A
 AND ITS MISSION IN sISBEE.
 The Review has allowed to go un- challenged the many false statements charged against this paper and it's ed itor by the evening blackmaiier. which makes it's appearance in this city every evening. except Sunday. But the continuance of the same. in terspersed with hints and inuendos. calculated to place the Review and it's editor in false light before the citi- zens of Bisbee, demands a statement from this paper
 The Review has been under it's pres ent management for the past five years. It was purchased by Mir. w 5. Kelly from group of Republican and Democratic stockholders. which consolidation occurred after the cam paign of 1900. This stock was all paid for in cash and the entire plant. stock, good will- etc. passed into the hands of W. B. Kelly. The Review has grown from a four-page weekly news paper into it's present eight-page daily form by dint of a good deal of hard la bOr and the rapid increase in popula- ton and wealth in the district. The Review management is not yer satls- fed. and the new year will see aR ad- ditionai enlargement of the Review. placing it at the head of Arizona news papers in point of size, circulation and news service.
 At the time Douglas was laid out as q town the proprietor of the Review organized the Consolidated Printing & Publishing Co., with a capitali- zation of twenty-five thousand dol lars. Of this capitalization w. B. Kelly. Geo H Kelly and A V Kelly own three-fourths of all the stock and absolutely control the editorial coi. umns and business affairs of the com pany. Mir Geo H. Kelly is president Cf the company. and Mr. w B. Kelly is general manager. The remainder of the stock of the Consolidated Print ing & Publishing Co. is held by busi- ness men of Bisbee and Graham coun- ty. and Mir. c. E. Bull, foreman of the nternational-American office at Douglas. is also the holder of a large block of the stock Of the company.
 The above statement is made to contradict the false impression at tempted to be created by the Miner that the editor of the Review owes his position to anyone or is responsible to any person, except the majority stock holders of the Consolidated Printing & Publishing Co.,, which happily, con sists of the Kelly family itself.
 The editor of the Miner, who al one time was associated in the publi cation of the Review, knows these statements 10 be facts and he also knows that during his two years connection with this paper, that its present editor, then, as now, has never consulted any person in Bisbee ol elsewhere regarding the position this paper took, or proposed to take, upon any question, public or private.
 The evening paper has charged thal the Review editor gets it's opinions from the general office of the Copper Queen company. and is pleased to re fer to the Review as the "collared or gan. Since the connection of the present editor of the Review with this paper, extending over a period of five years, the editor has never had occa sion to consult with a Copper Queer official, or any other official, upon ths subject of editorial comment, favora Ia But the Review will inform the sinis ter organ. with biackmailing tenden cies, that so long as the Copper Queer company is under the management O it's present officials, so long as the em ployees of that company are treated al men and American citizens. so long a that company shows no disposition t discriminate against other bushes men of this community, so long as tn liberal and public spirited policy O that company shall continue. just 8 long will the Review be found support ing that company through its col umns
 So much for the "eoilsred" state ments against the Review.
 But we propose to let in some ligh upon the machinations in the house c our evening contemporary.
