4 Tombstone DyYJ0end

A late number of the Philadelphia Evening Telegram contains an an. nouncement, by Gov. Stafford, as Presi- dent of the Tombstone NJ. and NJ. Company, of the declaration of a div. idend of ten cents on each share of the company's stock from the earn ings for the month of July. It is thus seen that this company is keeping one more of the promises it has made to the public for itself and for Arizona mining, and for the Tombstone Dis. trict in particular.
 There is little lesson to mining companies and investors in this an. nouncement. It has been nine months since the Tombstone Company began its hard work, aud that work has con. tinued to this time without abatement and under the best kind of manage ment. It is hard to see how the busi- ness could have progressed faster, yet It has taken so long a time to reach the dividend stage. Other enterprises, whose course is not so smooth, should not be condemned if they do not do as much in B longer time, even.

We dislike to have our personal bus mess affairs paraded before the public, and there is only one class of men that would be guilty of such attacks, but when you are in fight you must say something you know, hence, for want of anything worse, we are charged with carrying a mortgage of $500 att per cent, as though that was crime or altered the fact that John P. Cum is editor and proprietor of THE CITIZEN, We think not; at least we believe our success in journalism will depend upon what we put in our paper and not on what we owe for it, and there, too, we believe public in terest will end.

The flaws.

The Sentinel takes up the schoo law as published in the volume sent
 out by Secretary Gosper, and shows what was understood, the Territory over, viz: that the basis of the schoOl fund apportionment was changed ai the last session of the legislature though the published Act leaves it just as it was before. We learn that MT Sherman, in conversations here, last week, gave it as his impression that the number of school children, and not the attendance, determined the ap. portionment; and we are willing to credit the Secretary with the same belief, allowing that carelessness caus. ed mistake in compilation.
 There are other errors ill the book, of the same sort as those noted by the Sentinel, among which we see that the amendment to section 660 of the com piled laws, of the Sheriffs fees, shows no variance from the original act.
 On the 10th of February the Cover nor approved an "Act authorizing and directing the Board of School Trustees of school district No. 1 in the County of Pima, to erect a school building, and for other purposes" ;" This building was to be built of brick, two-stories high, and to cost $20 900, and was to be paid for by levies on the district of $4,OOO a year, with IS per cent. interest. The Board of Trus- tees were directed to commence ad- vertising for proposals on the 1st of March, and were to open bids April 10. The county assessor and the Board of Supervisors were further "direct- ed" to lend their assistance to the trustees, and the treasurer also took a part.
 The passage of this act was un- known in Tucson until long after March l, so that the Trustees probably have good excuse for not obeying the letter of their duty, and through them the other officers are likewlse relieved. But just what would have assisted them out of their scrape, had the Act been certified to the Trustees. we do not see. It was compulsory, and any body could have compelled them to go on and build, at the same time that such school building. and, above all, such an expense, was the last thing desired by property owners of the first school district.
 It was a narrow escape; but another fool-legislature may corner us where we can't get out.

The following communication will be of interest to our taxpayers and possibly to the Board of Supervisors. We comment briefly elsewhere:
 TUCsoS, August 20.
 EDITOR CITIZEN: Having occasion to examine the tax-roll, in order to ascertain my personal responsibility to the " Great Reform Administration of Pima County, accidentally opened the book wherein the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors had affixed his warrant, attested by the Clerk of said Board, commanding the Assessor and Collector to collect $41, ,347.04, and cer- tifving in said warrant that the tax roll has been examined and found cor rect" Imagine my surprise when, re- ferring to the letter D '" of said tax roll l found the taxes of two parties, one a member of the honorable board, not entered or carried out, and in let Ter NJ an error of S24. This aroused my curiosity somewhat and led to fur ther investigation and the discovery that, according to the examined and found correct tax-roll," the county would be loser $421.12, and probably by further investigation a good deal more. do not accuse either Clerk Chairman or member with any crimi- nal intent, but when the affairs of the county, already in debt, are handled SO carelessly and vouched for by the Chairman and Clerk of the Board it is nigh time to ask, who is to blame?

Many sheep are raised in the boundless
