Into the operation of these mines nearly
831.000. covering a period of about
eight months, and I certainly ahall not
hesitate to assert my rights In the prem

The main trouble In the affairs of
the Champion Group Mining company
has been due to the machinations of
one Hayes. I picked this man up when
tie was penniless and placed him on
nta reet. gave mm employment and an
Intereat in the affairs of the comnanv.
I aent him to Mexico to look out for
my individual interest in mines there.
He repaid ma- by mlsreDresentlna- tna

company, threw ma down In every way
possible, and then returned to Portland
