DREDGE FOR SLATE CREEK
 BELIEVED TO BE ASSURED

The news of the retirement of Harry Donnelley, the energetic young Discovery business man, from the mercantile field, to devote his time to mining operations eX- clusively brings with 1t the suggestion that dredgc may be installed on Slate creek in the immediate future.
 Several months ago it was learned that MT. Donnelley was taking options on ground on the creek named, and 1t is now learned that he controls two and one-half miles of ground on that stream. Drilling opera tions have been carried on during the past winter and 1t is understood that the values revealed are such as to warrant the III. stallation of a dredge, which is to be of at least the same size as the one operated by
 lev & McMillan on Black creek. Nego tiations have been under way for the ship ment of dredge from Nome, but if that should be found inadvisable a new dredge may be shipped from the Union Construction C0mpany's plant at San Francisco. It will be received at Iditarod during the summer and freighted over the first snow next fall, it is sail.
 The lower end of Slate creek is controlled ny J. E. Riley, and as that enterprlSlng op- orator has been having some drilling done on the ground recently, as well as on Boul- der creek. there are rumors of stil another dredge to be installed on tributaries of Otter creek It is not considered at all unlikely that next season will see four dredges oper- ating in the Otter creek district.

Aviator CoIIdes with Mirage

An interesting account of a mirage en- countered by an aviator on the western front is given by an officer to the London Times The officer says: 'I have often wondered what it would feel Ike to see a machine coming straight fer me and to know that collision was inevitable. l had the experience this afternoon. only the collision did not take place. l was on the

 Just before going in saw the plane on my right turning to cross in front of me. Sud denly saw machine of the same type as mine appear out of the cloud about fifty feet away making straight for me. h. rtinctiveIy 1 jammed my nose hard down
