your home town,
don t flirt wi h the mail order houses.
Don’t spend all your time telling
wtiat you could do if you had some.
A good way to make the world bet
ter is to begin with home town.
A good town will do more to keep
tlie boys at home than good advice.
