DIVISION AND ADMISSION.

The Seattle Post Intctt.gencer has
the following very sensible view of the
situation, and we trust it will be ad-
hered to by the press Of the Sound,
and echoed by tho press Of Eastern
Washington and North Idaho, aud
that Brentz will also adhere to the
same views to the last, end not be in
timidated by the frivolous objection
urged by Ainslie against the union Of
North Idaho with Washington in the
admission. The geographical position
Of these Northern counties, the com
mercial and social relations of the
people and their universal desire to 50
to Washington are matters that should
ever outweigh all such measures Of
policy as Ainslie attempts to urge as o
bad precedent.
In considering tho question Of Ter.
ritorial division, local narrowness il
to be seen that il painful. A few per.
sons in Olympia would be willing ia
have tho Territory cut down to the
limits Of Thurston county if therein
was their only chance Of retaining the
capital. Another little clique in Walla
Walla would cut and carve Oregon,
Washington and Idaho so as to make
Walla Walla center, and secure fol
it the patronage and honors incident
to a Territorial or State capital. These
persons are so intensely selfish in their
aims as to render them incapable oi
advancing any argument that will
hel lp their cause.
| In matter like this we should sink
oil local consideration, and we bcliev,
the people generally do. Here, for
instance, we favor the admission 0
Northern Idaho, though in doing 81
We know that tho eastern part OF thu
Territory or State will be the bigge
part by two to one, and in population
will exceed US for long time to come
if not for all timc. 1t will be within
the power Of the eastern counties t
> locate the capital and other State in
stitutions where they choose, and the
, may subject us on tho Sound to som
inconvenience in consequences. Still
in the greater good to the greater nun
Der, in the satisfaction to be derive
. from earlier admission to Statehood
and from tho pride We feel in bcin
part of one OF the greatest States {
tho Union, these things will dwindl
= into insigniticance, and will not b
$ considered as Of the weight Of stra
or feather.
The proposed State of Weshingto
will be magnifcently constituted Il
g a great and glorious future. Its al

increase of new and valuable finds and large investments. The mineral resources of this county are simply marvellous, but are only one of the factors that most certainly tend to the rapid advancement of the busi- ness interests of Tombstone. Trib. utary to our young city in all direc- tions are vast mesas that would af- ford pasturage for thousands upon thousands of head of stock, rich val leys that only need irrigation to pro- duce bountiful crops and sustain a large population. Within the next few months the cold streams of the Huachucas will be running through our streets. Following the comple- ton of this pipe line will be the erection of mills at the mines. In a few weeks at most grating is to be commenced for the railroad from Contention to this city, There is every reason for encouragement in the outlook of the new year, and we predict for Tombstone and its ad. jacent camps a progressive era of prosperity.

REPORT OF CORONER's JURY

On the Body of J Gardner-Lack of
 Evidence and Derelfction Of Duty.
 We the undersigned, the jury summoned by the coroner of Cochise county to invest. igate as to the cause and manner of death of the body which has been submittedzte our inspection, and who the person wSs, after viewing the body and hearing such testimony as has been brought before us, find that his name was J. Gardner, age and nativity unknown that he came to his death in the county hospital of COchise county, at Tombstone, on the l1tb day of January, A. D., 1882. from the effects of gun-shot wounds inflicted by an unknown party to this jury-this jury having no evidence ss to the matter.
 It further appears, from the evidence or the coroner, that he issued subp9nas and placed them in the hands of the sheriff of Cochise county for one Dan L ahy and Tex. Johnson, who keep saloons on the Babarcomari, and both of whom reside there within a short distance of the town, and that instructions were given to the sheriff to procure such other witnesses as might give information to the coroner's jury of the cause of death of said Gardner; that said subpenas were placed in the sheritfs hands five days prior to this date; that no return has been made upon said subpenas by the sheriff, and no witnesses have appeared before us, and this jury is unable to render any fuller verdict than as above stated. And this jury believe, ir this matter, the sheriff has been derelict ip- his duty to the people. [Signedl, J. F. Hutton, Harvey Wooley, c. J. McLennon, U. D. Goffney, U. H. Wells, Laurence Robertson.

