ARTHUR GOEBEL SAYS
 JIM HOWARD IS GUILTY

Georgetown, Ky, July 12.-Arthur Goebel declared today that Jim Howard was the man who killed his brother. 'I have had knowledge of this," he said, almost from the hour of my brothers death. I have trailed him from the very moment he left his home in Clay County on Sunday, Janu- ary 2S, until he was landed safe in the jail at Frankfort. I have evidence which will hang him that quick and MT. Goebel gave his fingers a resounding snap.
 Jim Howard is now in jail at Frankfort. He will not be tried until September. His trial will take place at Frankfort
 He is the Clay County feudist and was alleged by the detectives to have been in the room from which Goebel was shot. He was indicted as a principal in the Goebel murder.
 Effort was made today to deprive the commonwealth of one of it's chief witnesses again Caleb Powers, ex-Republican Secre- tary of State, now on trial for complicity in the Goebel murder. The attorneys for the prosecution say it was a scheme of the defense. The story they tell is as follows:
 Finley B. Anderson, aged 21, was the Western Union telegraph operator at Bar bourvlle prior to January 29 last. It was in his fathers hotel that Caleb Powers, John Powers and Charles Finley made their headquarters during the week before the shooting of Goebel at Frankfort on

January 30, and where they organized the Frankfort on January 25
 Young Anderson sent and received all of the messages concerning the organiza- tion of this body of men and was in fre- quent consultation with Caleb Powers. When 1t became known that detectives were seeking the assassin of Goebel, An derson, It Is said, made away with the Jan uary files in the Western Union office at Barboursville and fled to Bristol, Tenn. There he worked in a telegraph office until the latter part of May, when he concluded to tell all he knew concerning the connec- tion of Powers with the assassination. He went to Cincinnati and divulged it to Ar thur Goebel, brother of the murdered man.
 Anderson employed in the Western Union office in Cincinnati till yesterday, when he came here. Last night Lee Stevens, witness for the defense, tried to persuade Anderson to take walk with him. Anderson refused Later he was ap- preached by three other of the defense wit nesses, who made similar requests This afternoon his father arrived and and took his son to the home of Squire Lemon in the suburbs. Young Anderson got a mes sage to Arthur Goebe who, in company with Detective James Fletcher, went to the house and took Anderson away
 Anderson is said to assert that his father wanted him to leave the town and told him that he had mailed him a check and pass to take him out of the State.
 Commonwealth Attorney Franklin said tonight that he intended to order an in- vestigation.

MAN AND MARIONETTE
John Dewitt Warner Defils Difference
 Between Bryan and Mckinley

New York, July EEK Congressman John Dewitt Warner, who was one of the organizers of the gold democrats in 1895, will vote for Bryan and Stevenson. In giving his reasons for supporting the Kansas City ticket, MT. Warner said to- night
 sixteen to one is a matter of taste. It was mighty poor taste to put it in the platform, and of no earthly concern to anybody except to Democrats, in whose platform it is. If we choose to carry a corpse in our procession, that Is for us to decide.
 Personally, I am very much more con- cerned as to what our country is to be permanently than as, to what kind of cur rency 1t may have temporarily
 MT. McKinley's virtue a sound money man is lately acquired, and is no guarantee against his eclipising to the financial heresies he used to have The difference between him and MT. Bryan is that MT Bryan's convictions are so strong that 1t is hard for him to let go of them, and MT. Mckinleys so weak that 1t is hard for him to keep them. The choice be- tween Mckinley and Bryan is, therefore, between a man and marionette, or really between Bryan and Hanna, the manager of the marionette show.
 'In 1896, though I never believed we were in actual danger of going to silver basis I did believe that free silver at 16 to l was the paramount issue. Between that and protection l did not care which whipped, so I voted for Palmer and Buck ner in the hope that we might make consistent Democrats SO many of us, however, went to Mckinley, after having posed as third party men, that as an organization the so-called gold Democrats have no claims upon their party and no right to any courtesy.
 "I consider the question of imperialism the paramount issue in this campaign. It is a much more pressing issue than was slavery forty years ago, as our country is now of greater moment than it was then that part of it known the Confederate States. Had the Union then dissolved no one can now doubt that the great free North and West would have prospered very much, as they actually have done, and that the slave-holding South, unless it had vol untarily freed its slaves, would by this time have become hopelessly doomed to the fate of a slave-holding aristocracy competing with free nations.
 'Our whole country is now at the parting Of the ways If we Indulge in subject col onies, make satrapies and pro-consulships the great prizes of political success, keep increasing our army to supply imperial le- gions for any part of the earth where we wish to interfere, exploit less advanced nations for our commercial gain and allow the executive to assume whatever prerog- atives this extra-constitutional programme involves, we shall get Roman rottenness long before we shall have achieved Ro- man peace.
 "Our ancestors in the Revolution and our fathers in the civil war gave their lives and treasure to keep the country from such fate, and I prefer their idea of country to that of Hanna, Abner Mckinley and Grosvenor."

