VERDE CORRESPONDENCE.
VERDE, January %, 1878.

VERDE, January 22, lSIS. EDITOR MINER Persian Opera Troupe. left here this morning, en route to California. to fill an engagement in one of the large cities. They have been stopping among us for some time, and have given several entertainments which, l venture to say, would have heen pronounced excellent in any theatrical or operatic circle. The memory of those delightful evenings will be cherished for years to come. fear we owe Prescott an apology for keeping this a secret but on their arrival here and the announcement of their first concert, the manager, with tears in his eyes, implored us not to invite Prescott, as he did not wish a crowded house. Surely he must have heart of stone who, after seeing those tears so freely shed, would go and invite all Prescott down here. True, some were self ish enough to congratulate the Verde on its good fortune in securing such prize, while Prescott was obliged to depend upon home talent; however, such types of human nature are to be found everywhere. l am sorry to say that the same persons were seen to give the gentlemanly managers hand an extra shake as he smilingly promised not to favor tnC DcOpic Oi IitSCOtt Witl ment on his way through. The manager and members of the troupe are persons of intelligence and refinement. The fact of their having chosen this Valley in prefer ence to other localities as a place to rusti- cate for while where they could procure the necessaries as also the luxuries of life, shows that they are people of quick per ception and good judgement To describe their splendid equipage would be simply impossible; suffice it to say that they left here with four pranoing steeds attached to a vehicle which Lord Vivion might envy. As the time drew near for their departure, the public thronged upon the housc-tops, eager to get last, long, lingering look at that wagon-sbeet as it passed from view, and, some generous-hearted ones were heard to remark, "How fortunate is that western city which is waiting to receive them.' Our loss is their gain. X.

TIE LAST OF PANAMrNT-The Panamint mines of Senator Jones and ex-Senator Stew art have been finally abandoned after four years of mining search for permanent body ledge. At the depth of seven hundred feet all signs of mineral bearing rock disappeared, and the Superintendent was ordered to shut down the works, which were very extensive, including a twenty stamp mill which cost $350,000, and hoisting works with all the latest improvements. About $400, 900 worth of bullion was produced from the mill, while the ore lasted, and for while it looked as if new Comstock was about to astonish :he world with its riches. But alas for human calculation, the lode which was thought to be true Assure vein, proved, upon sinking, to be what miner most dreads, pure white quartz spotted with punches of ore. which soon gave out. The Company. which em- braced many Eastern capitalists, after ex- pending $l,7000, ,000, order their mine to be permanently shut down. Examiner.

MORE OF THE PECK TROUBLES.

On Monday evening we gave what we understood to be the claims of tho parties interested on both sides of the Peck litiga- ton, and which appeared to us tc be a fair and impartial account of what was set up and contended for by the California Peck Com pany, as we'll as by Mrs. Bean: but it ap- pears by last evenings Enterprise that an attorney for the California Company is not quite satisfied with the statement, and gives one of his own, which introduces feature that we were not aware constituted an eie- ment in the case, viz: That the stock to represent the one-ffth interest, in litigation between Wm Cole and Mr. and Mrs. Bean, was issued to meet proposition from Wm. NJ. Lent, who was then in negotiation for the purchase of the entire property for s400, 600, and agreed with the parties, that If they would include in the corporation the Cole interest, and issue stock therefor, he would purchase it and hold harmless tine vendors from all damage growing out of the Cole suit; that the proposition fell through; that on Beans motion the stock was locked up to abide the result of the suit; that he after wards pledged it as security for money, etc, and now insists on its being fully rep resented, and stock in the California Com pany issued to meet itr This is about all there is in the amended statement, snd as it was omitted by us on Monday, we give it now, in justice to the claims of the Cali fornia Company.
 We have said that the article in yester- days Enterprise was from the pen of an attorney of the California Company. It is true that the fact of its having been writ ten by such attorney is not stated in words in that paper, but it bears self-evident marks: clearness of statement; absence of slobbering; and other internal proofs of its being the work of clear head, that war rant us in the assertion that it did not originate with the Editor

rHE TUCSON CHECK NUISANCE.

An internal bother in a commercial sense is the Tucson, U. $. Depository nuisance Government has its headquarters at Pres colt. and draws its cheeks on Tucson, where the money, for some unaccountable purpose ;s hid away. as if the authorities had pur- poseiy tried to secrete it in the most inac. sessable corner of the Territory for safe keeping. These cheeks, issued and put ii circulation here, cannot be negotiated foI less than two per cent discount. thus sub hitting their holders to a ruinous loss. In fact, the man inst buys at that rate is mak- ing no great speculation, as, if he collects it through the Express, it will cost him that amount, and if he trusts it to the mails he is liable 10 be robbed.
 The Depository ought to be at Head quarters, and if no influence can he broughtto bear to make this change, then it should be sieposited in San Francisco, or even in New York. IS in that case the checks could be utilized in payment ofgoods purchased, but as it is. it is a constant fraud upon majority Inf the people. whe have no business relations whatever. with Tucson. It is on the borders of Mexico, a majority of its trade comes from Sonora. and if any body needs De ,,ository there. it is the. Mexican Govsrn- fneut. many of whose citizens depend up- ou Tucson as base of supplies. These checks would be at par, or perhaps at q rrera;um at Altar, while anywhere in Arizona, north of Camp Lowell they are at q discount.
 If the Depository were at Yuma or Ehrenberg, it would pay railroad freights. If af Florence or Ph9nix, is would buy f3onr harley or sweet potafoes, but at Tue son it is absolutely worth less except to the smalll number of people immediately sur rounding it.
