A man by the name of Goebel, who
claims to be socialist missionary and
who is travelling through the country
trying to make converts to that polit-
zeal faith held forth on the plaza
Monday night. While the Journal
Miner was not represented at the
meeting" about a score of people
who listened to him as long as their
powers of endurance lasted have re-
ported it as one of the worst TRADES
they ever listened to, devoid of reason
and argument alike and appealing sole
ly to the lowest and basest prejudices
of his hearers. Even socialists have
stated that he does not advocate the
true principles of the order.

An Athens, Ohio, telegram says
George A. Beston, formerly of this
city, has just returned after a success
full business career in New York. To
mark the return he gave "home
coming" dinner to the entire popula-
tion of the CITY," Mr.. BeatOn is we'll
known to a great many people in
Arizona, having visited the terri
tory a number of times. He was
prominently identified with the
financing of the Poland tunnel, the
Tombstone Mining Company and the
"Old Boot" or Imperial Copper Com

Forest Supervisor F. r. Stewart,

The Bisbee Copper Company's tax
suit, like Banquo's ghost and like a
similar suit in Yavapai county "wiIl
not down." The Republican says that
Attorney o. Gibson has brought suit
against M. d. Scribner, tax collector
of Cohise county, asking that writ
of mandamus be issued against Scrib-
ner, compelling him to collect sSS, 200
of taxes from the Copper Queen Co.,
due in 1901. The plaintiffs interest
in the matter lies in the fact that be
holds an agreement with Mr.. Scribner
to act as his attorney in the collection
of these taxes through a suit against
the Copper Queen Co., and that when
the county officials compromised the
tax question with the company the
suit could not proceed and the lawyer
had no chance to earn his fee.
