DAWSON DREDCE ACCIDENT
 CAUSES DEATH AND INJURY

DAWSON, July 21.-Dan McDonald was killed and Henry Owren, John Robertson and Louis Chrstianson were injured as the result of an accident which occurred at the Canadian Klondyke Company's Mo- ? dredge, near Bear creek, at s o'clock this morning The dredge plunged into the pond from piles or posts on which 1t was resting tor repairs Mcdonald was caught in the hold of the big boat, and was drowned. The others were struck and injured in various ways Mcdonald was located and hlS body recovered through a hatch some time after the accident occurred. Every effort was, made to resuscitate him, but without avail
 Owren suffered dislocated hip and lnN ternal injuries which may prove serious. Christianson has a disocated shoulder, and Robertson a fracture of the breast bone. Neither Christianson nor Robertson are in jured seriously.
 The accident occurred just as the day and night crews were changing shifts, Other wise. it is understood about thirty men might have been under the dredge or ln dangerous positions about the hull. Con- siderable excitement occurred just after the accident, and for time 1t was not known what had become of Mcdonald. Some of the crew later located him. He evidently lad made struggle to escape through the, hatch but the water rushed in so rapidly that he could not get out
 Mcdonald was an old-timer in the coun- try. and was about 52 years of age. He is understood to have owned good claim on lower Bonanza in the early days. He is be- lieved to have left wife and two children in Vancouver.
 No one seems to know exactly what caused the dredge to drop. She had been on the posts or piles for several weeks, un-

dergoing repairs The bucket line and the stacker and other heavy detachable parts were removed, yet the Gredge is understood to have weighed about thousand tons as she stood.
 It is uncertain how long it will require to get the dredge back to the point of re pair where she was prior to the accident. The work of pumping out the pond and preparing to raise the dredge was started again today General Manager J. W. Boyle and Resident Manager Charles Boyle were at the scene soon after the accident,

SUNDAYS BASEBALL GAME

At Flat City last Sunday the Iditarod baseball team won an interesting game from thc creek town nine by score of l5 to 6. In the first half of the first inning the Idtarcd boys scored so many runs that the creek boys were unable to overcome the lead Speedy Caswcl acted as umpire of the game in a very competent manner although he received much good-natured criticism from the "bunch' on the bleach CTS, who necessarily demanded that 'Mappy Jack" Stevenson be substituted in that of fcial capacity.

FAMOUS GERMAN SUBMARINE
 SUNK BY RUSSIAN VESSELS

LONDON, July 26.-The German sub marine U-51, recently sunk in the Black sea by Russian warships, gained fame by eluding the British blockade and passing through the Strait of Gibraltar to operate against the allied fleet in the Dardanelles. The U-51 has been credited with sinking several vessels belonging to the allies in cluding the British battleship Majestic.
 The British blockading fleet off Gibraltar was reported to have been warned of the approach of the U-51, but failed to catch the underwater craft, which went from GibraItar to the Dardanelles, where she did much to prevent the allies warships from co-operating with the land forces on the Gal Iipoli peninsula.
 Later the U-51 passed through the Sea of Marmora and reported to the German com mander at Constantinonle If the report of her destruction in the Black sea IS true she evidently went from the Turkish capital through the Bosphorus, probably to operate against the Russian Black sea fleet.

A suqGestion to Get Around ths Law

-4A'''NoA >N'-4
 A Suggestion to Get Around ths Law
 A correspondent of the News Miner has unique suggestion for circumventlng the new eight hour law. which, however, probably would not stand a legal test, but which tends to show the extremes to which per sons will go in combating legislation which may not meet with their wishes. He says; Let the miner go to the operator and say; I will pay you one dollar for an in terest in the ground and thus being part ner and not an employe, l am not subject to the eight hour law. 1 will work ten hours per day and will accept s per day and board as my share of the revenue from the ground. You are to have complete coutrcl of the workings of all concerned, and you may at any time you see any cause buy back my interest in the ground by pay ing my one dollar for it and the amount that is due me at the above rate per day This settles the matter Tn full.
 In the Koyukuk
 Word comes from the Koyukuk that preparations are under way to comply with the eight-hour law. the mining men of the district working their crews in two shifts of four hours each The crews work four hours, rest eight, and then work four hours more This IS said to have proved success ful Tn every way. and both operators ana men are said to be satisfied with it.
 In the Nome District
 Despite the alleged inhibitive features of the new eight hour law, says the Nome Mug get of July 16 the local mining situation appears to remain about the same as before As far as can be learned, no one appears to have felt an undue pressure from the application of the law, and the employers are all apparently complying with us pro visions l. is rumored, however, upon un- convincing authority that many claims will. in the future be worked on a species of co- operative plan.

Liberty Studios Busy

In the last three weeks no fewer than
nine directors representing independent
producing companies have visited the
Liberty studios at Germantown.
From Mr.. Musten, the general man
aRer and treasurer Of the Liberty MO
tion Picture Company, it is learned that
the Liberty has made a systematic
campaign to get for Philadelphia the in
dependent producers who work In and
about New York. and in this manner
make Philadelphia the home Of indepen-
dent productions
The Liberty studios, with five artif-
ciaIly lighted and ave daylight stages

props, costumes and other accessories
that go to make up complete ana
modern plant; the studio farm OF two
hundred acres, containing mountains,
lake quarry, railroad. and buildings
ideal for locations to produce outdoor
scenes. appeal to the visiting directors
as the right place for producing at rea-
sonabls cost. The fact that the Liberty
Motion Picture Company does not pro-
duce pictures, but rents its plant to pro-
ducers, meets with the approval OF the
visitors.
From all outlOOks by next fall no fewer
than ten companies VIII be at work