Corporations have been said to be soul. less, and while this dses not always apply, in the case of the Southern Pacific it seems to be just criticism. A few days since there died at the Grand hotel in this city young man named Charles Carter, who, from letters found among his effects, had not only been an employe of the Southern Pacific company of long stand. ing. but upon quitting their employ had received strong recommendations of char. acter. Stricken down by sickness, his funds became exhausted ere Death closed the portals. Friends and strangers here united in doing all they could for the suf. ferer, and now unite in paying the South- ern Pacific $50 tor carrying the remains to California, the management of that rail- road, although fully appraised of the facts, positively refusing to allow this last act of courtesy to faithful servant.

Railroad Plans and Protects.

BosToN, Jan. 21.-A circular will be issued to morrow from the office of the Atlantic < Pacific railroad, calling for $l6,500.000 for the com pletion of the road upon such terms as will avoid the intervention of construction company and secure the profits to the subscribers. Simul- taneously the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe will issue circular notify ing the stockholders of their right to subscribe.
 Huntington, of the Central Pacific, is negotiating with the Union Pacific for joint construction of the line from Mohave, on the Southern Pacific railroad in California, northeast to a junction with the Utah Southern, branch of the Union Pacific, in southwestern Utah. This would give the Union Pacific system direct outlet to southern California, and, y way of the California Southern rail road, to the port of San Diego.

THE WINCHESTER DISTRICT.
The First Gsod News Fully Verified

The First GsOd News Fully Verified.
 The party consisting of George Hearst. of San Francisco, J. H. Jackson and George A. B. Berry, of this place, who left for the new discovery at the Point of Mountains, now known as the Winchester district, returned last evening little after : o'clock. Our reporter did not have an opportunity of interviewing Mir. Hearst after hls return, but Messrs. Jackson and Berry did not escape the reportorial sagac- ity. Mr. Jackson submitted rough, but excellent sketch, of the principal ledge, showing three locations which all show rich mineral at various points. Mir. Jack son says that the showing is good for an undeveloped property, and the mines bid fair to be of great value. All concede the description given by MT. Berry, after his first return, to have been perfectly accur. ate. George declares MT. Hearst to be one of ihe most philosophic and pleasant tray. cling companions under diversity that he ever met. This is more than could be truthfully said of most millioniares. As class they would except all the luxury of the Palace hotel on such trip. It IS a pleasure to note the favorable opinion of this party on the new find. We believe de. yelopment will show Cochise county to be richer in minerals than any other similar spot In the United States

A GRAVE CASE.

The report of the coroner's jury on the body of J. Gardner reflects anything but credit upon the sheriff of Cochise county. On the 11th inst. Gardner died in the county hos pital from gun-shot wounds inflicted in a railroad camp on the Babar- oomari, and on the 18th inst. cor oner's jury was convened on the body. It appearing that the case was an aggravated one, that the de- ceased had been deliberately pierced with four shots, and that the crime had been committed in the presence of a number of witnesses, the jury adjourned until yesterday in order to obtain witnesses and on the 18th subpenas were placed in the hands of the sheriff for one Dan Lehay and another man known as Tex John son, two rival saloon keepers. Per suant to adjournment of eight days coroner's jury met yesterday, and are forced, through the criminal negligence of ten-per-cent sheriff, to submit to the public the report to be found in our local columns. It is stench and lasting disgrace to our new and promising county that the ends of justice are thus thwarted by an officer who has an ample corps of deputies, who could, at least, make a return. The Tucson papers of the 20th contain accounts of the killing of a Mexican and American on two succeeding nights, and in this dere- fiction of duty new impetus will probably be given to the satanic work in the iron-tie camp, but then, Cochise should be content, for do we not have the inestimable privilege of paying $120,000 taxation as we'll as 10 per cent thereon? And should not a lightning calculator whose time and figures Tn the early days of Yavapai are unequalled in es- timation of apportionment of repre- sentation be sufficient boon? Our blessings are many and we should rejoice.

