Wolfe Trial Next Week

The trial of Conrad Wolfe, Northwest mining man, on charges growing out of alleg- ed irregularities in the pro- motion of the local Cantu group, will take place in Se- attle next wek.
 Wolfe, who was indicted two years ago on charges of using the mails to defraud, was recently refused another continuance of the case on claims he is suffering injuries received in an automobile ac- cident several months ago, ac- cording to press reports. His claims were resisted by postal inspectors and the U. s. At torney's office at Spokane, and they had their own phys icians examine him, with the result that Federal Judge Cushman ordered him brought to Seattle for trial.
 Wolfe succeeded under var ious pleas in having the case continued three times during | the past year. Four local wit
 nesses were supoenaed in the case and left for Seattle dur ing the past week.

EXPECTS J. 5. MAY
 LEAVE GOLD STANDARD

Repeated expressions of opinion in the Outside press indicate growing belief that the United States will be forced by economic pressure to abandon the gold standard.
 Alvan T. Simonds, president of the Simonds Saw and Steel company, voiced the convict ion in an address a few days ago that this country may be compelled to suspend the gold standard.
 Referring to the revision of monetary values by Russia, Germany, France, and more recently England and Japan, MT. Simonds, who forecasted the current depression three years ago, said that under pressure, the United States would be forced off the gold standard. If it is maintained, he said, wages will be cut not 10 but 50 per cent, and added |:
 'Tn attempting to put into effect government economies to balance the budget, Presi- dent Hoover faces the same situation as did Ramsey Me Donald. And he will have to do exactly as Mir. Mcdonald did," Mr. Simonds said, add ing:
 Congress will be subject to the same pressure that was exerted after the Civil war. Some method of imitation will have to be sought. And ii congress is forced to initiate, the gold standard will have to be suspended. However, it is not such a sacred animal that we need to fear it."
 In opposition to this expres- sion by MT. Simonds come re- ports from Washington stating that administration officials belittle suggestions that the United States might abandon the gold standard.
 This country could not do SC even if it wanted to, it was emphasized in one high source
 The reason given was that nearly all securities and gov. ernment obligations are pay able in gold dollars, with the fineness of the gold specified

CHAMBER COMMERCE
 HOLDS SESSION

Discussion of a proposal to urge a one-year suspension of annual assessment work on mining claims formed the principle topic of discussion at the monthly dinner meeting of the Hyder Chamber of Com- merce, held at the Silver Grill Wednesday evening.
 The proposal was submitted by s. P. Fitzgerald, who con- tended that inability to secure employment during the past year has created a bad situa- Jion for the prospector, bur- iening him with debt and mak-
 ng the maintenance of his es- sessment work extremely diff ficult. A suspension of annual labor, MT. Fitzgerald said, would permit him to earn enough during the working season to pay his bills. This in turn would be beneficial to the business houses who had carried him during the period of his unemployment. During his argument MT. Fitzgerald cited the suspension of annual assessment during the war per- iod and declared that insofar as the prospector is concerned the present need for suspen- sion was fully as great as at that time.
 The proposal was energeti- cally opposed by B. B. Smith, who declared that such sus- pension would stop every min ing activity in the camp and would keep the considerable amount paid for annual labor by outside interests out of the camp, thereby harming both labor and business. In conclu- sion MT. Smith, who is himself a large holder of mining prop critics, declared that if the prospector cannot find a way to take care of his property, he shold step out and let some one else do it.
 After wide and interesting discussion of the question it was decided to appoint a com mittee to investigate the situ- ation and report at the next meeting on the advisability of endorsing the proposal. The committee named included MT. Smith, MT. Fitzgerald and MT. Blue, with the latter as chairman.
 Owing to the prevailing bad weather, attendance at the meeting was considerably smaller than usual, only IA, members and two visitors be- ing present when the meeting was called to order by Chas. F. Sandford, president of the board of directors. The visitors were Donald c. Esselmont, of Stewart, and J. K. Green, of Hyder.
 Reporting a special meeting of the board held Tuesday, the chairman announced that
 authorization has been given for the purchase of quantity
 of fire extinguisher chemicals
 to return quantities borrowed from Hyder Lead Mines, Inc, and to refill hand extinguish-
 CTS owned by the Chamber of
 Commerce,
 The board also reported fav- orably on a suggestion by MT. Blue that the fire protection committee make an inventory of the character and location of all available hand extin- guishers in the town and see that they are in proper wor.. Continued m Page

