O.. received by mail false Information regarding the Old Channel Hydraulic Mines Company, with prop erty near Galice, Or. The brothers are said to have sold stock in several other mines in the West during a per iod of eight years. They maintained offices in Cleveland until two years ago. After stock had been sold In six gold and three lead mining companies for a total, it is said, of $1,000,000, divi dends ceased, stockholders aver, and an attorney was sent to Oregon to In vestigate the properties.

Frank McNlcholas. a brother of the men named In the Federal complaints, who works for the Pacifio Telephone & Telegraph Company as a. lineman, said yesterday that the mines alluded to In the Cleveland telegram were lo cated by him eight years ago. He says they are ' not paying properties and proved disappointing. Frank McNlcholas also declares that neither of the brothers wanted by the authorities are in Portland. He de clared, last night that James Is In Montreal and. that his address Is the Queen's Hotel. F. T., he asserted. Is, or was ten days ago. In Albuquerque, N. M- "I know little about the sale of any stock In these mines," said Frank Mc Nlcholas last night, after reading the presa dispatch from Cleveland. "I lo cated the claims. I think about six of them, near Galice, eight years ago. They never amounted to anything. We did only the assessment work required under the law, amounting to $100 a claim. I forget whether it was four or six I located, but It was several. I named them the Blue Klbbon mines. I don't know how this Old Channel name was brought about. My brothers worked on the claims some and some years back Tom sold some stock, but It he ever used the malls to sell any of it. I do not know It; I thought he sold It personally. I know he went East to sell the stock himself. "James," continued he, "Is in Mon treal, at the Queen's Hotel. He is In terested In some mining property there, with English capital. For all I know, Tom may be climbing poles, as he Is a lineman by trade, the same as I am. I do know, however, that he Is not in Portland, and if Mr. Clement thinks he is. he has another guess coming." L. D. Mahone, secretary of the Ore Eon Mining Association, said last night that his office hud received complaints about some mines in Southern Oregon and also some in eastern parts of the state, in which, he understood, the Mc Nlcholas brothers are interested. He said that a complaint reached his desk from New Tork Just a few days ago about some stock that was worthless, tnd that he is now engaged In an in vestigation. "While there is property In Galice that is all right." said Mr. Mahone. "it seems that this Old Channel proposi tion is not right; that stock has been sold in it and is worthless. I am now Investigating complaints along this line, but as to the facts concerning the alleged sale and the alleged use of the alalia therefor, I know nothing."
