3O0,C00. Exclusive of said sink ing fund and annual interest, a large per cent of this revenue is paid into the territorial, general and school funds besides, no inconsid erable amount of the same is appor- toned to the county school and contingent funds, leaving but 8 modicum of revenue for the coun- ty general fund.
 4th. The effect of any division of Apache county, would naturally re- duce the assessable property, and sequentially, the revenue therefrom to at least one-half. Even with our present high rate of taxation, (three per cent. on each $100), it is barely possible to pay the run ming expenses, and to keep up the various funds required by law.
 9th. Now, this being our condi- ton with expenses for one county government, how is it possible to double these expenses, by the crea- ton of another county, and to pay this donble expense with but half the taxable property for each? This is simply mathematical question of the easiest and clearest demon stration.
 9th. The credit of the county be- ing pledged to ifs bond-holders, and this credit being based upon it's taxable property, it is clearly breach of contract, honestly entered into by both parties to the agree ment, for the county of Apache to divide its revenues, thereby endan- gering its golyency and impairing its ability to pay it's just debts leavin g out the fact, of bad faith towards, and dishonorable treat ment of, it's numerous creditors in good faith. Let us hope good sense will prevail, and that no divi- sion of counties will be permitted by the powers that be.

County Division.

demonstrations against county division are being circulated about Prescott. just now, and are being numerOusly signed.
 The movers and projectors of the new county are hard at work, and have gone so far as to make the most important move, i. C., to raise a sack. It is stated that several thousand dollars have been raised and as much more piedgel to secure this object. The new county will bear the euphoneous name of "Co- conino," and will include major portions of Yavapai and Apache The projectors ofthis empire have placed their metes and bounds about as follows: Commencing between the 112 and 113 meridian of longitude, or just south of Knab, Utah, runs down until 1t reaches the Black Hills near Big Chino valley, follows the crest of Big Chino to about five miles south of Camp Verde to the third stand ard north ; thence to 10th meridian  due north to the Utah line; thence west to the place of beginning. These boundary lines take in Hol- brook, St. Joseph, Hardy, Woodruff, Moqui Indian reservation. Sunset, Winslow, Dennison, Canyon Diablo, Angel, Flagstaff, Bellemont, Chalen- der, Williams, Supai, Fairview, Ash Fork, Pinneyetq, Jerome, Camp Verde and Cottonwood, and extend thirty miles west of Ash Fork, or or within twenty miles of Prescott Junction. Tonto Basin is left in this county.
 The area of the proposed county will be nearly 10000 square miles, or 5000 less than the State of New York. By its formation Yavapai andApache counties will be reduced one-h e-half.-JOurnal Miner.

Division of Counties.

The proposition to divide Apache into two counties, or even to segre- gate part, is one which We sincere ly hope the members of the Eff teenth Legislative Assembly will properly consider, ere they serious ly entertain such an undesirable and vicious measure. As matters of argumentable facts, there are many serious questions in this connection, which should be well weighed, thoughtfully and in telligently considered, before the passage of an Act dismembering this, or any other one of the exist ing counties.
 We will now enumerate the afore- mentioned facts, bearing upon this subject, in their natural order, viz :: 1st. The amount of bonded indebt- edness. 2nd. The amount of float ing indebtedness. 3d. The amount of assessable property. 4th. The effect of any division upon the credit of the several counties. 9th. The cost of running two county governments in lieu of one. 9th. The impairment of contract The foregoing enumerated facts are mat ters of vital importance to the life of the several counties.
 The many thoughtless advocates for division, never, as a rule, stop to consider what would be the f. nancial effect of division upon the old as setl aIsS1tho newly crea- ted counties, but appear to think and actas though the only question at issue is simply division and noth- ing more.
 Now let us look at these facts and their particular application to Apache county.
 1st. The bonded debt of Apache county, as shown by the official rec ords, is exactly $109,000, in seven per cent interest bearing bonds. These bonds are now in the hands of capitalists, and the credit of the county, represented by its taxable property, is solemnly pledged to their payment; in other words. there is specific contract entered into between Apache county, as the party ofthe first part, and the hold CTS of these bonds, as the parties of the second part. Therefore, it is a self evident proposition, that any division of the assessable property surely weakens the county's ability to pay the interest on, and final re- demption of such bonds. Further more, 1t is not only reasonable. but is evidently sensible to suppose, the purehasers ofIhese bonas would not, or. perha apss s0dhavJlk lkbaght : twice, ere they gave ''par value and accrued interest" for them, had they supposed there to be a remote pos sibility of Apache county being di- yided.
 2d fine amount of our floating indebtedness, represented in out standing county warrants, and which are drawing interest at the rate of ten per cent. per annum, is in round numbers S42,00O; and for their payment the credit of this county is also pledged.