RAILROAD COMPANY,
To the Rich Mines of the Santa Cata- rinas, the Coal Fields and the Tim ber Lands of the North.

ber Lands of the North.
 From the Citizen, January %.
 Another railroad project is on foot which promises to add to the import ance of Tucson and bring our city in direct communication with the rich mines of the Santa Catarinas, the ex- tensivc coal fields on the Deer Creek, and the timber lands in the north. eastern portion of the territory.
 Dr. K. Kane, whose means and en. terprise are always on the lookout for projects which tend to develop the great resources of the territory and pro6tably employ capital, is earnestly engaged in pushing this movement. The company which is to take this matter in hand propose to build three-foot gauge road along the route now travelled by the Santa Catarina stage lire round the point of the mountains to the Oracle mlne, where, in addition to the mines in the vicinity, ex-Mayor R. N. Leatherwood, who is also actively furthering the project, has a large ranch. From the Oracle camp the road will be run by the most feasible route to the American Flag mine; from the American Flag to the camp of the Santa Catalina Copper Com pany; from that point, over the road already built by the Santa Catarina Company to the San Pedro valley; down the valley to the Gila river; up the Gila to the mouth of Deer Creek, and from thence to the coal fields, where numerous coal fields have been secured by the projectors of this enterprise.
 It is the further intention of this company, as we are informed, to con- tinue the road until it reaches the Atlantic & Pacific.
 This line will open up one of the richest mineral sections in the terri tory pass through rich river valleys, bring the coal fields into direct com munication with the mines which need their product to extract bullion, and also bring Tn the timber of the northeast to supply the destitute sec. tions of the southwest.
 It will also, if constructed to the Atlantic X Pacific, give us an eastern outlet which will benefit every miners interest of this city and the country through which it is projected. We are informed that a number of our leading business men and capi- talists are backing this scheme, and that eastern capital has already con- sidered the project favorably.

CHEAP ICE.
A Company Organized, the Machinery Ordered, and Contracts Made with Consumers.

A Company Organized, the Machinery Ordered, and Contracts Made with Consumers.
 MT. w. K. Leverdge, to whom our city owes the credit for an ample supply of cheap water, upon leaving the service of the Tombstone Water, Mill and Lumber company, immediately took steps to again benefit the people of Tombstone, by the manufacture of and supply of cheap ice. In this enterprise he IS backed up by several well known, San Francisco capi- talists. The first step towards consummat ing his project was to secure the patronage of the heaviest consumers in the city This was an easy matter, for his price was SO libera! that even the least consumer would be saved one-half over former prices Heretofore they have paid seven cents per pound, and hereafter they will pay but three to three and onc-half cents per pound, the rate depending upon the amount con stunned. Forty-fi of the chief consumers have signed contracts with Mir. Leveridge for period of one year. It is the inten- tion of MT. Leveridge to supply families at the same rate that he does other consum. CTS, which will be great boon, as during the summer season in this warm climate ice becomes almost necessity m every household.
 A three-ton low pressure binary absorp- tion machine has been ordered from H. Bloomfield, the San Francisco agent of the New York Ice Machine company, who own the French patents for this, the best machine manufactured. The substance used to produced congelation is, as its name implies, compounI of two sub stances, it being ethylo-sulphurous-dioxide, and does its work by absorption of the latent heat in the water It freezes solid blocks eight inches thick in twenty-four hours, and the ice has all the solidity of that cut from lakes or rivers.
 The works will be built near the city, and will be commenced as soon as MT Leveridge returns from San Francisco, which will be in about two weeks, as he leaves this morning for that place. While absent all the details of the company will be completed, and he will return with the boiler, engine and machine ready to set up. Next to bringing in water and reduc- ing the price one.half, this is the most i'm portant enterprise of domestic nature that has been introduced into our city, and Mir. Leveridge is deserving the thanks of the entire community for the energy he has displayed since he came among US. When the works are set up the EPITAPH will give its. readers a more complete de- tail description of the process, which is said to be not only the most complete for ice manufacture, but also for the prescrva- tlen of meats, fruit and other perishable commodities, as il can be applied to large rooms in which such articles are stored.

Notwithstanding the rapid strides with which this camp has gone for ward to success during the past year, everything seems to point to an eclipsing boom in 1882. The natu- ral climatic advantages of our coun- try are a prime mover against the northern camps, and capitalists and prospectors who can not operate to advantage in the snow-bound camps at the Sierras and Rockies have come among us by the hundred, and are making their presence felt by the
