2 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND. SEPTEMBER 29, 1907. PILES' FRIENDS By ANKENY Compact Made in 1905 With Walla Walla Banker Will Be Recognized. M'GRAW MAKES A SPEECH Telia Eastern Washington Politi cians King County Is Vnder Ob ligations to Senior Senator. Sweeny Will Keep Promise. s SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 28. (Special.) :-All the terms of 'the PUes-Sweeny-An-teny deal of 1905 will be carried out in mfar as It lies within the power of any 'f the parties to that agreement to pb rv them. i No secret is now being made of the fact hat Senator Piles and his closest friends relieve that Senator Ankeny went into in agreement with him In 1905 In good , alth and Insofar as possible. Files and lis friends will endeavor to keep their igreement. Charles Sweeny has already innounced that he proposed to support fcnkeny. as the 1905 agreement provided. The Piles-Ankeny agreement is backed up by the prestige of Former Governor John H. McGraw and C. J. Smith, busi ness men who were In the committee that had charge of Piles' Interests three years ago, and who underwrote the pledge of reciprocity on the part of King county. If one wants to go looking for political significance it can be found in the speech of McGraw at Walla Walla a few years ago. He was there at the head of the Chamber of Commerce business men's excursion Into eastern Washington and he spoke In response to several addresses of welcome delivered by Walla Walla people. Senator Ankeny and former Governor Miles C. Moore, leaders of rival political factions In Walla Walla county, were both present when McGraw told the people of Walla Walla that King county felt under great obligations to Senator Ankeny and especially to him since he had aided Senator Piles so ef fectually In advancing him in the senate. .Senator Guest of Seattle Men. Added to this Walla Walla talk of McGraw, who every politician in the state knows stands close to Plies and was in his advisory camp three years ago, i8 the circumstance that Senator Ankeny was invited by the business men to accompany their party to Lew Jston and Spokane. Save for the rail road division officials in charge of the train, no one outside the regular party that left Seattle was Invited to travel with the excursionists until a prece dent was established by bringing An keny aboard. It happens the business men were going into a district In which Ankeny is personally thor oughly acquainted, and where his presence might save confusion in In troductions. But for all that Ankeny' friends can And satisfaction in the Incident. Tne Plles-Sweeny-Ankeny agree ment that will be urged in King County was pretty well understood at the close of the 1905 Senatorial fight, for nobody made any secret of its terms. In fact, it was one of the mo it open Senatorial agreements that has been made, and there was no secret vest-pocket memoranda to be brought cut at a future date to confuse the Situation. Ankeny's followers had given Sweeny loyal support up to the point where it became evident to Sweeny he could not be. elected. Then he proposed to deliver to Piles, without any restrictions or qual ifications. Ankeny's followers feared they had been led I..to a trap, and protested. Sweeny ofTered to agree that a part of the dtlivery agreement should provide that King County should support Senator Ankeny or some man whom he or his Triends indorsed in 1908 and 1909. There were several minor considerations, but this is the one that counts now. The oth ers were mere legislative agreements on party measures, or had reference to ap pointment!". Standing by Agreement. Sweeny showed in an interview here the other day that he would recognize the effectiveness of the agreement made with Piles arid Ankeny. He declared 'he pro posed to support Ankeny. All along it has been understood that If any confusion arises here that C. J. Smith will come out wiht a statement certifying to the facts. John H. Mc Graw has never made any secret of the fact that he feels tied up to Ankeny, and Plies has let it be understood 'that he regards the agreement as binding. Those men represented the Senator and business interests in the 1905 agree ment. John H. Wooding, Dr. J. J. Smith nd F. C. Harper were representatives of the political interests who have always f xplained they would stand by the An keny deal. Politicians understand the slt- . uatlon. hut the business interests are not : Bo familiar with it, and that is why the prominence of McGraw and C. J. Smith will be so effe-Ltve.

A3 the result of the hearing of the case of H. A. Burnham against the Northern Pacific before the State Rail way Commissioners at Tacoma today, the commission may issue an order to compel the railroad to double-track the Tacoma-Portland line. Questions to representatives of the railroad brought answers to the effect that the business on the Tacoma-Port-land line had about reached the limit of a single-track line. Several witnesses for the railroad testified that switches and spur tracks on the main line de creased the factor of safety on a high speed track. Superintendent Palmer testified that the danger was far less on a double track than on a single track. The commission reserved its decision.

