BATESlISOLD
AT SHERIFF SALE
The Black Channel mine, located
on Foots creek, was sold at a sheriff's
sale Saturday morning, from the
courthouse steps, to R. D. Shelley of
Portland for $1548.35. This was the
high bid. presented by Attorney New
ton D. Chaney. A bid of $1545.35 was
submitted by Attorney Gus Newbury.
The sale was to satisfy claims
against the mining property incurred
wien it wnfl operated by L. A. Banks,
former local agitator, now serving
life In state prison for murder.
The mine was owned by F. A. Bates
and wife and Peter F. Lund and wife,
and -was Involved in legal and finan
t:al difficulties.
The Black Chtfnnel mine was sec
ond only to the "Dahack Case" as a
talking point in the Jackson county
turmoil festered by Banks, and Eearl
H. Fehl. It was the background of
charges of "miscarriages of Justice,"
numerous imaginary plots, editorial
threats and allegations were hurled
that "a conspiracy existed to steal
the valuable property."
Banks and group secured the mine,
and speedily engulfed it in more legal
and money morasses. Men employed
at the mine, after a few weeks' work,
filed Hens against It. Wage and ma
terial bills were unpaid, and. last
January steps were taken to secure
Judgments, closing with the sheriff's
sale.
It is understood that Shelley and
associates intend to develop the
property, if a survey Justifies It.
