The Evil Days Have Come,

The Virginia Chronicle prefaces an editorial on the railroad monop- oly in Nevada, in the following truth full and pathetic strair:
 Nevada has for several years past been languishing. The Comstock has ceased to produce ore. As a consequence process of decay has been going on here which has a blighting effect upon the whole state. The population of Virginia City has decreased greatly, and the deprecia- tion in the value of property has been simply frightful. Houses can be bought to-day for one-sixth, or even less, of their cost, while real estate is an unstable article. Men have seen the result of the labor, economy and enterprise of their lives melt away in their sight because of the impoverishment of the commu- nity. Business men are gloomy and for the most part remain here orly because leaving would involve greater loss than staying does. Car. son and the neighboring towns and camps have shared in the general down-hill movement, and the state from one end to the other has suffer. ed more or less on account of the evil days which have fallen upon this great lode.

Mormon Opposition.

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 22.-The Mormons continue greatly exercised over the situation and are doing all they can to prevent congressional leg islation. The apostles and leading men hold meetings daily, and the legislature is devising numerous schemes to-day.

Whether they are authorized to make concessions in behalf of the church is not known.

Must Hang.

From the Phenix Gazette.
 Last Saturday the Supreme court, sitting at Tucson, affirmed the judg- ment of the lower court Tn the case of the Territory of Arizona vs. AL fredo Brown, convicted at the Mo- vember term of the district court for this county, of murder in the first de- gree, in the killing of old man Cam trell. Brown was sentenced to be hanged on the 20th January, but subsequently, secured a stay of judg- ment until the case could be heard in the Supreme court. We learn that Brown received the news of the decision very coolly, vouchsaGng no remark when it was imparted to him. We called on the condemned man yesterday, and found him much moderated in manner, this last phase of the case having evidently broken his defiant spirit. However, he ex- presses strong hopes of securing a communication of his sentence to inn prlsonment for life. Brown is not the least bit retlcent, but still de- nies the crime of which he is con- victed. Judge Porter will probably the prisoner sometime thi, week.

A petition was circulated yesterday asking the secretary of war to estab- fish a military post at Cloverdale springs, in the Animas valley, New Mexico, at a point about ten miles northeast from the. junction of the states of Sonora and Chihuahua, Mex leo, and the territories of Arizona and New Mexico. This po,nt is on the direct route of the Indians who raid back and forth between Mexico and our country. This IS a most desira- ble movement, and it is hoped that our business men and citizens who are interested in the rapid develop.

THE peace of all Europe is ono

THE peace of all Europe is once more endangered. While the poor panic-stricken emperor of Russia is shut up in his prison palace of Cat china, his minister to France is a. large and free to talk, and talk he dses very loudly against the German empire. His speech was to some Servian students in Paris, whom he told, substantially, that Germany stands in the way of Russia's ambi- tion to become the protector of the whole Sclavlc race. These sent,- ments, uttered as a private citizen, have deeply alarmed all the conti- mental powers, and it's reported that Germany will send the emperor a "mild note" upon the subject. It is possible that the easiest and safest way for the escape of Alexander from his bitter foes at home is to en- gage in a war with somc of his neighbors, and thus distract the at- tention of the Nihilists from his au- gust person. At all events, few simple words, uttered by General Skobeleff, has sgitated all Europe, and called forth some strong com ments from the continental press.

 MT. Rogers, who delivered ice to the Prescott people last summer, is making grand preparations in the way of getting everything ready to com mence business. He to. day pur- chased one of the nobbiest wagons in Prescott.
 The mail from BradsbSw due Sat urday evening last, was delayed by the drifting snow of 1he last storm, and did not reach hefe until 1 o'clock this morning. The mail carrier re- ports two feet of snow having fallen at Bradshaw and at the Hassayampa divide in the last few days.
 Mir. Thomas Bullock, who lived in Prescott during his younger days, say for five years, now resident of London, has been on a visit to this section for the past twenty days. MT. Bullock leaves us for his home in Europe tomorrow, and thinks of re. turning again to Yavapai county the latter part of this summer, when he will invest some of his spare means in gold, silver and copper mines.

 MT. Putebough, special agent of the land office, in Washington, is in Prescott looking into land matters. He is sent out more esp cially to look after the timber interests on the public lands. He will visit our lum. Der mills as soon as the weather per- mlts, and make inquiry into the cut ting of timber on the public domain.
 The pilgrim has come who pulls out his little pistol and talks about the old folks at home and swears that he has got to have work, and if he cannot get it, somebody has got to yield up-and asks the barkeeper to let him have couple of drinks till he can get job or sell his pup. How he gets along so well as he does is mystery.
 The heavy snows in this immediate vicinity are rough on some of our ''oldest and best" prospectors, and have driven them and he deer down into the foothills towards Wicken- burg and Tip Top, where there is bare ground and croppings are visi- ble. Some of the boys will be back directly with specimens from the lat est and richest finds, and sharpen up their credit again with the merchants and saloon keepers. That class of miners who only sink shafts with jaw bone in the bar-rooms, are not likely to bring their claims into the market by reason of their develop ments.

TotRl Wreck.

It is seldom that we ever get an item from this most promising mine. From the uncontradiotory statements that de reach us from time to time, there is no room to doubt that the Total Wreck mine is second only to the bonanza mines of Tombstone, and bids fair ts rank with the best of them when developed to the same extent. Unlike the mines of other localities that are constantly paraded be. fore the public as second Comstocks, there are no contradictory reports as to the size and richness of this, therefore we feel per factly safe in the remarks above made. The heisting works are now complete, and we expect to hear of rapid an rich devel- opments for the future The company has it's sinking pump ia., the well, which IS 3S feet deep, and will now push it down 20 feet further, when they expect to have an abundant water supply for the hoisting works and mill.y Work grading for the foundation of the mill will commence in about two weeks.
