EDMUNDS TAKES BRIDE
AT YUKON RIVER TOWN
Miss L. Beatrice Nuneville, for
mer member of the nursing staff at
the Government hospital, and M. C.
Edmunds, draftsman in the local of
fices of the Alaskan Engineering
commission, were married at Tan
ana on Saturday, at the Mission of
Our Savior, according to telegraphic
advices received by The News. Those
present at the ceremony as wit
nesses were Miss Mabel Pick and
Bon Mozee.
The bride reached Tanana from
the States shortly before the close
of navigation and was to have come
to Nenana on the steamer Yukon,
which was forced to go into winter
quarters at Gibbon. As soon as
trail conditions would permit, after
the trip of the Yukon had been
abandoned, Mr. Edmunds started for
Tanana overland, and the marriage
took place almost immediately upon
his arrival there.
The newlyweds will return to Ne
nana over the trail at an early date
and will _go into residence in the
Browne cottage on the railroad re
serve.

RIVER IS FROZEN OVER;
DOG TEAM GOES ACROSS I
The Tanana river is frozen over
in front ol the mission above Ne
nana, and for several days past
residents of the village and others
have been crossing1 from one side of
the river to the other. A dog team
and sleigh is also reported to have
made the crossing without difficulty,
and it is expected that horses will
be able to cross within a few days
unless the weather should turn
warm.
Below the mission the river is
clear of ice except for that along
the shores, and it pmbably will be
some time before the channel will
close, for it must freeze from both
sides.
Passengers and mail are ferried
across the stream in small boats, but
the movement of freight between
Nenana and North Nenana has been
suspended until teams can cross on
the ice.

MUSHERS ARRIVE
ON WAV OUTSIDE
FROM IDI1AROO
Enroute to the States on a com
bined business and pleasure trip,
Major George W. Albrecht anil
Charles E. Taylor, of the Iditarod
legal firm of Albrecht & Taylor, ar
rived in Xenana yesterday morning
and will leave for the coast tomor
row by way of Broad Pass. They
started from Iditarod more than a
month ago, intending to make the
trip by water, but, ,after a number
of transfers on the lower river, they
found themselves marooned finally
at Tanana, with the season of navi
gation at an end. After a stay of
two weeks at the army town, the
two oldtimcrs hit the trail for Ne
nana and arrived here none the
worse for their long hike over the
unbroken winter trail. In spite of
his years, the major is said to have
performed like a yearling on the
trail, and anticipates no difficulties
in negotiating the hundred-mile
mush between ends of steel.
The arrivals report that consider
able mining was done in the Idita
rod district during the past season J
and that the output will total nearly '
as much as that of the previous i
year, their estimate for the season I
being between $600,000 and $750,- j
000. The bulk of the money was [
taken out by the two dredges oper- j
ating on Otter creek and by Dave'
Stranburg, on Flat. There were J
also a number of small outfits on
Flat which did well. Stranburg op- ■
erated on the abandoned Wildcat
association, going deeper than the j
original owners and finding better
pay than they did. 1
The Yukon Gold dredge on fiat!
was dismantled early in the season 1
and part of the big machine was
shipped Outside during the summer j
The other two dredges in the dis-!
triet, oil operated machines, worked
on Otter creek, but whether or not
they will be operated next summer
will depend upon the result of pros- '
pecting done during the winter. One
of the machines is owned by the
Riley estate and the other by Beaton !
& Donnelly.
The dredge which was operated
on Greenstone creek by the Gug
genheims has been moved to Ruby j
and will be freighted to Gaines!
creek this winter, where it will be j
operated by Thornes & Higgins on !
ground which is said to carry high ■

In making the trip up from Tan
ana, the two mushers took the wrong
trail at Kish lake and wandered up
Boulder creek some distance before
being able to locate themselves.
They passed a number of deserted
cabins and were getting quite hun
gry when they came to a cabin well
stocked with supplies. They also
found a telephone in the house, and
by questioning “central" ascertained
their whereabouts and the name of
the owner of the cabin, with whom
they later conversed by phone. They
also phoned Rampart and talked j
with some of their fellow passengers
who were frozen in on the Seattle
No. 3.
The trail from Tanana to Dun
bars was in fairly good condition
and the weather just right for trav-1
eling by foot. Upon arrival at Dun- J
bars the travelers caught a work
train and completed the remainder
of their trip to Nenana by rail.
Both Major Albrecht and Mr.
Taylor are well known in this dis
trict. Mr. Taylor has been a resi
dent of the North since the early
Dawson days, and lived in Fairbanks !
for a number of years. The major
came North about eight years ago
and, after a short stay in Fairbanks,
went to Iditarod and opened law
offices there. Some time later, he j
and Mr. Taylor formed a partner- l
ship and now handle practically all |
the legal business in their district, i
They also have an office in Seattle.
Major Albrecht expects to return
North over the trail in April, and
Mr. Taylor will not be far behind.
The two visitors are guests at the
Southern during their brief stay j
here.
