FIR yEa w, .s MYTH.

MT. R. J. hartman, chief of the di- vision of accounts of the General Land office, is in Tucson, on business con nec!ed with his bureau. Mir. Hart man, in response to a question con- corning Fred w. Smith, the festive whilom Receiver of the Land Office in this city,, who decamped with many thousands of the peoples money, stated that the gentleman was living In Montreal, Canada, and could be had whenever the United States Jar .hal of this Territory desired to go after him. MT. Smith is sailing under the nom de plume of w. s. Fredericks, and appears to be flush with money. The Marshal at Windsor reports that he frequently takes the ferry and crosses into Detroit. perhaps with the view of breathing the air of his native land.--[ Citizen.

All Hail!

The work about to start up on the COmstock will be hailed with delight by the entire Pacific coast and will stimulate deep mining everywhere. When the work ceased five years ago the bottom of the combination shaft was in ore at the 3300 level. A west crosscut showed an immense body of quartz which was as promising for ore as the Chollar croppings themselves. The hydraulic and Cornish pumping plants of the Combination handled 4,20O, 900 gallons of water per day.

Not Democratic.

ED. PRosPECToR: The people arc with you against county division: not that division is wrong, but because the means to bring it about gre wrong. Il a county in Territory can be divided by the simple asking for it by few men who are to be benefited thereby without consulting the wishes of the people who have the greatest interest at stake, then is our form of govern ment no longer republic, but a nameless form of oligarchy. To be sure, l live in the new county to be formed, but am not in favor of divis ion, and believe the large majority of people are opposed to it. I own property in Tombstone, and to move my county seat to Wilcox without giv- ing me voice in the matter is noth-. ng more or less than confscation not only of my property but my rights. If a county can be split in two with out the consent of the people, why can nota city be disincorporated with out the'r consent? Why can not special school tax be levied without consulting those who are to pay the tax? When our laws are so lax that Legislature will listen for a moment to plea of handful of men packing a jug of whisky in one hand and sack in the other as their petition for so greatan undertaking as dividing a county, then indeed is it high time to amend the laws and put an end to such undemocratic methods of attain ing such questionable legislation.

GOOd Ore.

The recent strike just over the crest of the Whale-Mammoth bill (of the Larrimore group of mines), in the Swisshelm mountains, is said to be looming up and MT. c. F. Hines is a prospective bondholder and coupon cutter. The ore is very soft lead chloride of an ashy yellow tone, run. ming well, according to report, in both lead and silver, lies tolerably fiat, has a north-south course, with a western dip and is gaining in strength. Over twenty tons of ore have been extracted since Christmas.

Carr Says So.

General Carr has given an account of his experience in the Sioux cam paign, in which he gives the president the credit CD of avoiding an Indian war. We give it in his own words:
 "Thc success of the management was most wonderful. The president ordered Gen Miles "to prevent an h. dian war;" he called on the troops to exercise great patience, and the result has been that while some military men have suffered, as policemen do in riot or strike, not one civilian has been killed, not one woman outraged, and not one babe strangled, something which has never before occurred after an Indian was killed.

Division of Pima.
lStar,T


 The PRosPECToR is making a strong fight against county division. It also suggests that southeastern Pima be attached to Cochise. We'll, if the peo- pie of that section want to be included in Cochise county they should have their wish, and if 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 all concerned. In all proba- billty two years hence the county of Patagonia 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 PRosPECToR don't seem to take
 kindly to the "Miles county" proposi-
 tion which slices off a part of Cochise
 county, nor does the Graham County
 Bulletin take kindly to that same
 proposition which would slice off Gra-
 ham county. Where so much terri
 tory is lying around loose and 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, it looks to outsiders as though there were really no reason why the new county should not be created. How much jobbery, if any at all, of which the above named jour- nals complain, may be in it does not appear on the outside and may be very readily guarded against on the inside. A jast division of the coun- ties named and construction of new county would not increase the burden of taxation upon the old counties surely, and if the Wilcox people desire to pay the present expenses of travel ing in the form of maintaining county government of their own, that is their affair.

WASHINGTON CAMP, PIMA Co.,, A. T..) February 2d, 1891.


 EDITOR PRosPEcToR: When the
 Duquesne mining company of this place ceased working our burg was deserted. None but the old timers re- mained. but of those there exist but few. The genial Dave Allen, after passing several months in Tucson un- der medical treatment, returned and reports his having bonded the we'll known Pool group of mines for 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 up. Messrs. Sil- verberg and Albert Steinfelt, of the firm of L. Zeckendorf & Co.,, owners Of the controlling interest, have deter mined to go to work. An old Com stocker, MT. Swain, has been appointed superintendent. This gentleman com mences work with eight men and will put on more as developments proceed. MT. 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 fo ward 10 better times. The Golden Gate, owned by Boston & Hubbard, Goode & Paris, are making regular shipments. The Olive still continues to add more wealth 10 that already ac- cumulated by Mickey Carol. The chloriders 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. McDonell 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 mll and mine (Hermosa) by MT. Finley. True it is little chloriding is being done, but it amounts to very little when compared to former days Messrs. Fields, York, Gleason. and are, from report, holding their own, and Messrs. Powers, Hale, Ashburn and Hulse claim 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 position of trust with the Mowry people, and has placed in bis stead at the Hard Shell Clay Can't rell, formerly in charge of the Her mosa. What MT. Finley intends doing is not known to any one, that gentle man possessing that virtue consisting in "Mum's the word."

County Division.

A letter received to-day from Phe- nix conveys the gratifying informa- ton that not member from Cochise is in favor of county division and the joint councilman from the Southern District is friend to our county in every way that will tend to its ad- vancement as geographically outlined at the present. The gentleman fur nishing the information also says that the bill will die in the Council, and that when reported it will have an amendment to it taking from Pima the Nogales country north to the 32d parallel. Even with this concession to Cochise it is not expected that the bill will make showing worth men, tioning.
 The Tucson Star, in speaking of the division of Cochise, takes kindly to it in the following way:
 A bill has been introduced into the Legislature to create the county of Miles. It will be taken from Cochise and Graham, with Wilcox as the county seat. There appears to be strong opposition to the bill, princi- pally from Cochise. It ought not to be difficult to determine the qutstion. If the people who would be included in the new county can govern them selves at no greater expense to the tax payers than is now imposed upon. them with the additional advantage of convenience, then they should be granted their request. If it will cost them more to maintain the new coun- ty than under present conditions, then it is questionable unless the conven. fence to a new county seat would compensate for the additional ex- rense.
 The Star does not consider the Co., chise county of the future and says nothing regarding the proposed loss of a few thousand square miles of Pima county.
