THE SUTRO TUNNEL.
A Compromise with the Mines
Probable.

The TIMES has for several months
past advocated compromise of the
matters of difference between the
mine managers and the Sutrc Tunnel
Company, believing that an agree
ment of this nature would do quite
as much to revive our languishing
mining interests as the discovery of
new bonanza. Indeed, the drain
age that will be afforded by the tun-
mel is the only possible means by
which large area of the most prom
Using part of the Comstock lode can
be effectively prospected. The i'm
mense engines of the Savage and
Hale & Norcross companies have
made but little Roadway against the
food, end breakages are becoming
daily more frequent. The water can
not be kept below the 19OO-foct
level, and it is plain to every one
that those mines cannot be further
developed without the use of the tun-
mel AS an adit. Best & Belcher, Gould
g. Curry, Chollar and other valuable
mines would also be immensely bene-
fitted by connection with the tunnel.
The San Francisco Post gives the
substance of California street rumors.
1t is said that AN important negotia-
ton is now pending betW cen the
Sutro Tunnel Company and certain
of our prominent mining magnates.
The matter takes the shape of
compromise which, If brought about,
will be of great benefit to all who are
stockholders in Comstock mines.
The Bank of California is at present
a strong partisan of Adolph Sutro,
forgetting in the now lndisputable
utility of the tunnel, its hatred in the
past. 1t is believed that all the mines
which are controlled by what is
known as "the bank crow" will par
ticipate in the compromise without
trouble The hitch now seemingly
lies with the Nevada Bank, which up
to this writing is holding of, though
negotiation is still pending. We
understand, says The Post, that all
save one of the members of the bo-
nanza firm are in favor of the terms
of the compromise, and we have
heard it limited that it will soon be
consummated. IF such is the case
the rumored plan of operations is as
follows: The drift now being run
east from the Chollar to the Chollar-
Norcross-Savage combination shaft
will be completed. A drift will slso
be run from the com bination shaft
to the Sutro tunnel. When these
connections are made the water which
now impedes operations in the Best
& Belcher, Gould & Curry, Savage
and Hale & Norcross, will be pumped
from mine to mine into reservoir
in the Chollar. Thence it will run
through the east drift to the combina-
ton shaft, and thence into and out
by the Sutro tunnel. AS the water
will only have to be raised to the
1700-foot levels Of the above mines,
an immense power can be brought
to raise it. Water pressure from
above could he used to run the pumps
instead of steam, and great saving
in expenses would be made.

MINING ITEMS.


COMET This mine is under bond
to the South End Mining Company,
which will expire on the 18th In
slant, and if they do not take it the
present owners, Colonel W. T. Rob-
inson, John Knoffell and Charles
Lanzac, will push the work with
more enterprise than heretofore. They
have run in tunnel between 300
and 400 feet and have crosscut the
ledge, which shows fine body of ore.
A winze has been sunk to depth of
60 feet in ore which will assay from
800 to $4,000 per ton in silver and
gold. They have about $50 tons of
ore on the dump, and had 500 tons
milled in July. They are working
five men, and besides expenses the
mine has paid $l,7OO in dividends.
A great deal of dead work has been
done, including two tunnels aggre-
about 700 feet and sinking the winze,
but they are no in shape to take
out enough ore to keep 10-stamp
mill running steadily.
VIM. PENN.-The tunnel is in S65
feet, and it is thought the main ledge
will be reached in running IS feet fur
ther. A ledge ten feet in width was
passed through when in 800 feet, and
one shift will be put on to-day to
drift ON it; the face IS showing very
good quality of quartz, carrying both
silver and gold. They have had some
very hard rock-blue porphyry with
streaks of quartz-to contend with in
the face of the tunnel. Superinten-
dent Langridge is expected to return
from San Francisco in few days. =.
SUCCoR.- Operations at TIE Succor
mine were suspended Saturday night
by the breaking of the pump rod.
Repairs were completed and the
pump started up again Monday night.
1t will take day or two to pump the
water out, before operations can be
resumed. The shaft has attained a
depth of a little over 900 feet.
SILVER HILL.-The pump was
started up last Friday evening, 1t
will take about week to drain the
mi lie Of water. The pump is being
run at the rate SIX strokes a minute.
When the water Is sufficiently re-
duced drifting will be resumed on
the 650.foot level.
Observation-Disclosures Bradley
informs us that the incline shaft is
down 700 feet, and the ledge Is still
widening as depth is attained. They
are getting out some quartz of very
fair quality, and have about 100 tons
on the dump. The prospects are very
favorable.
SOUTH END.-We are informed BY
Superintendent Robins on that opera
tions will be resumed some time dur
during this month, and we hope to
hear favorable reports from this mine
at an early day.
COMET EXTENsION.-They are still
drifting on the ledge, and some of
the finest specimens of gold quartz
found on the Comstock in late years
have been taken out.

TIE WONDERFUL OIL REGTO

THE WONDERFUL OIL REGIONS.
A few years ago the names of Oil City,
and Pit Hole, and Irvine, Pa, were on
everybody's lips, and the towns them
selves were large and fourishing. The
oil wells, on which they depended for
their prosperity, ceased to flow, and
their inhabitants were driven to seek
business elsewhere. For q long time
the city of Titusville also had in it's vi
cinity large number of flowing wells,
but year or two ago these wells ceased
flowing and were abandoned. Now it is
reported that they have broken out
again, and several of them are flowing
ten to twenty-four barrels per day. It
will be somewhat singular if all those
abandoned wells shall again become
active and profitable. Should they do
so, it will go to show that the wells are
exhausted by the continuous strain upon
them, and that, after having had time to
recuperate, they again give forth their
greasy treasures. If this theory be es-
tabllshed, owners of wells which have
ceased to flow will not be so eager to
dispose of them as they have heretofore
been
