reports which had been made concern
ing the alleged fraudulent business of
the board of trade firm of McLain
Brothers & Co., and arrested Charles
r. and Albert o. McLain, members OF
the firm. The charge was using the
United States mails to carry on a
scheme to defraud.
The prisoners were taken before
United States Commissioner Humpn-
rey, where they waived examination on
the charge and were held to the federal
grand jury in bonds of $1,000. The bail
was what is known as a joint and sew
eral bond, the whole of which will be
PENDANTS fail to appear IN court when
called upon.
The two board of trade men are said
to have begun their operations with
customers in various parts of the coun-
try two years ago, and it IS claimed
they realized over 100000 through their
bucket shopping scheme. They will
not appear in court again until next
spring, and then not unless the federal
grand jury finds true bills on the
charges.
The members of the firm. are said to
have matched" buying or selling orders
from customers, with the reverse trade
on Its own account, anu the WOrk Is
said to nave been carried on so quietly
that many customers lost money on
the fictitious sales.
The evidence in the case is in the
custody of the postoffice officials and is
made up of a bundle of several hun
bred letters written by the defendants
to their customers. Some of these Gus
toners were: H. NJ. Lloyd, Sterling,
Kan; J. ]. Stevens. Dalton, Kan, and

WEST MOUNTAIN PLACER.
Channel Is Eighty Feet Between Rim
and Rim.

superintendent Clays of the West
Mountain placer came in from Bingham
last night more enthusiastic than ever
over the showing now being made at
that remarkable property. The cross
cutting of the channel has been COM
pleted, and at the point where the work
was done it is fully eighty feet be-
tween rim and rim, and though the
drift sent through is six feet high good
pay gravel still shows above. During
the week there were SO many other
matters which demanded close atten-
ton that no sluicing was done, but Mr..
Clays brought down several ounces of
rich, coarse gold, just TO show how
easy il was to gather il up during the
progress of work underground. When
the new shaft which is now going
down on the opposite side of the chan
mel from the present working shaft is
completed, the cross-cut just finished
will be connected with the surface at
III ends. This will be accomplished
within the next very few weeks. and
then everything Will be in fine shape for
an active career of profitable produc-
ton. AS it is, Superintendent Clays
saws he has the water under perfect
control. and gravel raising is now in
progress. the bins are nearly full, and
sluicing will commence at once The
channel has been cut al its very mar
rowest point. Mr.. Clays says. and ne
has no doubt that it will more than

According to some Wall street reports,
the war between the sugar rehning
companies is very near a settlement

way. 1t is said, in fact. that con-
solidation of all the sugar renninS
comnanies of the country is shortly TO
be brought about, and that the Amer
lean company has the project in n eha aayi
While it is Impossible TO get any vel ~
eoation of the report. it is regarded as
significant that in spite of the present
war, which is supposed by the public
to be costing the refining companies
sugar stocks have been strong, ana at
any recession have been bought by IN
siders. ..u-
But whether this consolidation TAX
&c ar is not without foundation, II
seems to be very generally accepted
that an agreement between the warning
companies has practically been reached,
the terms of which may be announced
at any time.
