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.

MAY DOUBLE-TRACK ROAD
Too Much Business Between Tacoma
and Portland for One Track.
TACOMA. Wash.. Sept. 28. (Spe
cial.) 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.

Most of the accounts are for less than

apparently, balances overlooked because
small. 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.

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.

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.
