runnsl) 81. 10000 Of English and
German gold" This is an open and
absurd falsehood. Mr.. sutro to this
date has not paid out to the laboring
men and merchants Of Storey and Lyon
counties thrse-ffths Of the sum named,
and We challenge the Dependent to prove
10 tho contrary. He has 1t is true
squandered a large sum Of money by
purchasing useless hardware and ma
chinery at the East. most OF which now
lies and has lain for q year and a half
unused at the various shafts along the
line and at the mouth Of the Sutro Tun-
mel. Tho money paid for this
machinery and hardware did not

Lyon county working men or mer-
chants. The balance Of the 80, 700, 900
has been expended, IL used at all. by
Mr.. Sutro in other localities and for
other purposes than paying miners
wages and purchasing supplies. Do
owners Of Sutro Tunnel stock remember
that for eight years Adoiph sutro has
never turned his hand to labora That
for three-fourths Of that time he has
been living at the most expensive CAPT
tails Of the new and old world. That he
was engaged during three years OF that
time in endeavoring to procure subsidy
OF several millions OF dollars from the
u. s. Government for the prosecution
Of his scheme to levy tribute on the
Comstock lodei II they have forgotten
these matters we now call attention
thereto. Lobbying Is acknowledged to
be expensive business, and Mr.. Sutro
has done a great deal Of ii in the
period referred to. Mr.. Sutro
has also travelled somewhat extensively.
In fact, he has visited, during the past
siI years, most Of the principal cities
and points Of interest in Europe. The
unnsl. not Mr.. sutro, pays for this jun
keting. Sutro says he receives no SAL
AIRY from the Tunnel Company. Never
theless. to our certain knowledge, Mr..
Sutro costs the Tunnel Company n lar
ger monthly sum than any Mining Su-
perintendent upon tho Comstock lode
receives. And in this way, II at all,
has Mr.. sutro expended than two
niths Of the present cost Of the Sutro
Tunnel.
We might notice other absurd false
hoods which his organ this morning pre-
sents for the consideration Of intelligent
working men, as, for instance, the i'm
mense benefit Of the tunnel to the
miners in Ease OF fire. A
locomotive whirling workmen "out OF
the burning mine at the rate Of sirty
Mills an hour. instead Of being : ~sdksd'
up through q shait as now" The alb
surdity OF this talk is almost too glazing
for notice. With the exception Of a
space OF say 1000 feet between the face
Of the drift now being run from the
17Oo-foot level OF the Imperial toward
the Bullion. and which will be continued
to the Chollar long before the Sutro tun-
mel can reach the Comstock lode, every
mine upon the lode, from the ophir to
the Belcher. is connected by large. we'll
timbered drifts. A miner in any OF the
mines thus connected can find egress
from IN adjoining shaft, and each con-
nection made more thoroughly ventilates
the mine. The allegation that an n

in the Sutro tunnel. will whirl out work
men Eat the rate Of sixty miles
per hour" is stupid and non-
sensical. The largest and swiitest To-
comotives yet constructed have rarely at
4 speed Of seventy miles per hour.
The speed Of sixty miles per hour is ut
terly impossible to be attained by any
tunnel engine now in use, or yetinvent-
cd, unless il were to fall down n shaft or
incline. Sutro has a couple Of his To-
connective engines at ode mouf oh de
tunnel" Let some curious mechanic
interview them and give his opinion OF
their capacity for speed. In case OF a

could be sneaked" out OF the Savage
shaft in three minutes. Could they see

We have noticed these evidences. as
well Of idiocy as Of the desperate straits
10 which this dsmagogue and his organ
have been driven to win the support OF
laboring men. merely to show their fall
lacy. II would be laborious as well as
Improbable to expose every lie the D,pen-
dent devotes itself to fabricating. When
such glaring absurdities as this s2,70o,-

appear. we may perhaps turn on the
light and show their baseless origin.