Those who have large amounts to their credit are, as a rule, dead or In the insane asylum. The law does not require banks to furnish a complete list, but only a list of those deposits where the owner is not known to be living. It Is quite pos sible that some accounts have not been reported, but have been forgotten by the owners. The law requires the banks, to publish once a week for four successive weeks, the list of unclaimed deposits. The section governing this matter fol lows: Funds Escheat to State. Section 1. The cashier or secretary of every bank, savings bank, savings and loan society, and every Institution In which deposits of money are made, shall within 15 days after the first day of July in the year 1907, and within 15 days after the first day of July of each and every second succeeding year thereafter, return to the Secretary of State of the State of Oregon a sworn statement showing the amount standing to the credit of every depositor who shall not have made a deposit, or who shall not have withdrawn any part of his deposit, principal or in terest,, for the period of more than seven years. Such statements shall also con tain the last known place of residence or postolflce address of such depositor, and the fact of his death, if known. Cashiers and secretaries of such banking Institu tions shall publish copies of such sworn statements In a newspaper of general cir culation published in a county, or town where such bank Is 'situated, and. said statement shall be published at least once a week for four successive- weeks, the cost of such publication . to be .paid pro rata out of said unclaimed deposits. The provisions of this act shall not apply to, or affect the deposit of. any person known to such cashier or secretary to be living, but the provisions of this act shall apply to a deposit of an Insane person or a person under a legal disability, whose relatives or persons having the custody, guardianship, or control of such Insane person or persons under legal dis ability, shall not have knowledge of such deposit. The list of unclaimed deposits will be delivered to the Attorney General, who will, bring proceedings to escheat the money to the state.

Captain Mogg,. of Schooner Olga, Is Pursued by Revenue Cutter Till He Repares Wrong Done Girl. ' SEATTLE, Wash.. Sept. 28. (Spe cial.) Captain Mogg, notorious as one of the most lawless of the whalers who make the Arctic sea their home, has bowed to the demands of the Federal Government and righted the wrongr he heaped upon an Eskimo woman several years ago, according' to reports brought to the city by the revenue cutter Thetis. Several years ago Captain Moks, who is now in command of the gaso line schooner Olga, abducted a young Eskimo woman and carried her with him aboard his vessel. Word of this outrage was received by Captain Hen derson when he called at Point Bar row, and he immediately headed the Thetis northward In search of the Olga. An accident to the revenue cut ter prevented catching the Olga, but Captain Henderson sent word to Cap tain Mogg by brother whalers that unless he returned the woman to her home or married her he would he hunted down. Before leaving for Seattle Captain Henderson received word that Mogg had been married to the woman at Point Barrow, DEAD OF THE . NORTHWEST ' Jesse Shortlidge. OREGON CITT, Or.. Sept. 28. (Special.)

AYER CO., Muwfkcturing Chemists, Lowell, Mats, 1 0,000 Profit In a Day ! THE CHAMPION GROUP MINING COMPANY MADE A BARGAIN FOR ITS STOCKHOLD ERS WHEN IT BOUGHT THE YREKA COPPER LODE. Mr. 0. H. Poor, the Champion Group's representative and expert mine-opener, stationed at the com pany's mines near Yreka, Siskiyou County, California, purchased for the company 40 acres of copper ground adjoining the townsite of Yreka, the papers for which were recorded on September 24. As soon as the deal was made public the City of Yreka became the citadel of unusual excitement, as it was not thought that the farmer who owned the premises would part with the tract at any price. It long had been believed that copper was there, but in what quantities was mere surmise until Mr.Toor hadthoroughly prospected the ground, on his own account, quietly and in his own way. Thoroughly satisfied of its value, Charles Herzog, owner of the farm, figured that he could make greater profit from the proceeds of the sale of this 40 acres than from his grain fields, and so Mr. Poor secured the lode for the company at a price, it is already demonstrated, so far beneath jts estimated value that, ONE DAY AFTER THE PAPERS WERE RECORDED HE WAS OFFERED $10,000 FOR r HIS BARGAIN That it was a splendid buy is told in the following letter from Mt. Poor, dSted September 21: "As you know by my former letter, I secured that Yreka property at last and I may add that I got ten acres more than we at first talked of. Today, it may Interest you to know, I have an offer of an advance of 10, 00 over what we bought for Just one week ago, but. of course, did not consider it. When we open up this mine, and begin to ship pay ore. Champion Group stock will go to $1.60 sure, and be well worth It. As the property lies alongside the railroad track, ft will be but a short Job to open it. I shall put a gang of miners to work on September 28. "I am getting a good supply of mining timber cut for Winter use, and will be able to rush work on tunnel No. 4 by September 25. I expect to have ore slide and tramway completed by October 15, which will do away with hauling ore by team. - "Respectfully yours, O. II. POOR." WHEN TUNNEL 4 IS IN TO THE ORE-SHOOT, AND WE CAN STOPE AND MILL OUR ORE, THE STREAM OF GOLD WILL TURN THIS WAY, AND OUR STOCKHOLDERS WILL BEGIN RECEIVING DIVmENDS THAT WILL GROW LARGER AND LARGER AS THE MONTHS GO BY. It will be then actually discerned that we have the greatest gold and copper propositions on the North Pacific Coast, and there