LIFE SAVED
 BY ACCIDENT

It was reported around town today that John Hand, well known here had perIshed in last weeks explosion in the Mexican mine at Trcadwell.
 A careful pcrusal of the death list published in the Juneau newspapers does not show Mr. Hands name; but the papers state that he fell down shaft and sustained a fractured shoulder blade just the day before the accident and was laid up in the Treadwcu hospital when the explo- sion occurred.
 This probably saved his life, as otherwise he would have been work ing in the HOO foot level where the loss of life was greatest.
