CHINESE SITUATION.
Described in Letters Received from

writes. November 8:

Mrs. Hodous and their children and
Mrs. Newell and their baby all had to
move for fear a battle would rage over
their heads. Hundreds of Chinese have
moved up to Ing-hoK to get away from
FOochow and Mr. HodouS wrote that

erything has been done in a very

we can learn not a foreigner or for

injured. Last nignt word was received
from the consul and the commander of

we come down at once, but everything
is very quiet in Ing-hok and we don't

SCHWANER HEARING
COMES SATURDAY.
Will Be Held Before Referee Browning
in This City.

There is much interest in the hear
ing to be held Saturday before Referee
Amos A. Browning of the bankrupt
estate of c. II. Schwaner of New Lon
don. The hearing is to be held here,
as it is the first hearing. The petition
was filed but about two weeks ago.
At the hearing Saturday the first bust
ness will be the proving of the claims
of the various creditors.
Then will come up the matter of Sc
lection of a trustee. Each creditor
whose claim is proved has one vote in
the election of the trustee. The secured
CT editors, those holding the mort
cages, have no vote
Considerable work will attach to the
trusteeship of this bankrupt estate and
the fee of the trustee will probably
amount to a considerable sum.
The settlement of the bankrupt es-
tate will be quite an involved affair
and will require some months After
an investigation of the assets and
liabilities it can be determined how
much can be paid on the dollar.

C.SA. EMPLOYES IN
 DOUGLAS HAPPY

Every industrial lieutenant connect ed with the Calumet & Arizona smei- ter in this city Is wearing a smile these days in anticipation Of great dOings at the c. & A. works in the near future. 4 special engineering corps is at work making the detail plans for the new plant which is to be erected. Much grading has al- ready been done on the site of the new works and the entire site is be- ing leveled by the deposit of slas which comes from the furnaces. There is commendable pride among the c. & A. boys and they are proud to know that they are soon to lave a smelting plant equal to any in the country. so far as modern equip ment is concerned.
 The tentative plans approved by the board of directors of the com pany are reported to call for two furnaces sixty feet long and which will be the largest furnaces in the southwest. and besides these there will be reverberatory furnaces and roasters similar to those now being installed by the Copper Queen at their Douglas shelter It Is also said that about all of the old CaIu- met & Arizona smelter that will re main in connection with the new plant will be the great engines in the power house.
 The new stack planned for the Calumet will be taller than the one now being built by the Copper Queen which is to rsach three hundred feet skyward. The foundation fOr the big stack at the Calumet is now be- ing put in. so that it may be said that construction work on the pro posed new plant has already been started. though ,s will be some time yet before all the detailed plans will be worked out and after this is com pleted it will require yet more time to get orders filled for required ma terial.
 While nothing definite has been announced by the company ss to the cost of the new plant 1t has been e1sinated that the amount will be not less than one million and quarter dollars and that when once started it will require perhaps a year to complete it
 The employees of the Calumet < Arizona are not the only ones feet Ing good over what is promised for the c. & A. during the next year. as the business men of Douglas fully appreciate the great advantage which the new plant will give to Douglas. both during it's construction and on eration after 1t is completed.
