MILLION DOLLARS BE
SPENT ON MOTHER LODE
One million dollars will be expend
ed In the next year by the Mother
Lode Copper Mines Company. The
work contemplated includes the con
struction 6f a twelve mile wagon
road, a number of bridges, a complete
concentrating plant and a battery of
automobile trucks, which will be
used to convey the concentrates to j
the head of the Copper River & |
Northwestern railway at McCarthy.!
These plans were decided upon at
a meeting of the stockholders in Se
attle last week, when it was decided
to increase the capitalization of the
company from $5,000,000 to $7,600,->
000 and authorize a bond issue of
$1,000,000. The bonds were under
written by New York bankers before'
their authorization, and the money is,
issediately available it was said. The i
stockholders also decided to take over
the properties of the Wallace Copper
Corporation. These properties ad
join the Jumbo claim, the richest In ,
the Kennecott group on one side and |
the Mother Lode mine on the other. |
Tlfe ore blocked out In groups has'
an estimated value of $8,000,000.
The following officers were elected I
for the year at this meeting: James
J. Godfrey, president; Scott Calhoun,
vice-president; Clarence L. Warner,
secretary and treasurer. Among the
Seattle stockholders in the Mother I
Lode are James J. Godfrey, John Mil
ler, Scott Calhoun, T. J. Donohoe, J.
W. Robinson, O. J. Hosford and J. M j
Pooley. . *
In the last two years the company,
by using sleds in winter, has shipped
approximately $200,000 worth of
copper ore to the Tacoma smelter.
The installation of a concentrator
and the construction of a wagon road
on which automobile trucks may be I
used during the summer months and j
part of Jhe winter will greatly in
crease the production.
“Close to the Kennecott and Moth
er Lode are a number of other prop
erties in which Seattle people are in- j
terested,” said Calhoun. “Among!
these are the Hubbard-Elliott, West
over, Nikolai, Finch group, War Ea- |
gle, Dillman group and Porcupine. 1
The district was well proven long
ago, but so far the Morgan-Guggen-!
helm interests controlling the Kenne-!
eott claims, have been the biggest I
shippers. They are now shipping ore
at the rate of nearly $3,000,000 a
month.”
