TOMBSTONE. Februarv 2I. 1873

TOMBSTONE, February q, 1873. ! ED. CITIZEN: Since writing last from nur district, the owners of claims have been busily al work completing assessment work and many claims that before showed but little on the surface have been found to contain consiGera- ble quantities of the precious metals. On the Virginia they have struck a fine body of splendid ore. Also on the Raltle-Snake there is very large belt of mineral The shaft on the Grand Dipper is now down forty three feet and the vein has widened consid- erably and contains some of the rich est ore in camp. The Merrimac is down seventy-fve feet and the ledge IT pay streak is twenty feet wide, which is a wonder in itself, but there are oth- CT valuable prospects adjoining it. The Tombstone company are now bus fly grading lhe quartz road from the mines 10 the mill. and the road party are at work half way between the Lucky Cuss and the mill-site l think an excellent road can be made with but little expense.
 The town of Charleston, lately laid out by Mr. Stowe, al the mlll-site, is Ihe largest town in Tombstone There are a number of adobe houses in course of erection there and an unlimited number of canvass shanties. The streets are wide and regular and the houses being built all in line it begins 10 look as if it would amount to something The timbers for our mines has all to be hauled from the Huachuca noun ,ains and there are loads coming in daily, but il is rather expensive by the time it reaches Tombstone
 Among our visitors this week we have had Mr Smith, Major Morgan's partner, who has been out paying off the miners on the Merrimac. I be- lieve he intends to stay here during the Majors absence Dr. Lord, MT. liar low and Mr Hart, the Indian agent, also paid us visit. E. B. Gage and MT Reed are now out here inspecting some of their recent purchases We are having the most delightful weather, but it is getting rather too warm all al once. VERITAs-

Law and Sense.

Curious comments by judge, even m the presence of the prisoner, though extremely rare, are not unprecedented. Justice Maule once addressed a phe- nomenon of innocence Tn sm'ck-frnck in the following words: Prisoner al rhe bar. your counsel thinks you in nocent: the counsel for the prosecu- ton thinks you innocent; l think you innocent. But a jury of your own countrvmen, in the exercise of such common sense as they possess, which does not seem 10 be much, have found you gully" and il remains that l should pass upon you the sentence or the law. The sentence IS that you be kept in imprisonment for one day; and as that day was yesterday, you may now go about your business" The unfortunate rustic, rather scared, went about hls business, but thought that law was an uncommonly puzzling thing

What George Washington Did nOt Know

| We don'' want to be irreverent but
 would like to ask what did our fore fathers know? What, for instance, did
 George Washington know? He never saw a steambnat; he never saw fast
 mail train; he never held his ear 10 a telephone; he never sat for his picture ID a photograph gallery; he never re ceived a telegraph dispatch; he never sighted a Krupp gun; he never lislen- eel To lhe " tizZ of an electric pen; he never saw B pretty girl run sewing machine; he never saw selfprOpelling engine go down the street to a fire; he never heard of evolution: he never look laughing gus; he never had a set of store teeth; he never attended an international exposition; he never owned bonanza mine; he never knew "Old Prob" He--but why go on |? No; when he took an excursion. it was on a flat boat When he went off on a train, it was mule train. When he wanted 10 talk to man in Milwaukee he had to go there. When he wanted N4o pitNuiC tdhCllf " was uOQt III pro file with piece of black paper and a pair of shears When he got the re- turns from back counties, they had to be brought by a man with an OK cart. When he took aim at the enemy, he had to trust 10 a crook barrelled old flint-lock When he wrote it was with a gOOSe-quill. When he had anything to mend his grandmother had to do 1t with darning needle When he went to a fire, he stood in a line aai passed buckets When he looked aG clam he never dreamed it was any relation of his. When he went t0 a concert he heard cracked fl .dle and an insane clariOnet When he had a tooth pull ed, he sat down and never stopped yell ing. When he got out or teeth he gummed his victuals. When he want ed an international show, he sent for Lafayette and ordered hIs friend up from Old Virginia with Ihe specimen carefully labeled in bottles. When he once got hold of a nugget of gold from an Indian chief, he felt rich. When he wanted 10 know anything about the weather, he consulted the ground hog or the goose bone. When-but why go on? What did such a man know? Who was he, anyway ?-WashingtOn Chronicle

