THE STANDARD MINES CO.
Citizens of the Standard Mining Dis
trict Give a Testl-
nnnniaI

GINA, Cal, Oct 1--we notice with
regret that Messrs. william V. Holley
and ]. e. Meyer, now operating the
Standard Mines company near Gina,
Cal, have been assailed through the
newspapers, and we believe the stories
detrimental to their character and
standing are unfounded.
These gentlemen were the first to in
terest capital in this part of the coun-
try and bring this part of the state to
the notice of the general public to any
extent, and during the past year have
expended about $4,000 for labor alone.
The Standard Mines is the only ship
ping mines in this district at present.
Since March Is it has placed on the
market an average of about 100000
worth Of ore per month.
The attacks made upon them at the
instigation of a former employe have
no effect upon us. We feel that blow
at the management of the Standard
Mines company is blow which affects
the entire district.
Miners wages have been paid on
date due and all our dealings with
Holley and Meyer have been pleasant
and satisfactory.
We therefore deplore the assaults
made upon the character and standing
of these men and believe them to be
absolutely groundless.
We make this statement as a volun-
tary act on our part and we trust that

INVADING HOME
NOT BURGLARY

Instead of pounding rock In the
quarry at Folsom, dressed in the garb
of the penitentiary, James Wade, other
wise known as "Black Jim," will
henceforth have freedom, and accord
ing to his own statement. will think
enough of his freedom to fight shy of
his mother-in-law.
Yesterday, after having been con-
victed of charge of burglary Wade
was suddenly given freedom with such
sWiftness as to fairly make his head

Jail several weeks had faced a
been found guilty, when, yesterday,
as a last step to the proceedings. he
was taken before Judge Smith of de-
partment one of the superior court and
ordered to stand up and receive sem
tence.
Wade was scared when he attempted
TO stand up, and his attorney interfered
in his clients behalf and to the sur
prise of those present asked for a new
trial for his client on the ground that
burglary cannot be committed unless
the accused trespasses on othtr's.
property.
AS Wade could not have trespassed
when he entered his own home to Sc
cure watch the burglary charge
dSdliSl niiil WAS WOrInleSS ana the
prisoner was granted a new trial.
Wade had not recovered from the
good news when, Deputy District At
torney John North announced that the
charge against the man would be dis
missed.
When Wade was told that he was
free to leave the court room he could
hardly understand his good fortune.
For weeks past he had been steeling
himself to face the ordeal of going to
the state prison, and the sudden release
almost turned his head.a
The crime for which Wade was orig
inally arrested was the alleged theft OF
a semi-gold watch from his mother-in-
law. Wade could not even live with
his wife because of the interferences OF
his mother-in-law, and finally when
he left home and secured a position he
found he would have to have a watch
to keep time over those I'm his employ.
He returned home and put his hand
In bag where a watch he had bought
for his wife was always kept. 1t was
dark when he took the watch and de.
parted.
The next day he discovered that he
had gotten a watch which belonged to
his mother-in-law. He was arrested
before he could return 1t.

LUTIN'S CREW
THOUGHT TO
BE LOST
Rx Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, Oct. 1S.-In spite of the fact
that 1t was announced at Bizerta this
morning that the spot where the sub
marine boat Lutin sank on Tuesday
had been definitely ascertained, hope
of rescuing her crew has been practi-
cally abandoned at the ministry OF
marine.
Indeed, the prevailing impression
there Is that the crew was Immediately
killed or rendered unconscious by the
accident, the cause of which, however,
is still a mystery though theories on
the subject are numerous.
The naval Officers are generally of the
opinion that when Lieutenant Fepoux
ordered the boat to be submerged in
the rough sea then running the helms
man depressed the rudder too much
and the Lutin' pitched to the bottom,
overturning her accumuulators, suffo-
eating the crew with the fumes from
the acids before they had time to re-
lease the safety weights or the tele-
phone buoy.
The water is as heavy as sixty
pounds to the inch at the place where
the submarine boat lies. 36 meters
which 1t is believed would be enough
to start her plates especially If 1t is
true as announced in a special dis
patch from Bizerta, that the Lutin
stranded a fortnight ago, that her
hull may have been injured and that
she was not docked after having been
hauled off