M 4 N ' OUTFITS ARE AT WORK IN
 IDITAROD NOW
Snow Is M eltin g Slowly which Insures Adequate
 Water Supply

ANCHORAGE-There is a lot o1 mining activity in the Iditarod district and throughout the Inter- for generally, said Aviator Matt A Nieminen, of the Alaskan Airways on his return to Anchorage head quarters from a flight to the h. terior, with numerous stops along the route to Flat by way of the Upper KuskokWim.
 Dredging operations are in full swing at Flat and there are num- erous other outfits at work along Flat and nearby creeks, Pilot Mem inen is quoted as saying in the Anchorage Times. Conditions are more favorable than usual for min ing, with the snow melting just fast enough to provide a contin- uous supply of water.
 Present indications are that the snow water will keep things nov ing steadily until the commence ment of the rainy season. Ordinar- fly, operations are considerably re- tarded during the early summer by lack of water, the snow going off with rush and leaving no water to tide the camp over until the rains come.
 New Dredging Outfit
 The Lindstrom and Olson Com pany has new dragline outfit en route from the Iditarod landing to Flat. It was shipped in on the first boat and assembled at the landing, and it is now making its way to Flat under it's own power, over the splendid road which con- nscts Iditarod and Flat.

DIVING RABOT RUN BY ELECTRIC MOTORS
 CARRIES ONE MAN

Driven about the ocean floor by electric motors, a diving robot that carries one person. has been de signed for undersea exploration or other work. The device has two long interchangeable arms that per form almost any work, controlled from the inside of the chamber. A window on each side and one in front of the operator give excel lent vision, while a battery of in- candescent lamps light up the wa ter sixty feet ahead
 The operators room is like the cockpit of an airplane and con- tains oxygen tanks, and controls for compressed-air tanks and for the arms of the robot The opera tor $ protected from excessive pres urs, says Popular Mechanics Maga- zine, and is able to work for long periods of time at normal air pressure with little help from the surface.
 Lowered over the side of a ship the device sinks by taking on wa ter ballast. Reaching the bottom, two motors, which receive their power from the ship by a cable, propel the submarine-like craft. Forward and backward motion is possible. When the work is com pleted, the fifteen-foot craft rises by expelling the water ballast. Air and power cables connect the div ing chamber and the mother ship.

The third arrest in one of the neatest hi-jacking schemes operat, ed in Connecticut in several months was made ht e yesterday afternoon when Philip Capadonna, known in local pugilistic circles as Kid Bar ber," was taken into custody. He spent the night at police headquar- ters and was turned over to state troopers this morning. He will be taken to Burlington for hearing before Justice William Holbein. Two of his suspected companions, Emil D'Onifrio, 26, of 30 Win tf1rop street, Hartford, and Frank verrastro, 20, of 326 Oak street, Waterbury, were captured Sunday in Hartford and ordered held un- der bonds of $10,000 each. A sim liar amount will be asked in the case of Capadonna.
 State troopers are Investigating the particulars of the complaint made by the victim of the report ed hi-jacking scheme. Rudy Bart nick who lives on the Harwinton road near Burlington alleges that three young men posing as state troopers raided his place, seized S5 gallons of cider brandy and placed him under arrest for violation of he liquor law, While being taken to the state police barracks he was induced to pay $50 for his release and a nolle of the charges. Bart nick didn't fall as hard for the scheme as the trio suspected. He took the numbers of the automo- bile in which the three conspirators rode and informed the state police, the real state troopers. DOnofrio
