GENERAL SUTTON
FLYING ARGONAUT SEEKS
NEW EL DORADO,
BACKING OF $2,000,000
New York City, March 10. Captain Charles Sutton, former adviser to the late Chang Tso-lin of Mukden, is acting aa chief of a group of Canadian dying argo- nauts who will start to-morrow in search of a new El Dorado in north- west Canadi..
The expedition consists of seven aeroplanes and a group of scientific and practical minors. Their des- tination, if Was intimated, is Tavane Bay, 1,200 miles north of Winnipeg, where they will seek ex- tensive copper and gold claims.
Sutton's own plane is at present at Fairchild Airport, Long Island. He will y it over a route leading through Montreal. Ottawa and Winnipeg, gathering other planes as he proceeds.
Backing of $2,000,000 has been given the expedition, according to Sutton-United Press.
[The "Captain Charles Sutton" mentioned above was
known in Mukden as "General Frank Sutton,” the generalship having been award- ed him by Chang Tsofin in recogni- tion of his services in munitions manufacture,`
Sutton was the chief factor in bringing efficiency into the large arsenal at Mukden. Subsequently he was pushed out of favour, due in part to an untimely presentation. of large financial claims during the time that the Kuo Sung-lis revolt was endangering Chang's position in Makden, but he took charge of construction of a smaller arsenal.
Trench mortars were Sutton's hobby and he improved them in many respects. At one time he was in the British Army.].
