he never has been caught prosecuted
Every fall Newell Bear and his oldest son go into
the woods and stay until spring, when they come
out with great quantities of furs and make an
annual trip to Boston and New-York where they
find good market. The old chief has always en-
joyed good health but about ten years ago he sud
denly began grow weak and lose flesh and II
thought that he was going to die. "Oh. WE'LL
said his neIghbors ''ninety-fOur years is a fine old
age; you can't expect to live much longer any
way" To this the old chief gave grunt of dis
sent. and took himself TO the woods. saying that
diet OF beaver meat would make him young
again. At once, he says, he felt strength,
and his appearance to-day certainly bears his
assertion that beaver beats the so-called
magic spring OF youth, the Allegash, all hollow
for the purpose OF making a young again.

was false when he wrote it, but the men who imported dirty Bili' knew the calibre of the man they needed to do their dirty work. The Review has published the ordinances as required by law, enacted by. the city council. and has charged for that service much less rate than for other adver. tisements of a similar nature. Fur. ther than this, the rate charged by the Review is about half that charged by the official city papers in the towns of Tucson, Phoenix and Prescott. And still further, the law requires the pub Iication of the official minutes of the council proceedings, which has been dong from time to time by the Review without charge to the city. And, again, when the council resolved to have the ordinances printed in book form for the convenience and guid. anee of the people, also the legal blanks for the city, the city clerk wrote to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix and Tucson for bids. The Re- view submitted it's figure to the eoun cil for doing the work and was award the contract because it WAS THG LOWEST BIDDER. The Review did not promise the council or the peo- pie of Bisbee that the publishing of the ordinances would be free. This IS the manner in which the city of6 Bisbee has fared at the hands of the Review and the council and the city clerk know that their advertising and printing has been done at less price than that paid by any other incorporated city in Arizona. These are the facts and the Miner cannot dodge them.
 0. Would the Review have taken the stand that it is now wont to as sume if the Miner had not called the attention of the public to the mill stone that is being put about its neck by the editor of that paper?
 The Review stands now where it has always stood-in favor of an eco nomiaI city government, properly ad- ministered for sanitary reasons, bet ter fire protection and a townsite pat ent. The files of this paper show where the Review stands and has al ways stood.
 o. Would the Review pay any at tention to the evils that exist and are amenace to the welfare of the public were it not for the Miner forcing it to do SO?
 That's another sunfIower bouquet thrown by the Miner devil at the Miner editor that has decided "yeI- Iow"streak.
 Now that the Review has answered the Miner knockers" we would like to know a few things ourselves which
 the editor of the Miner can answer,
 if he will.
 First-What particular business
 does the Miner refer to when 1t states
 that the receipts have fallen oil 50 , per cent?
 Second-Why is S. K Williams and the attaches of his court so anxious for disincorporation?
 Third-Why don't you join with ths Review in pointing out the way to tn;

THE REVIEW ON
 INCORPORATION
POSITION OF THIS PAPER WELL
 KNOWN TO READERS

The Review Has Called Attention to
 Some Neglect on Part of the
 Council Which This Paper Does
 Not Endorse
 The Miner, which has repeatedly branded itself as a monumental liar, whether in the discussion of public questions or public officials, and slashes around like an infuriated bull, for one issue. and then occupies the next in throwing bouquets at itself, has tackled the Review in it's issue of August 3O This will prove the hardest proposition the Miner has gone up against yet. The Review has built up from almost nothing to one of the leading dailies in Arizona and this has been accomplished by dint of hard work and perseverance For the position of the Review on all mat ters affecting the welfare of this com munity the Review has no apology to offer. Its course, in regard to the in- corporation of Bisbee, is well known to its readers and patrons, and the subscriptions and advertising patron age with which this paper has been favored is evidence that its course has been endorsed The Miner seeks to work up sentiment against incor- poration by throwing the Review into the breach and directing it's fire at this paper and its management. h its issue of the 3Oth the Miner asks the Review seven questions, all oi which this paper takes pleasure in answering for the benefit of the be nighted brother:
 0. Has the city spent one dolla' for sanitation since it has become in corporated?
 Yes. And if the council would fol low the wishes of the people in thi' matter, police regulation, would fol the time being, be abandoned, ant every available dollar spent in thi. direction.
 O. Has not the streets, trails ant stairways gone to rack and ruin sine incorporation?
 The track and ruin" phrase is tn work of a vivid imagination on tn part of the editor of the Miner. I'm recent heavy rains have left some o the passaeeways in bad condition but the street commissioner is rem. dying this evil as fast as possible.
 O Has not business in Bisbe fallen oil 50 per cent since incorpors ton?
 This is almost too silly a questio for answer. The Miner knows 1t hs not. Bisbee and the surroundin country was never in more prospe ous condition than at the present, an the outlook for the future neve brighter (even according to your ow columns, Mir. Miner Editor).
 o. Has not the Review joined looting the city treasury to the SUI of $400 or $500 per month?