MARIcoPA and Yavapai counties are in for it. They are 10 have a railroad running from Maricopaville to Pres cott Pinal county pays nothing, but the other two counties will put up S30,000 for every ten les of line fin iShed within their borders. We proph- esy that their railroad will be very crooked llne, nnlesS the two counties become completely bankrupt before il is finished. We suppose the scheme is the work of the members of the House and Council from Yavapai and Maricopa. Certainly if they had not wanted the measure to pass, the other counties would not have forced it upon them. But the papers up there talk about the matter in a very sorrogful way,

Territorial Roads.

A great many r"ad bills have passed ! bHth Houses of our Legislature, which. when completed. will, we predict, be i"f unto benefit to our Terril, ry. which k bound in bv ianumerable mountain barriers, wherein lies treas
 ures of untold value. Throw open the
 floors and let capital develop itself, is our mOtiO.-MIner.
 We believe fully in the plan of throwing open Ihe doors and letting capital develop itself; but we are in doubt as to wisdom of the Tcrrlfory's
 expending money in tue manner in- ] dicated. IL is not the business of any State or Territory to make roads; and l 1t Is npt, and never has been the prac tice for them tn do SO. The counties are left to manage those matters for themselves; though their Boards of Supervisors, or privaie enterprise may undertake them under certain restric- tiOn> of law. There is no source more
 fruitful of jobs and loe-rO.ling than this class of projects One man from a county wants an appropriation f,r a road, which the county, if left 10 itself
 would not spend a dollar on. The member from that county soon finds a dozen other members wanting like ap- propfiations, for like needless improve
 menls. They combine, on the exalted principle of you tickle me, &c., ," and the people are compelled to walk up and settle the bills. And the experience .ot this Territory goes to show that It lis useless 10 expect any thing in the shape of a decent road from any such appropriation. Theie is no supervi-- ion of the road while building, and mo care of the things which the con tractors gIve Us, after they are handed over We presume Pima county will havt some of this road plunder. But if the money Is to be spen on con- tracts, as has been the case heretofore, we are unfortunate. We have to pay every dollar spent in taxes; which, if handed over to our own Supervisors would result in three times the benefit to the county that will ever be realized from the appropriation system. We stand emphaiica!ly on the local self
 government platform Tn such matters. If we want a road we are able to make it and pay for il, and we are far better qualified to judge whether We need one than any lot of men gathered from the ends of the Territory. As 10 the development argument, that goes for nothing. Private capital will answer for all its own needs in it's progress in search of the wealth in our hills. If it needs any cooperation, it will gel 1t readily at the hands of the constituted authorities, who have time and oppor- tunity for examination If ils demands. In future times we hope cOmmunica
 ton with the Capital may be more certain, so that, knowing what IS pro- ceedlng, we may urge what we believe is the common sentiment, before the thing has gone beyond remonstrance

COVER THE HILLS"

An aged woman with feeble step tottered into the
Gregory street police station. in Jersey City, last
evening. She poorly clad and in her hand she
carried few lead pencils. She said she was home
less and was without friends, and asked
that lodging be given her for the night.
She gave her name Catherine Gorman,
o native Of Ireland. and said she was in her Tooth
year, her centennial natal day being in Novem.
ber She came to this country seventy years ago
in company with her husband and two young sons.
When her husband died he left her in comfortable
instances. but her boys were addicted to drink
and absorbed her little property in satisfying their
appetites for liquor. Both were long since
dead, and she thrown the worlds
charity. Too independent to beg enter q charta-
BILE titution, she eked out miserable living by
wandering from place place selling lead pencils.
Yesterday she had i'll luck, and had not made sufi
cient to pay for lodging. She was assigned to the
softest bed in the station. She thanked the Sergeant
who was on duty fervently and retired to her room
where for several minutes could be heard her
est prayers.
