STANDARD MINES CORP.
 IN LIQUIDATION


 Liquidation of the assets of the Standard Mines Corporat- ion, original holder of the bond on the Big Missouri, recently exercised by the Buenea Vista Mining Co., was announced last week in the south, follow ing a meeting of shareholders in Tacoma.
 The chief local interest in the development centers around the fact that the Standard Mines owns 750,000 shares of the stock of the Big Missouri Mining Company, it's successor in control of the property, and there is considerable speculat- ion as to the probable effect of distribution of this large shareholding. Despite the re- cent discovery of rich gold ore, the stock encountered heavy selling during the past two weeks, but stood up we'll un- der the strain, losing only a few points.
 Regarding the possibility of declines in the event that the Standard shareholdings are distributed and to some extent thrown on the market, it may be said that it will probably be some time before such an eventuality could occur, as the distribution would probably reuire from two to three months to complete. It is also reported in the south that there is a probability that a large portion of the stock may remain pooled.

SAYS WILD-CATTERS
 MUST BE CURED

Declaring that the mining laws of British Columbia de- signed to prevent fraudulent mining operations will be en- forced to the limit, Hon. w. A. Mckenzie, Minister of Mines in the new B. c. government, has issued emphatic instructions to every mining engineer in his department to employ all means at their command to save investors from fake min ing schemes, asserting that the full support of the govern ment will be thrown behind them in curbing wildcat oper- ations.
 "The mining laws of this province, as designed to pre- vent fraudulent mining operat- ions, will be enforced to the limit" MT. Mckenzie declared in issuing his instructions. "At no time have such measures been so necessary as they are now, on account of the present activity in the mining industry.
 In his letter of instruction to the department engineers MT. Mckenzie said:
 Interest in British Columbia mining is greater now than at any time in our history. I am of the opinion that if this great activity is to be kept on a sound and healthy basis, if a free flow of capital from out side as we'll as from resident investors is to be maintained, it is necessary that nothing be- left undone in the endeavor to restrict the activities of all but those who are engaged in le- gitimate mining development.
 These steps," the letter con- tinues, "must not be construed as an attempt to interfere in any way with legitimate min ing development. The depart ment and the government is solidly behind such operations and will do everything poss- ible to facilitate them. But the dishonest operator is an enemy not only to the investing pub lie but to the mining industry as we'll. When an investor is deceived and loses money in a dishonest promotion he is in- clined to become skeptical about the whole industry and to withdraw his financial SUD- port. If they were to reach a large volume fraudulent pro- motions thus would have a very serious effect on invest ment in legitimate enter pr.ses."
 To assist in determining the best methods to pursue in stamping out fraudulent pro- motions, MT Mckenzie asked his officials to submit suggest ions.

WOODBINE SITUATION
 VERY MUCH UP IN AIR

Con1loence Tn the future of the Woodbine property has suffered a severe shock as a result of southern press re- ports announcing that Stewart and Batten, consulting engin- eers, who recently examined the property at the instance of the Woodbine directors, have returned a report of such char acter as to leave the proper tvs future outlook in decid- edly hazy and uncertain state.
 Published portions of the re- port disclose that the engineers virtually condemn all the vast amount of work so far done on the property and express the opinion that it has not re- suited in the exposure of com mercial ore. Following this sweeping conclusion, which is widely at variance with the expressed views of other emi- nent mining engineers, Messrs. Stewart & Batten conclude by recommending the expenditure of $50.000 for diamond drill work on the property and also that an additional $1OO,O0O be made available for develop ment work, if required.
 Assuming that the published excerpts from the report are correct it discloses a situation that is not only far from clear but also one from which num- erous anomalous differences may be rightfully drawn. Il may be possible that explan- ations of the Stewart and Bat ten deductions are contained in the unpublished portions of the report, but until such time as these appear, their views re- garding the property vii probably be regarded by the mining public as somewhat in conclusive, to say the least.
 Recalling that several engi- neers of high standing have examined the Woodbine at in- tervals during the period of op- eration and also that they were practically unanimous in the opinion that upward of half a million tons of milling grade ore had been developed on the property, the evidence of Stew art and Batten is rendered doubly mystifying.
 The company, however, ap- parently has decided to adopt the Stewart and Batten recom- mendations, as a drill crew ar rived from the south and went up to the property this week.
 As was to be expected, pub- lication of the report resulted in a marked depression of Woodbine shares on the south ern exchanges, quotations ranging down to 1012 during the past week.
 According to the recent an- nual report, the company is in good shape financially with over $10O,O00 in negotiable assets available.

Judgment. The defendant in error,
the People of the State of Illinois, en-
tered motion to affirm the judgment OF
the lower court.
The assignment of errors set forth
that the deadly weapon act is class leg
islation which contravenes the guar
antees of equal protection of the laws,
as laid down In the Constitution Of Ill'-
nois and the fourteenth amendment to
the Constitution of the United States.
AS there was no basis for an arrest
without warrant. the revolver and
cartridges were improperly seized and
cannot be made the basis for a charge
under the deadly weapon act.
The information is void on its face, as
1t charges violation of an alleged law
which was not in force at the time
same is therein charged TO be in effect. y
(The information described this law as
'in effect July, 1926" whereas the law
became effective July 3, 1929
The information was further void, the
DILL set forth, because it did not mega
lively aver that the plaintiff in error
Mr.. Salts was not a conductor, bag
gageman, messenger, driver watchnan
special agent or policeman employed by

gagged in the discharge of his duties as
