TT Is we'll knOwhGnat our new Ohts
fed States Senator, Jones, openly de-
himself as opposed 70 all mol
nopolles, public or private. including
the Sutro Tunnel, therefore he may be
counted upon as doing his duty In 70
gard to this last mentioned scheme
when he enters practically into the
great Senatorial arena rs the repre-
sentative, advocate and defender Of the
best Interests of his State and constitu-
ents. This great chronic Sutro bore.
we have always favored as private
prospecting enterprise to develop the
country and mineral wealth lying east
Of the Comstock, and only opposed 1t
and Its exorbltant royalty as not
being essential to the working Of the
Comstock, but on the contrary, detrl-
mental to the best interests of the Vir-
ginia and Gold Hill people, and the
working classes especially, II carried
out according to Sutro's monopolizing
Intentions. Our interests are with
this community, and not with Sutro at
all. The Carson appeal sustains cur
views on the subject in the following
editorial remarks:
The Sutro Tunnel Is the most impu-
dent and preposterous scheme yet de-
vised for making the Government
stand the expense Of prosecuting q
strictly private venture. An equally
INDUSTRIOUS monopoly never has been
contemplated aud IL 1t can be carried
on, as Sutro so p%ertinaciously seeks to
have 1t, 1t will not only feather his
nest and bolster up nm arrogant foreign
corporation here. but It will place the
entire Comstock ledge virtually within
the greedy clutch Of himself and his
associates and hackers. 1t Is boosted
by Sutro and his allies that he raised
q million dollars for his scheme, In
Europe /; and It Is not to be doubted
that in the event Of the completion Of
The tunnel 1t and all that 1t con-
trolled and affected would be subject
to the dictation of European capital.
A tremendous s%putteration has been
made over old Cakes Ames and his
| Credit Mobllier; and 1t Is we'll that
his deviltrles aud the secret history Of
his corruption fund should thus be dug
up and exposed but while that good
work Is going on 1t would not be amlss
to inspect the books Of the Sutro Tun-
nel Company and the pockets Of Con-
gressmen to ascertain II 1t be possible
that the insinuatlng Sutro has been en-
| ploying his nutmeg CRATER Of a voice
In seducing Senator's and Representa-
tives in accepting large aud small
wads Of certificates OF stock In the
company aforesaid. Funnier things
than that have been unearthed and
II we were In Bill Stewards shoes We
would try and engineer a little job
whereby the Great Bore Of Sutro-
Vile should be trotted through a
similar course Of sprouts to that
which has caused the elder Ames to
preyaricate and perspire. And here
Il Is relevant to suggest that the Ne
yada Legislature would be doing their
principles and the State good service
were they to originate and perfect a
resolution protesting In earnest terms
against the passage OF this bill of Gen.
eral Banks. Certainly Nevada don't
want to be charged with a couple OF
millions of Government money, when
that money would simply 60 to relm'
burse a parcel Of spectators who are
trying to scare up a corner on the Com.
stock. II Uncle Sam Is going to dc
any such an act Of liberallty In behalf
of tho mining interests Of the country
let him expend his money In bounties
to prospectors and ore discoveries and
In similar fa~r-spreading devices for the
encouragement of an industry which,
so far as It exists la Western Nevada,
this Tunnel scheme seeks to throttle
and control.
