The work about to start up on the Coms.ock will be hailed with delight by the entire Pacific coast and will stimulate deep mining everywhere. When the work ceased five years ago She bottom of the combination shaft was in ore at the 33O0 level. A west crescent showed an immense body of quartz which was as promising for ore IS tbe ChOilar croppings themselves.

DIyfsf0u of Pima.
IStaTk


 The PRosPECTOR is making a strong fight against county division. IL also suggests that southeastern Pima be attached to Coehise. We'll, if the peo- pie of that section want to bo included in COchise county they should have their wish, and fl the people included in the proposed Miles county want to govern themselves, they should have their wish. The Star believes that both Cochise and Graham would be benefited by the creation of Miles county.
 The Star is not an advocate for county division save and except when it will prove to be an economical meas ure for aN concerned. In all proba- bihty two years hence the county of Paiagonit will be created, with No gales as the county seat. At present The population is hardly large enough, but if the people can show that it would be economical to the people to have the county created now, the Star would favor the proposition. The whole subject Of the creation of new counties should be based On the rights and equities of the people affected.

 The PRosPEcroR don't seem to take kindly to the "Miles county" proposi- ton which slices off part of Cochise cniIntr. nnr daas the Graham County
 Bulletin take kindly 10 that same proposition which would slice of Gra- ham county. Where so much terri tory is lying around loose and a large population as that about Wilcox is compelled to travel upwards of hum dred miles, over two different lines of railroad and a stage line to reach the county seat, il looks Co outsiders as though there were really no reason Why ths new county should not be created. How much j0bbery, if any at all, of which the above named jour nais complain, may be in it does not appear on the outside and may be very readily guarded against on the inside. A ist division of the coun- ties named and construction of a new county would not increase the burden of taxation upon the cid counties surely, and if the Wilcox people desire to pay the present expenses Of travet- ing in the form of maintaining a county government of their own, that is their affair.

WASHINGTON CAMP, PIMA Co, A. T.,l February 2d, 1891. { ] EDIroR PRosPECToR: When the
 Duquesne mining company Of this
 place ceased working our burg was
 deserted. None but the old timers re-
 DIained, but of those there exist but
 few. The genial Dave Allen, after | passing several months in Tucson uu-
 der medical treatment, returned and
 reports his having bonded the we'll
 known Pool group Of mines for a good
 round figure. He further states that
 work will soon be commenced there on. So mote it be. Chapin and Ne vile are shipping ore. Two teams are
 regularly employed between their camp and Crittenden. At the Mowry
 things are looming mp. Messrs. Sil- l verberg and Albert Steinfelt, of the firm of L. Zeckendorf & Co.,. owners O. the controlling interest, have deter mined to go 10 work. An old Com stoeker, MT. Swain, has been appointed superintendent. This gentleman com mences work with eight men and will put or more as developments proceed. NIT. Rankin, the former watchman, will take charge of the boarding house. As the mine is known to contain large deposits of mineral all are looking 10 ward 10 better times. The Golden Gate, owned by Boston & Hubbard, GOOde & Paris, are making regular shipments, The Olive still continues 10 add more wealth 10 that already sc- cumulated by Mickey Carol. The chlOridegs on both the American and Blue Nose are satisfied, claiming to make much more than good wages. Useless to mention the Trench; it is now an established fact that Charles Marsden is the coming Croesus. On what is known as the Old Trench Messrs. McDonen and Gross are at work and would not exchange for any of those who work here for wages.
 In Harshaw things are dull, caused principally by the closing of the null and mine CHeFmosa) by Mir. Finley. True il is little chloriding Is being done, but is amounts to very little when compared to former days Messrs Fields, York, Gleason and Fitzsimmons are, from report, holding their own, and Messrs. Powers, Hale, Ashburu and HuIse claim a little more. Shipments not yet having been made by either party. time will see which will lead the other. Neil Me Donald and brother have leased the Hard Shell. and it is an acknowledged fact that they have not less than eight feet of ore where they are at present working. Neil McDOnald, however, has accepted a position Of trust with the MOwry people, and has placed in his stead al the Hard Shell Clay Can't relI, formerly in charge of the Her mOsa. What NIT. Finley intends doing is not known to any one, that gentle man possessing that virtue consisting in "Mum's the word"
 Two weddings have helped to en- liven the camp within the last week or two, the high contracting parties being long res idents O. this nook in the woods. The usual chariyari was of course part Of he performance.
