Mr. s~rrRosrrxNgI..

evening. at Piper's Opera House, to the
largest audience we have ever seen pack
Cd within its walls. Every seat was tn
ken, Every mock and Granny was oc-
cupied. Every place large enough to
stand upon wal taken possession Of BY
eager listeners to q lecture surprising In
cutting sarcasm, historical truth. ineis-
i've logic and inspired sloqusnce. any
thing ever listened to in Storey county.
Mr.. Fitch took for his subject
."Adolph sutro, his bore, his calibre,
and his wandsrings to and fro upon the
face Of the earth" He began his dis
section Of the great Assyrian at the date
whom Sutro psddlsd cigars on the San
Francisco plaza; followed him to vir-
ginia where he peddlsd groschsns for
two bits each; traced his operations I'M
til he made tho famous hydraulic
discovery that water would run
down hill, and the novel pnsu-
matte discovery that heated air would as
cead. either through a shaft or stove
pipe. He gave a history Of sutro's con-
tracts with tho Comstock mining CON-
paniss, and showed how, after waiting
two and ons-half years after they were
signed. sealed and delivered, there had
not been n days work done at the mouth
Of the tunnel, although under the terms
OF the contract there should have been
three or four hundred thousand dollars
expended. He said that Mr.. Sutro be-
gan his tunnel in Washington City; that
tbs banks Of tho Potomac. not Of the
Carson, saw the great bore begun, and
that it had been prosecuted at Washing
ton and European capitals; more by fine
clothes, handsome squipagss and cham
pagno suppers for Sutro. than by picks.
shovels and giant powder at S~utrovillo.
He showed that out Of SIC, 000, 900 in
stock 90, 600, 900 had been realized, and
out OF this sum not one-fourth had been
expended in Legitimate prosecution Of
tunnel work. He followed up this show
ing by inquiring whore Mr.. Sutro had
placed the balance Of the money hs had
thus obtaiusdi It is q question that no
one but Adolph Sutro can answer, and
he dare not.
Mr.. Fitch is lawyer. He told the
audience last night that he had been
employed by the Comstock mining COM
panies to present their sido Of the Sutro
Tunnel question; that, as Mr.. sutro had
chosen to appeal to the people as a jury
to decide his case. these companies also
appeared before the same tribunal for
defense. Mr.. Sutro's organ this morn
ing affects to discredit Mr.. Fitch's state
ments by calling him m attorney work.

the Sutro Tunnel Company? Who pays
