T0BESPENT0N
1 .(Cordova Times.)
H On million dollars will be expend
ed in the next year by the Mother
Lode Copper Mines company. The
work contemplated includes the con
struction of a twelve-mile wagon road
and a number of bridges, a complete
concentrating plant and a battery of
automomile trucks which will be used
to convey the concentrates to the
head of the Copper River & North
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 $7,600,000 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 prop
erties 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 on the other. The ore
| blocked out in all groups has an esti
mated value of $8,000,000.
The following officers were elected
j 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
Lode are James J. Godfrey, John Mil -

ler, Scott Calhoun, T. J. Donohue, J.
W. 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 be used during
the summer months and part of the
winter will greatly increase the pro
duction.
“Close to the Ivennecott and Mo
ther Lode are a number of other prop
erties in which Seattle people are in
terested,” said Calhoun. “Among
these are the Hubbard-Elliott, West
over, Nikolai, Finch group, War Eagle,
Dillman group and Porcupine. The
district was well proven long ago,
but so far the Morgan-Guggenheim in
terests, controlling the Kennecott
claims, have been the biggest shippers.
They are now shipping ore at the rate
of nearly $3,000,000 a month.”
BODY OF FILIPINO FOUND
ON COPPER RIVER FLATS
(Cordova Times.)
The remains of a Filipino named
Alehandro Albitel, were found on the
Copper river flats by John Nebbe, and
when the matter was reported to the
i United States commissioner, A. J.
Adams, he sent a party out and had
thet remains brought to town.
It appears that the Filipino had
been fishing with some native.;, and
( as he has been missing for about a
[ week, it is supposed that he wand
► ered away from his companions and
* became lost.
Commissioner Adams held an in
” quest this afternoon and a verdict of
death from exposure was rendered by
the following jury: George Stewart,
I. L. Smith, George Ryviers, H. I.
Lewis, Wm. L. Smith and Jos. Hall.
The government will bury the re
mains of the deceased, who was
about 32 years of age.
They do say Felix Brown’s 25 per
cent reduction on clothing will close
on Saturday night. 86

INFORMING
FACTS ABOUT
U. S. MORTALITY
Several interesting facts are pre
sented in a preliminary report on
mortality in 1915 issued by the Unit
ed States bureau of the census. Grat
ifying progress has been made in the
prevention of tuberculosis during re
cent years. In only a little more
than a decade—from 1904 to 1915—
the death rate from that disease in
all its forms fell from 200.7 to 146.8
per 100,000, the decline being continu
ous from year to year. The death
rate from pneumonia has shown a
marked decline since 1900. Its fluctu
ations from year to year, however,
have been pronounced.
Another point emphasized is that
j the “safety-first” campaign inaugur
: ated a few years ago has borne good
fruit, as indicate by the figures for
accidental deaths. For 1913, 54,011
deaths were reported as due to acci
dent; for 1914 the corresponding num
ber was reduced to 51,770, and for
1915 to 51,406; and duHng this pe
riod thpre was not only an increase in
the population of the registration area
as it existed in 1913, but an increase
in the extent of the area itself. The
rate per 100,000 population for acci
dental deaths fell from 85.3 in 1913
to 78.5 in 1914 and 76.3 in 1915. There
has been a very considerable reduction
in fatalities due to railway, street
car, mine, and machinery accidents,
and the increase in those resulting
from automobile accidents has not
been as rapid as the increase in the
number of machines in use.
Deaths due to railway accidents
and injuries totaled 6,652 in the reg
istration area in 1915, or 9.9 per 100,
000. This number includes fatuli ies
resulting from collisious between
railway trains and vehicles at grade
crossings. This death rate is the
lowest on record, and shows a marked
decline during the past ten years.
Deaths resulting from street car
accidents and injuries numbered 1,555,
or 2.3 per 100,000. This rate, like
that for railway fatalities, is the low
est on record, and shows a material
falling off during the past ten years.
Automobile accidents and injuries
caused 3,978 deaths in 1915, or 5.9
per 100,000. The number of deaths
from mine accidents and injuries in
the registration area rn ^l5 was 2,
009, corresponding to a rate of 3 per
100,000. This rate shows a material
decline as compared with the corre
sponding figure for 1913, 3.6, and a
that for 1907, 4.8, which is the highest
very great decline as compared with
on record.
Deaths caused by machinery acci
dents in 1015 numbered 1,257, or 1.9
per 100,000. This rate also shows a
marked decline during recent years,
the corresponding figures for 1913 and
1914 being 2.4 and 2, respectively. The
highest recorded rate from this cause
is 2.5 for 1907.
The census figures bring out the
astonishing fact that during the year
1915 firearms caused more deaths than
railroad accidents, more than five
times as many as street car accidents
nearly as many as railroad and street
car accidents combined, and more
than twice as many as automobile ac
cidents. The total number of dea ) s
due to the use of firearms in the reg
istration area in 1915 was 7,994, corre
sponding'to a rate of 11.9 per 100,000.
Of these deaths 3,608 were suicides,
2,885 were homicides, and 1,501 were
accidental (including those concerning
which the status as to suicide, homi
cide, or accident was in doubt). The
suicidal use of firearms has increased
from year to year since 1913; the
frequency of accidental deaths due to
their use shows a slight decline dur
ing recent1'y«ars; and the "homicidal
use of firearms shows a decline as
compared with 1913 and 1914, but an
increase as compared with 1910, 1911,
and 1912. No separate data as to
homicides by firearms for the years
prior to 1910 are available.
