ARIZONA BEANS PAY
Better Than Gold Mine for Those Who
 Grow Them

Il will have good crop of beans this lxll, there being thirty acres in my patch on the Rillito tba. has been planted in the Arizon variety. Beans are beans, and the Arizona bean is coming to the front ss plump, mesty table food that is not oLly mnch sought for on the ranches and in min ing camps, but on the tables of fsm- lilies in every town m the territory and outside of this common wealth.' W. A: Langthorne, the Riliito dry farmer and railway agent was tine speaker. He WAS preparing Tor re- turn trip ou No. : last evening. NIT. Langthorn said the price of Arizona beans is now $96 per ton or equiv- aleut to four and one-half cents per pound, wholesale. That does look good. and it is no wonder the farmers are turning their attention to the cul- tivation of Arizona beans-Tucson Star.

MEXICO FEELS EFFECT
Of the Recent Financial Panic Had In
 the United States

The shortage of money is being keenly felt by many who are operating properties in Mexico. Tn several in etsnces owners of mining properties have found it impossible to raise tine money needed to pay the mining ground taxes and the ground is re. ver,ing to the government.
 In the immediate vicinity of Cam apea there are fourteen properties on which the taxes are delinquent and it IS expected that several Of these will go back to government lsud.
 The laws in Mexico on mining tax stiou are very strict. Only ninety days are allowed after taxes become due and for each thirty dsys of delin 9uency heavy fine is imposed.
 This situation IS affecting the gov ernment, as the income that was ex pecte6 from the mines is being cur tailed seriously, not only in SoLora but in other mining states.

The lniquitous Scheme
Fails si Support.

With superb equanimity. l Tombstone ''pursues the even tenor of her Way" nor trails her immaculate raiment in the mire by descending to the level of her tradueers.
 Confident in the righteous ness of her contentious, con- fident in the ever repeated sentiment that victory hovers about the banner of right. and confident of the support of a majority Of the brains and sinew and the patriotism oi the broad community of Co., chise county, Tombstone can afford to maintain her dignity amid the multitudinous tangle and manipulations that are planning for her dethrone. ment.
 She relies on the virtues of her cause. She relies on the innumerable facts, grounds and data that underlay tLat cause and vindicate her a'ti tude, and with faith that shall never falter, she feels that the intelligent taxpayer the working man, the busi. ness man, the stock man. and every citizen who is affected by the result, has read, investi' gated and pondered and ana lyzed the situation perfectly without the slightest assis' tance.
 This sorry attempt to up root the right and plant th! upris of wrong and subse quent hardship and disaste' in its stead, has already fel the sting of displeasure iron the intellectual yeomanry O Cochise county in the forn of an overpowering "lettins alone" The movement Ina not met with the slightest sup port beyond the portals of cer tain chambers of com merc' and boards of trade, whicl must throw some species .o dust in the eyes of the publi in order to draw salaries 10 nothing. So long as thei operations are empty and in ocuous, no attention IS paid t' them, but the instant the. launch a movement, imperil ing and jeopardizipg as l does. the rights of majorit,, of the solid tax paying com munity, they find their greed, and irrational work speedil. discountenanced by thesilen' rebellious determination c the masses to take no hand il the iniquitous scheme.
