IMERLOOE
One million dollars will be expend
ed in the next year by the Mother
Code Copper Mines Company. Tim
work contemplated includes the con
st ruction of a twelve mile wagon road
and a number of bridges, a complete
concentrating plant and a battery of
automobile trucks, which will be used
to convey the concentrates to the
head of the Copper Itiver & “^orth
western railway at McCarthy.
These plans were decided upon at a
meeting of the stockholders in Seattle
last week, when it was decided to in
crease the capitalization of the com
pany from $5,000,000 to *7,500,000, and
authorize a bond issue of *1,000,000.
The bonds were underwritten by New
York bankers before their authoriza
tion, and the money is immediately
available, It was said. The stockhold
ers also decided to take over the pro
perties of the Wallace Copper Corpor
ation. These properties adjoin the
Jumbo claim, the richest in the Kenne
cott group on one side and the Mother
Lode mine oil the other. The ore
blocked out in all groups has an esti
mated value of **,000,000.
The following officers were elected
for tlie year at this meeting; James
Godfrey, president; Scott Calhoun,
iice-president; Clarence I,. Warner,
secretary ana treasurer. Among me
Seattle stockholders in the Mother
l.ode arc .James J. Godfrey, John Mil
ler, Scott Calhoun, T. J. Donohue, J.
\V. Robinson, O. J. Hosford and J. M.
Pooley.
In the last two years the company,
by using sleds In winter, has shipped
approximately $200,000 worth of cop
per ore to the Tacoma smelter. The
installation of a concentrator and the
construction of a wagon road on which
automobile trucks may bo used during
the summer months and part of the
winter will greatly increase the pro
duction.
"Close to the Kennecott and Mo
ther Lode are a number of other pro
perties In which Seattle people are in
terested,” said Calhoun. “Among
these are the Hubbard-KUiott, West
over, Nikolai. Finch group. War Ragle
Dillman group and Porcupine. Tin
district was well proven long ago
but so far the Morgan-Guggenhetm In
terests, controlling the Kennecoti
claims, have been the biggest shippers
They are now shipping ore at the rat*
of nearly $3,000,00 a month.”
