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 of a twelve mile wagon road, a number of bridges, a complete concentrating plant and battery of automobile trucks, which will be used to convey the concentrates to the head of the Copper River X Northwestern railway at Mccarthy.
 These plans were decided upon at Ia meeting of the stockholders in Se- attle last week, when it was decided to increase the capitalization of the company from $5,000,0O0 to S7,500,- 900 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 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. The ore blocked out in groups has an estimated value of $8,00O,OO0. The following officers were elected for the year at this meeting: James J. Godfrey, president; Scott Calhoun, Ivice-president; Clarence l.. Warner, secretary and treasurer. Among the Seattle stockholders in the Mother Lode are James J. Godfrey, John Mil Ter, Scott Calhoun, T. J. Donohoe, J. W. Robinson, O. J. Hosford and J. M.
 Pooley. tt ~.,
 In the last two years the company,
 by using sleds in winter, has shipped approximately $2O0,OOO worth of copper ore to the Tacoma shelter. The installation of a concentrator and the construction of 8 wagon road on which automobile trucks may be used during the summer months and part of the winter will greatly in- crease the production.
 "Close to the Kennecott and Moth CT Lode are a number of other prop critics in which Seattle people are in- terested," said Calhoun. Among these are the Hubbard Elliott, Vest over, Nikolai, Finch group, War Ea- Igle, Dillman group and Porcupine. The district was we'll proven long ago, but so far the Morgan-Guggen- heim interests controlling the Kenne- colt claims, have been the biggest shippers. They are now shipping ore at the rate of nearly $3,OOO,OOO a month"

NEW DEMAND BY JAPAN
IMPERILS CHINESE LOAN
Toxic Wants Land Tax as Security,
With Collections Under Her Supervision

SHANGHAI. Sept. 27.-As security for
her share of the $4,000, 900 loan sought of
the Powers by China Japan is demanding
that the Chinese land tax be offered, with
collections to be made under the super
vision of Japanese inspectors.
The Pekin correspondent of the China
Press says that this is most serious to China,
because 1t means the penetration of the in
terror by the japanese financial represen-
tatives, who would be followed by japanese
troops. The manager of the Yokohama
Specie Bank, who represents the japanese
hnanciers interested in the loan proposition,
has demanded the security of the land tax
and, according to reports here, Premier
Tuan Chi-Jui prefers to sacr Ice the loan
rather than accept what he considers an
unreasonable demand. Premier Tuan Chi
Jul considers the surplus of the salt revenue
sufficient security.

PUNITIVE EXPEDITIONS

THREE SPEECHES IN VIEW

AsBURY PARK, n. j.. Sept 27.-"Puni-
tive expeditions into the central West in

detail by President Wilson. Development
Of his plans for this series of trips-all-
important from n political standpoint--in-
cludes decision as to the nature Of the ad-
dresses he will make and the number
on both these points the President Is
receiving tremendous amounts of advice
daily. AS result he has summoned his
campaign general Vance Mccormick. for n
conference at Shadow Lawn late today.
In the first place. the Democratic leaders
want tho President to get into the game"
with Hughes and land on a number of
issues the Republican candidate is now
striving 10 put over the plate. While the
leaders agree with the President that he
should not go out on a stumping tour, they
are more and more outspoken in urging the
injection OF few more personalities into
the so-called discussion Of public ques-
tlons" TO which the President has said he
wished TO limit himself.
These leaders wish TO see the Republican
party and Hughes himself, IL possible,
placed on the griddle by President Wilson
and made to answer what both would have
done in the situations confronting the Ad-
mlnistration during the last three and a
half years.
AS for the number Of speeches he will
make, that's another troublesome question
for the President. He plans TO speak at
night In Omaha, october 8; in the after
noon at indianapolis, october ~, and prob
ably In the afternoon in Chicago, Octo-
Der 10.
En- route TO these cities the President will
cover hundreds of miles. pass through
scores of towns and cities and either speak
to or pass up thousands who will naturally
be on hand to see him at the stations.
Many of his lieutenants want him to
make platform speeches The President,
however believes IL he did this on a general
plan his trips might be classified as stump
ing tours
