ANDREW BEATSON
 PASSES AWAY

Andrew K. Beatson, the mining oD. orator who located and developed the Latouche copper mine, died in Los Angeles on Dec. 16 after an illness of several months. The Los Angeles paper gives the following history of the Prince William Sound pioneer:
 "Mr. Beatson was a pioneer in the development of mining in Alaska, and he was also we'll known in mining circles of the West. He came to Cali fornia with his parents in 1858 and engaged in the mining business as a very young man.
 "The early years of his career were the usual ones of a mining man, many hardships, farures and disappoint- ments coming with the few trivia, successes. In 1881 he was appoint ed superintendent of the Big Bend Tunnel and Mining Company, of which Dr. R. V. Pierce was the head. He remained with this corpora ion 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 power for the Great 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 and less than year later discovered and located the Big Bonanza group of copper claims on Latouche 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 was made, the Guggenheim interests having taken over 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.
 Shortly afterwards, MT. Beatson |retired from the active management of the company and from business life. With his wife he passed sever Ial years in travel, coming to Los Angeles finally to make his perma- nent home. Early in 1914 he was induced to re-enter business with the new incorporation. the Fifty Associ. ates, a company dealing with the financing of commercial enterprises Because of his extensive experience in the business world, he was nam ed president, a position he occupied at the time of his death
 "Mr Beatson was native of New York City. He was born July z, 1854 the son of Dr. and Mrs. James Rob ertson Beatson. He married late in life Miss Flora Macdonald, 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 on ly near relatives who survive him.
 "The exact size of his fortune Is not known, even to Mrs Beatson. Il is largely invested in stocks and bonds The Los Angeles Trust and Savings Bank has been named ex. ecutor of the estate, which will be settled immediately.
 "The funeral service will be con. ducted tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Pierce chapel, No. SIG South Flower street. The body, in
