A Washington correspondent says: 'The
West and South are bent on the passage OF q free

Yorable to it, if it can be based on coin. One or

The greatest cooperative enterprise yet pro-
jected in this country is the Sutro tunnel. More
than $500 0oe, 900 is supposed to be hidden in a
most unluckily constructed mountain in NeVaua,
the precious veins running through the centre Of

cept at too great cost. Mining ingenuity proposed
q tunnel into the mountain, cutting the velns'
draining the mines, and laying open the whole de-
post. Congress was asked for loan to aid IN the
work, but refused, and Mr.. Sutro was IN measure
forced into the cooperative scheme, which Is al

s struction OF the tunnel, and secured by owner

back to the miners in the shape OF wages, with
the prospect OF rich interest when the silver de-
posits are reached. The plan seems to have

are responding to the call for thirty ythree cents
day, and becoming prospective owners of what is
believed to be the greatest silver mine Oh the con-
tlnent.
