CONTRADICTIONS.

All those stories about big pumps
and heavy pumping machinery on the
Comstock are false. The Territorial
Enterprise of Saturday, April 10, says
:" the mine is dry, and many of the COM
panies have to purchase water for
daily use" This seems incredible, but,
MS the Enterprise makes the assertion
in an argument against the Sutro Iun-
mel, of course it is true. No man, not
excepting Senator Stewart in his speech
against the Swamp Land Act, Was ever
nearer right than the Enterprise editor
in his arguments against the tunnel. 1t
does seem little strange though that
an item in the local columns OF the
Enterprise of the same date, should
say that 1.-The water has risen in the
Gould 4 Curry shaft to considerable
distance above the 1,700-foot level,
but there it is nevertheless. 1t must
be a mistake of the reporter, as all
those items are about pumping from
the lower levels of the Comstock.
Doesn't the editor say that those deep
workings are dry, and that no tunnel is
necessary to drain them. Doesn't he
even intimate that water is worth as
much as an inferior quality of whisky
on the lower workings, and has to be
purchased for daily use? Doesn' t he even
boast of his natural qualifications by
insinuating that all who argue that the
completion of the Sutro Tunnel will
facilitate the working of the CONS ock
mines are making asses of themselves,
thereby plainly proving that nature has
saved him the trouble of doing SO :?
However as these direct contradictions
in the columns of the Enterprise may
be susceptible of explanation, as they
may be attributable to mistake of the
reporter, blunder of the compositor
or some other cause, we await an ex-
PLANTATION before entering further into
the merits of the great bore. We de-
sire to be enlightened as to the cause of
Il body of water in the 1,700-foot level
of the Gould & Curry, if, as the editor
says, the deep workings are dry, or if,
the statement was merely joke of
Dan de DULLES, introduced for Sutro's
benefit.
