About a week ago We started< to
expose and to ridicule what We bslisN
to be one of the most infamous and
bare-faced swindles that has ever been
attempted to be practiced upon the
public in this Stats.-ws mean the
"Sutro Tunnel Company some
thing, q nothing, consisting of n man,
who has hardly a dollars worth of
available property which he cannot
pick up any hour of the day aud, with
cafpst-bag in hand, leave for parts un-
known. With a big flourish of trum-
pets, in the shape of extensive advertis-
ing in several newspapers in the State
by ingratisting himself into the good
will aud friendship Of q few men who
have the ostsnsible control of co-opera-
tive labor associations known as the
Miners Unions ON the Comstock-hs
has managed to put in an appear
ance" before the public which, to a
certain extent, has surrounded his
operations with a limited degree Of
public confidence, and enabled him TO
elothe his enterprise with a hypocritical
garb of business character. Whether
large or small, this outrageous swindle
shall not proceed much further, and
poor laboring men made dupes, and be
swindled out Of their hard.earnsd
savings, if we can prevent it, by a
truthful exposure Of the swindling
game attempted to be practiced. Let
the public, therefore, take heed; and
il any ono is cheated and swindled BY
a miserable "~wild-cat" speculation,
let the fault not be laid at the doors Of
the newspapers Of this county. The
nest in which this "Sutro Tunnel Com
pany." wild cat is now Matching is very
small-tho kittens are of q very ques-
tiouable brced-and ~credulous outsiders
had better stand from UNDER" and
take warning before being leecsd and
swindled.
The head, front aud tail, Of what the
public are given to understand as con-
shutting the " Sutro Tunnel Company"
is Adolph Sutro-s man. who is not
known on the assessment roll Of Storey
county as possessing a dollar in real or
personal property. He comes among
us with no other eharacter-(except a
very questionable n acquired in San
Francisco as q tobacco importer and
cigar dealer, and subsequently, as a mill
man, in Dayton, whose property very
unfortunately burnt up while it wal ill.,
r sured heavily)-shan that OF an adTsn'
. turer, o carpet Dagger, who is on tn
a make-aud to effect his object, ho repre-
I, sents to his half willing hearers, as the
devil attempted to impose on Christ
upon the Mount, that he ia owner Of vas
A.. estates, and that his victims shall share
. with him if they will only get down ane
worship him, and pay tribute to hi
pocket, by Smelling out their coin to en-
a able him to play the gentleman" t.
6 live high and easy, and to aid him t.
d keep up appearances while assailing th'
character, the influence, and the bust
n ness standing Of the Bank Of California
10 its managers, and the Superintendent
a Of our mines and mills. This is tn
position Adolph Sutro truly occupies
q before this community to.day-an'
+ which is %indl,putabls. This much
then, for the head, front and tail o
). tue great /" Sutro Tunnel Company
a Tomorrow we shall 60 into further de
tails of its effects.
