The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, wore robe of Princesse lace over chiffon and satin, having a long tulle train suspended from the shoulders by knots of silver gauge, and her lace veil fell from a band of silver and tulle and was caught to the end of the train with silver bows. Her only armament was her fathers gift. an antique Spanish necklace of diamonds and emeralds, made in Granada in 1895 for the family of the Count of the Infantas. The brides sister. Miss Louise Hessin, wore a gown of peach pink chiffon, embroidered in silver and trimmed with fur, and hat of silver lace. Captain Edgerton wore the full dress uniform of the United States Army.

|D|TAROD OUTPUT IS
 OVER TWO MILLIONS

The total gold production of the Idtrarod district for the year 1914 will prove somewhat of disappointment. According to figures compiled from re- liable sources, the total shipments of gold from Iditarod were $2,O5S, ,290. .40. whereas it was freely predicted early in the season that the final figures would show production of $2,5OO, ,O0O, and some enthusiasts even prophesied that it would reach $3,OOO,O0O. The seasons 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 ascriDed to the falling 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 Riely & 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.
 Another 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 curtaiIed, 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 much more ground will be worked next year. when the output should greatly exceed that of the year just closei.-iditarod Pioneer.

HISTORY PIONEER RESIDENT OF
 ALASKA

The following interesting biogra- phical sketch of Andrew K Beatson, a pioneer of Prince William Sound. who located and developed the La touche mine, who died in Los Angles recently after an illness of several monhs, is republished from a Los 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 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 Dr. R. 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 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, sue ceeded in acquiring all of the claims and interests on the island In 1910 a new incorporation of the property was made. the Guggcnhelm interests having taken over q large share of the stock and the company was given the name of the Beatson Copper Con- 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 al years in travel, coming to Los Angeles finally to make his perma- nent home. Early in 1914 he was induced 10 re-enter business with the new corporation, the Fifty Associ- ates, a company dealing with the 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 ', 1854, the son of Dr. and Mrs. James Rob ertson Beatson. He married late in life Miss Flora MasDonald, the we'd ding having taken place on Oct. ', 1908. His widow. in addition to brother, James Beatson. of Los An geles, and 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 Bonds. The Los Angeles Trust and Savings Bank has been named ex- acutor of the estate, which will be settled immediately"
