| / pick in the sutrO Tunnel has been struck
aLd the good work is daily progressing; but L
complete il requires millions 4 dollars, which
cannot be obtalued an the Pacific coast.
IN order to inspire confidence Ia capitalists
abroad, and in order 10 make Congress fully ap-
precate the true sentiments entertained here, u
IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY that a general and sub
| stautial iuGogsyI4eEt Of the project should be
| made right here at home.
| The California Bank riu-, the arch enemy Of
this great and good work, which in its results will
be so magnificent and benevolent, VIII, as II has
heretofore, use every effort to impress capitalist,
| at distance with TIE belief that they, the sup
posed owners Of these mines, being opposed to
the Tunnel, look upou it as an undertaking use
less, unnecessary, Improbable and chimerical.
| They will do everything within their power TO
control the action Of our Senator'S and viii leave
nothing unlone to create the same impressions in
Washington, and will by fair or foul means, Try
| to defeat any subsidy which Congress may be
willing to grant.
| There is but one way to defeat their machina-
| tions! There Is but one way to sustain the pro-
jector in his efforts to accomplish this great work.
There is but one way Of bringing about tue ar
IDENTIFY wished for results,
Let every man and woman, who can spare i5e
dollars, go promptly mp to the Office Of the sutro
Tunnel Company, and buy ONE SHARE. at least. of
the unassessable stock. Let , 600 or 5000 of the
men and women who live on the very spot, and
ought to be the best judges If the impol tance Of
the work, ind0rse 1T 10y becoming stockholders in
the Company; let >, GOO or 5000 men and women
the true owners Of these mines, say they are will
ling to invest their money, and that they have
confidence in the results to flow from the UNDER
taking, and then let the Bank riaG come forward,
and dare to aisrepresont and belle the Will OF the
people!
1t is not so much the amount of money which
can be raised in Nevada; it is the home ind0rse-
ment which is required; five dollars to you work
ing men and women, heecel and swnded as yon
have been, is great dead Of money; il is as mach
as thousands Of dollars are to the wealthy in great
cities: and still you can all spare thar amount If
you will only make the effort.
Come in then promptly; no not postpone it for
day: subscribe and pay for one share Of stock;
your names are recorded On the books; you be-
come stockholders to all intents and purposes; ii
makes you as much entitled to q hearing as il you
owned thousand shares: you own your own
proportion Of all the property Of the Company now
possessed or hereafter to be acquired: you thereby
indorse the enterprise you -ay you have conf
dence in it; you cast your vote for the SGtro Tun
mel and against the opposition Of the California
Bank; you sustain the protector in his e1orts and
declare that you will stand hy him. fair play,
and that he shall not be crushed out by that
schemug cunbinatiun, the Caiif lrnia Bank riugl
There is no time to lose: let all come in at once;
let those. at IA distance subscribe by letter; but
little time interyenes between this and the meet
ing Of Congress; if you sill subscribe NOW, it will
be possible to promptly raise several hundred
thousand dollars amongst the people of California
and in that manner secure the progress Of the
work while a bill il pending before Congress.
Let us have vote then on the Sutro Tunnel
Let those who are in favor of it, and have the
means, put down their five dollars, and thus
prove their public spirit; let those who are against
it, or in with the California Bank refuse it, and
let us make note on Il for future reference.
