Brokers VS.. Stock Held by
The State Bank and Trust Co.

A very peculiar condition of affairs
was revealed in the District Court last
Saturday upon the hearing of Frank L.
Wildes as Receiver of the State Bank
& Trust Company on his application
to the Court for reduction of his
bond. 1t appears that the State Bank
& Trust Company holds in its name
about 100000 shares of the capital
stock of certain mining corporations
as security to pay debts due by the
Sullivan Trust Company. and also
holds in its name about 500 900 shares
of other stocks of different kinds as
security to pay other obligations from
other persons. It further appears that
Mr.. Wildes. as such Receiver, soon
after his appointment, obtained an or
der of court to dispose of all stocks
held by the bank and also of other
personal property. It further appears
that Mr. Wiides has attempted to dis
pose of these stocks through the San
Francisco Stock AMI Exchange Board,
being the only medium through which
he coud dispose of them, and furnish
ed the Board with certified copy of
his appointment as Receiver, thus
showing his authority to transfer the
stock standing in the name of The
State Bank & Trust Company. Whilst
such showing is accepted as sufficient
in all courts of justice throughout the
United States, the San Francisco
( Stock and Exchange Board refused to
accept it as sufficient, and demands
the performance of onerous conditions
before it will accept the stock for sale
through its medium, and has refused
to handle said stocks before said con-
ditions are performed.

TWO BIG RECLAMATION
PROJECTS ARE UNDER WAY
State Engineer Back From Trip of Inspection Water Rights

Acres of Arid Lands Under Carey Act

Mr. Nicholas states that he believes
that both Of these big projects will be
carried through successfully and that
they are two of the biggest reclama-
ton projects that have been attempt
ed in this State in it's history.
While on his trip the State Engin-
eer visited the scene of the recent big
washout on the Salt Lake. San PEDRO

that it is one Of the worst sights OF
ruin that he has ever seen. Eighty
seven miles Of the roadbed were en-
tirtly washed away and for miles tle
ties and rails can be seen piled high
in the air. At the time of the big
washout a train of 33 cars of material
was on the line. The torrents from
the mountains struck the train and
as a result cars and material can be
found all the way from the scene OF
the washout to the Colorado River.
Mr. Nicholas states that at the
time of the washout there were num-
Der of hobos on the line that got
caught and in nearly every instance
they took refuge in the cars of the
above-mentioned train. The only
merchandise that happened to be on
train was two cars of cream of wheat
