STEWART OWED S.

CAPTURED SINGER VAN
IN THE CITY JAIL
Peculiar Reason Given for
Theft Believed That Woman

Wife--A. Queer Story

That a man would run the risk of the
penitentiarY by stealing a horse and
wagon and two sewing machines be-
cause he owe ~, appears a trifle re-
m%arkable. That. however. is the
reason given by Jack Stewart, the Sin
ger sewing machine agent who was
brought back from Corona, n. NJ.
Tuesday night and placed in Jail here.
II was at first Manned to bring
Stewart back overland in the wagon,
but the latter was SO badly dildpidatcd
and the party, including Mrs. Stewart,
20 large, that it was found more prac-
ticable to come back on the train.
Stewart, who left here via Tiier5ss
canyon about a week ago, on arriving
at Corona, cut the top off the Singer
wagon he was driving and traded it off
getting $40 to boot for the outfit. Tile
bay pony and wagon were both recoV-
cred and a man viii! be sent after
them. It is understood that Stewart
did not take a machine with him. as
stated, but disposed Of two machines
here before leaving.
Yesterday he took the police to the
home Of a Mexican family in the
northwest part of town, where one OF
the machines was found. He at FIRST
offered to take the police to another
one in the south end Of the Highlands,

showed up with a board bill. Soon at

financial condition should allow his
March pay to lapse thus long is hardly
credible, and the order is for sale
cheap.
There is no Jail at Corona and tho
officer there, J. c. Beatty, was COM

DOUGLAS SHELTERS.

The operatios of The smelters in
Douglas are continuing much the
same as during the last two months,
ar since the nolicv of -curtailment OF
production was Inaugurated. The
Calumet and Arizona is now running
the maximum number OF furnaces;
this plant consists of five furnaces,
but only four have ever been operat-
ed at one time. For nearly two months
only three were in operation.
At the Copper Queen smeiter six
furnaces continue in commission and
the product last month was something
more than one million pounds to each
furnace, making the total about one
third of the average product for the
first six months of this year.
Construction work is being contin-
ued at both the smelling plants and
there yet remains great deal to be
done to complete the enlargement
plans agreed upon during the early
part of 1907 At the Queen there is
no disposition to hurry any of this
work, still few men are kept en-
ployed on it; at the G. and A. con-
struction work shows more activity.
It is estimated that the number Of
men who received pay checks this
week from the two smelters was
something over 1000, which is sufi-
cient to show that Douglas has not
been so badly hurt by the recent dis
turbance in the price Of copper.
While nothing definite is known
about the future there is a good feel
ing of confidence in the Smelter City
and it is expected that with the begin
ming of the new year viii come an In
crease in the copper product at the
local smelters.

has been sent to the Douglas smelt-

there has been materially increased.

Superintendent F. Q. Young Of the
Roy Consolidated mine was in Doug

new cyaniding plant, recently com

nicely and that the results are quite
satisfactory; the small stamp mill was

Good reports continue to come from

ore was cut in. a drift higher up and
the present drift is said TO be nearing
