W H Nichols of Butte Montana stands accused after promoting the Butte & Bingham Copper Mining Company of Bingham Utah. Investors including two women put up 200 dollars for 20 000 shares at 1 cent each, later sold to Nichols for 2500 dollars net 2300. He keeps two clerks and a boy selling shares at 15 cents with promises the stock will rise to 20 to 60 cents, or even a dollar by year end.