will be then, as there has been in all other such enterprises, one class of happy and contented people, and another of long-faced mourners the class that owns and the one that MIGHT have owned, blocks of our stock. WHAT THE YREKA PAPER SAYS OF OUR COPPER BUY. Commenting on' our purchase of the copper ledge adjoining the City of Yreka, the Yreka' News of Sep tember 26 had this to say : "The News has claimed for a. year that there were big copper ledges within a mile or two of Yreka, and that there would be more people and money in -the old town than were seen here even in the halcyon days of '51. Now comes an Oregon mining company and backs up our faith with good, hard dollars. For several months O. H. Poor, superintendent of the Champion Group mines, has been quietly tracing a copper ledge on the Charles Herzog ranch, adjoining the Yreka corporation line on the norieast. Mr. Poor is familiar with the Blue Ledge and Happy Camp copper districts, and insists that the ore from the Herzog rancn is as good, in every respect, as that from those famous districts, and has the advantage of a railroad running through the property. The tract is 400 feet wide on the south end and 700 on the north, and contains about 40 acres. The ledge runs about through the middle from north to south, and the Yreka Railroad runs between the ledge and the County Road. The Champion Group Mining Company will sink a shaft on the ledge as soon as the necessary machinery can be got on the ground, which will be before the end of this present month. ; This deal begins a new era for Yreka. There are miles of copper croppings near the town, that have been neglected for the past generation, .when nothing but gold was looked for. And the nice thing about it is that the railroad runs, right through the copper belt, and ores can be almost dumped into the cars from the mouths of the shafts." OUR PROPERTIES NOW CONSIST OF 12 GOLD AND 14 COPPER CLAIMS, ASIDE FROM THIS YREKA 40 ACRES OF COPPER LEDGE And we venture the prediction that the assertion of our Mr. Poor that our shares will sell at $1.50 from the day we begin shipping ore from Yreka, will be more than verified. 'Ye have heretofore asserted our belief that within a year our stock will be worth from $3 to $5 the share. We sincerely believe that - this copner ledge will sweep it up bevond all our expectations, and that owners of our stock WILL REAP A HARVEST FROM THEIR INVESTMENTS THAT WILL ASTONISH THEM BEYOND ALL BOUN DARIES OF PRESENT THOUGHT! - LET IT ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED THAT WE HAVE ACTUAL GOLD MINES If we would this day cease the preparation of the mines for the tremendous production we will have before a year has passed, we could proceed with reducing our gold ore to concentrates, and, by shipping that, pay liberal dividends at once. But "liberal" dividends will not satisfy the management of these properties. It would be too much like loaning money at 10 to 25 per cent. We shall not be content with gentle showers of golden dollars. THE FLOOD MUST COME TO US IN TORRENTS ! Our shareholders must receive for their investments more than ordinary profits. They must get back thousands for their hundreds, AND THAT WITHOUT DELAY ! We have no desire to engage in mining for future generations. It is not our wish to expend our energies and not enjoy the fruits of our labor, and we feel confident that the same ambition permeates the heart of each person who has invested a dol lar in these mines. -We want to accomplish the VERY BEST RESULTS IN THE VERY SHORTEST TIME possible to do' it. We mean every word of this. We want the increment of these mines NOW. We desire that this mountain of rock shall disappear and the coined $20 's be in our bank. We are sure our partners our many stockholders desire the same thing, and we most firmly believe that we all shall be enjoying these results before a second Christmas has come and gone. HE SPOKE WISELY Mrs. Fred Holt, of Coburg, Oregon, in remitting for a block of stock, stated in her letter that "I feel 'sure the mines are what you advertise them, for my father mined there in early days, 'and always said: 'There is more gold left there than ever was taken out.' " He spoke wisely, for though more than $150, 000,000 have been taken from the placers at the foot of these mountains, the latter contain so much more of the precious metal that in comparison the products of the placers will yet appear as but a pauper's gift. THE TOILER NEVER ACQUIRES WEALTH It is splendid to speak of "h.onest toll." Labor IS honorable, but how pitifully unremuneratlve. We speak now of the salesman behind the counter, the logger in the lumber camp, the tiller of the soil, the builder of the railroad or any other who "earns his bread by the sweat of his face." But there Is a way by which this class may become independent. It Is the way of Robert F. Scott, of tho. First National Bank of Portland. Mr. Scott worked for J100 per month. He had saved $150 and investedMhat sum in mining shares. Last Spring, after two years, he sold his stock for $135,000, and Is now traveling around the world. ' Mr. Scott would have worked 87 years and 6 months to earn that much money, and by frugality would prob ably have saved one-half he earned. Investors In the Champion Group may emulate his example. The poor may become Independent, those who invest a little more may have great riches at their command. SHARES ARE NOW 50 CENTS, BUT WILL BE 75 CENTS IN A FEW DAYS, ON MONTH LY PAYMENTS IF DESIRED This stock is fully paid up and non-assessable. We have no bonds and no in debtedness. We have no salaried officers. We have J no burdens whatever to be carried by our stockholders, and WE HAVE THE MINES! There is no un certainty about that. The Champion Group 206-207-208 Couch under an alleged noncurative will has been claiming the property left by John Sullivan.
