NEW YORK, Jan. S1.-Preparations Tor the gorgeous "ball of the gods. % which is to be held at the Hotel As tor. on the evening of February il, lnder the auspices of the Society of Beaux Arts Architects, are rapidly progressing and great interest is be. ng taken by large number of prom nent people in the artistic and social world. The invitations are now out md it is expected that this will be wen more beautiful than the wonder ul Venitian fete held two years ago.
 Prominent architects. painters and 'culptors are in charge of all the ar 7ngcments. for the pageant and a Nundred society women will take part in the pageant and act as hostesses.

TAX REPORT FOR THE TERRITORY
 IS MADE PUBLIC


 The summary of the work of the of- flee of the chief counsel for the Ter ritory in the collection of the revenue, was made public today The following statement is given out by MT. J. II. Cobb, chief counsel for the Territory:
 Back taxes collected through this office, S16,59125.
 Aggregate amount of judgments ob- tained for taxes. unpaid, and pending in the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco. (These are test cases), S1S,49l69.
 Aggregate amount of taxes (exclus- lve of interest," due. and for which parties owing have signed agreements to pay on affirmance of test cases S22,042.75.
 Total amount in judgments directly or indirectly (exclusive of interest," S2S,S5S.44.
 Accrued interest. Approximately SlO.OOO.OO.
 "The back taxes in the First and Third Divisions have been nearly all cleared up. There are few only against whom suits will have to be brought in these divisions
 From the Second and Fourth Div. isions, returns and payments have been fairly well made from laundrles telephone companies. attorneys, doc tors. dentists and automobiles. But very few payments. or even returns have been made by the mining indus try. Many operators who are known to have made large profits, have sc 'ar not only failed to pay their taxes but have ignored all letters sent from this office demanding a compliance with the law.
 "It has so far been the policy of he Territorial officers to administer the law in a spirit of fairness and IL berality. All who in good faith de sired to test the law were given on opportunity to do so, without being oenallzed. and those who desired tc settle their debts to the Territory were allowed to do so. by paying the amount of the taxes and accrued in terest The policy of fairness to all will be continued. But 1t is intende' 70 exact penalties hereafter from all hose who have consistently ignored he law and refused o compliance witt It's provisions.
 Tn some sections there appears tc be an impression that the laws pass ed by tho people of Alaska through heir legislature are mere jokes, and hat they can be safely ignored Steps will shortly be taken to cor 'ect this view.
 "While with the incomplete data now on hand no very definite state ment can be made as to the amount of taxes still due the Territory. vel here is enough to safely say that I Inc revenue laws of the Territory arc ustained by tho court of last resori he treasury will have a cash balancC on hand when the next Legislature meets of not less than $25O,OO0.0O. II nay exceed S9OO,000O0.

MANY -cLAlMs JUMPED
 IN ToLovANA COUNTRY

Recent arrivals at Fairbanks from the Tolovana states that on January 1st there was much ground jumping in tho new camp Some Of the ground was restalzod because sufficient worl; had not been done on it; but there were many who jumped claims that they have small lildihood in holding, if the cases ever come into court.
 There was one claim on Bear creek that was jumped on midnight on the first of the year. Before o'clock in the morning 1t had been staked again by man who claimed that the first jumper had put up his stakes before midnight. and that such a location was therefore invalid
 'If the camp turns out as well as the majority of miners expect 1t to- there will undoubtedly be some litlga lion over the jumping of these claims aid a man who has just come from the digg.ngs Some of tke men are pretty sore about the jumping oi the ground. but the majority of them take 1t as good-naturedly cs could be expected" he added.

ANOTHER COPPER MINE
 TO DE BIG PRODUCER

According to Supt. w Betram Han cock. of the Mother Lode Copper Mines company. the property is to be developed on on extensive scale and will be equipped with modern maehin- cry. says the Valdez Prospector.
 At present fifty-seven men are em- ployed at this copper mine, develop ing on four different levels below the mouth of the tunnel and stoping out the high gradle ore. Recently about 100 tons of this metal was transport cd over the trail to the Copper river & Northwestern railroad to the Taco ma shelter. This ore runs from 57 to 60 per cent. copper.
 Arrangements have been made to install a mill on the property next spring with capacity of 100 tons per day: a hydro-electric plant of 200 horse power for the mill and also a compressor. An eighty-foot dam will also be built and Q wagon road con structed from the mine to Mccarthy for the hauling of the ore during the summer months. a distance of four teen miles. Owing to the high water iu Mccarthy creek in the summer caused by the melting snows and the glaciers at its head. the partly con stTucted trail down the creek can on ly be used by pack train and saddle horses for about eight months of the year and after the freezeup heavy freight sleds become available.
 The whole of the mining operations SO far done on the Mother Lode mine are practically confined to the Mar vicious. Godfrey and Hero claims, and consists of 5.415 feet of tunnels, cross cuts and driftc. etc. Since the cree ton of a tramway the work of explor ation and development has been car rled on cxpeditiously.

JAPAN IS STRONGLY AGAINST GETTING
 CHINE INTO WAR

TOXIC. Jan. 31.-The suggestion O! the Entente Allies to bring China in to the war on their side is unfavorab Iy received in Japan. The press has voiced unmistakable antagonism to the project.
 It is not true. as some Of the Jap anese papers have said. that Japan was not consulted by the Allies on the question. As a matter of fact the project was communicated to Baron Ishiji. the minister for foreign affairs by the ambassadors Of the Entente powers what at the same time re Quested the Endorsement and support of the Japanese government.
 Baron Ishiji explained that Japan could not join in the project because such an Idea was incompatible with Japan's policy which is based upon localization of the war and not 1t extension. The minister thought that # China abandoned her neutrality endless complications would arise with the German and Austrian resi- dents in China which could only tend to disturb the peace of the Far East He said he doubted whether these complications were worth while and whether the benefits from the step would be sufficiently great to war rant the risks. It would be better. Japan thought, to reach the goal Of the Allits by other means which Ja- pan was ready and willing to discuss