IFrou the Phoenix Enterprise.l

From the Phoenix Enterprise.l Article of incorporation of the Aztec Mining company have been filed with the county recorder of Marieopa county. The incorporators are J. Nj. Evans, J. ". Mccoy. c. W. Carrothers and J. ". Yocum, all men of means and familiar with mines and mining. The group of mines owned by this company consists of six claims located sixty miles south of Casa Grande, Pinal county, in the San Pedro mountains. The claims are copper, gold and silver, the principal mineral being copper. It is a comparatively new district for copper, yet it is not far from the famous yekol mine which has pro- duced many millions of silver, the mine once owned by the late John D. Walker.
 The mineral in the Aztec group is found in three parallel dykes. Water can be found at a depth of from 50 to 75 feet, and there is a good wagon road all the way to Casa Grande. Sufii- cient fuel is near at baud and it is said wood in any quantities desired can be procured at from 8 to $2.50 per cord, delivered at the mill.
 The Excelsior mine is located on as heavy 8 chimney or blowout as has ever been discovered. This clain on the surface is from 8 feet to 40 feet in width and carries high percentage of native copper, bornite, gray and red oxides and car bonates. The iron crop pings show for width of 150 feet. The dip of the vein into the mountain is 50 degrees, with strong showing for rapid development. The Fl Bueno, Eclipse and other claims are equally promising and of similar formation.
 In the immediate vicinity on the eastern extension of the same zone is the Milwaukee Prospecting and Min ing Co. $ gronp of ten claims under the management of Mr. Pony Price. There is found the same quality of ore and the company is pushing downward as fast as cash will do it. Captain Dolly and Mir.

Tailings. The last-named was small four-page afternoon daily, but vas rather lively, and furnished it's staid old afternoon contemporary, the Citi- zen, with a considerable amount of matter for worry and wonder. 1 re- eeived no telegraph dispatches, while the Citizen had q 80 q week Associated Press budget, yet, in spite of this, succeeded quite frequently in scuoping the esteemed contemporary on tele- graph news, so that it's subscribers would occasionally ask the editor wky he could not compete with such small and insignificant rival. It hap pened that the Los Angeles Herald arrived in Tucson in the forenoon with a considerable budget of teie Erapo news, much of which had not been sent down to Arizona. By picking out the most interesting of this stuff, padding 1t a little, and giv- ing prominence to anything that was specially Interesting to the Territory, a very fair budget of fresh" telegraph news was obtained. One of my biggest scoops on the Citizen was when Gen. Grant was dying. The end had been approaching for several days and his demise was expected at any moment. We had full description in the Los Angeles paper of the previous day, and only awaited the report of his death. The Citizen was published in the next building, with an adobe wall between the two back yards. As soon as the first copy of the Citizen was off the press it was handed over the wall l by a friendly printer. It contained the news of Grants death, which was quickly hurried into type, and the Teilings, with the full report, was on the street before the Citizen.
 "The Quijotoa Prospector was as short-fived es the mining camp in which it was published. In order to head of possible competition, the first few numbers were set up in the office of small weekly in Tucson, while awaiting the arrival of a frst-class printing outfit that had been ordered from San Francisco. The office in ques- ton had scarcely enough material to do it's own work, and consequently the early numbers of the Prospector consisted of little six-column, four page weekly, presenting an aston ishing array of type of all shapes and sizes, some of which had been knock ing around on the frontier for quar- ter Of century.
