MARRIED IN DAWSON
Arizona Girl Finds Gold and Husband
 in Yukon Country.

Cards have been received at The Republican office from D. H. Shultz, q well known former resident of this valley, announcing the marriage of his sister-in-law Miss Nina Holmes to Mir. Andrew Halset. The nuptials were celebrated in Dawson City, Yukon Territory, on November 4th. Of tha- event the Dawson News says:
 In the presence of a few intimate friends, Andrew Halset and Miss Nina Holmes were united in marriage this morning at the Episcopal church by Rev. MT. Warren. They will make their home at Grand Forks on No. 3, Eldorado. Both are well known.
 Mir Halset has been in the country since 1895 and is thus one of the old pioneers of the territory. He has liv- ed at Circle, Fortymile and other places since his arrival in the country. He owns four claims on Gold Hill. He comes from Portland, Oregon.
 The bride was the first girl on De- minion Creek, coming here from Den yer, Colorado, in the early part of 1898 with her brother, D. H. Shultz. She owns a claim on Dominion and former ly had a store at Caribou. When she visited Denver after being in the Klondike some time, she was given an extended write-up in the Denver News.
 Miss Holmes who lived in Colorado also lived in this valley for some years when her sister and MT Shultz were here.

I should not advise Q stranger to go there now, however, for all the good claims have been taken up and so many people are there out of work that the day of good wages is going away. My own place is there with all my interests, and my mining claims and I like the country, so l am going back. The trip is too expensive for any but wealthy people.
 How did I ever come to take the trip? l think more as the result Of banter. l got the gold excitement along with others about that time and as had spent some years in the min ing camps of this state I said I was going to the Klondyke. My friends laughed at me and as my sister. who had come out from our old home in Seaforth, Canada, had died but a short time ago and I felt rather blue. l acted upon the impulse. So We made up a party consisting of MT. and Mrs. J. F.. Jewell and Mir and Mrs. Matteson of Montrose, and myself. At Seattle we were joined by my brother in-law, D. IT. ShuItz, and his partner. q man named Vim. Bedford from Phoenix, Ariz. We were a long time getting away from Seattle as all the transportation was engaged. but finally managed to get through to Dyea. After leaving there we went into camp at the foot of Chilkoot pass and went over the pass and down to Dawson with Captain Light, who was interest ed in one of the steamship companies. and his wife. We had a large supply of provisions with us and many men as packers. After we reached the
