Seattle, June 17—Private dis
patches received here say that the
Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate have
determined to build a spur of the
Copper River and Northwestern rail
road to the Bering river coal fields,
and to purchase new copper mines
and expand the production of those
which they.now have. The advices
state that the money for the pur
pose already has been provided.
The dispatches state that the
Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate have
grouped the Bonanza, Latouche and
L'llamur copper mines, and have
sold bonds on the group for $10,
000,000. The dispatch says.that it
is their intention to purchase other
copper properties in Southwestern
Alaska, and to increase .the
output of the mines they already
have, and to build the railroad
with the proceeds of the bonds. J.
P. Morgan and company .took the
oouds, and the proceeds of the
b>n J sale are already .available.
Tie Bonanza, La Touche and El
lamar mines are all producing pro
perties, and shipping are to the Ta
coma smelter. I
The increased demand for copper
ard the rising prices are.directly
responsible for the determination to
expand the output of the Morgan
Guggenheim syndicate in Alaska.
