THE SUTRO TUNNEL.

dostlllty 10 tnlS VAST enterprise
has beef manifested in no small de-
gree, and often bitterly BY the Com
tsock papers for two or three years
past. They all agree, however, in the
admission that it is work likely to
be of great benefit in the develop
ment Of the hidden treasures Of the
great lead; but from interested mo-
sives, they protest against the royalty
agreed upon before the charter was
obtained from Congress. 1t is true
that the tunnel was not constructed
within the time at first thought pos
sible. Unseen difficulties, financial
and natural, unexpectedly delayed
its completion. Meanwhile the min
ing shafts were going down, and
when it became evident that it was
possible, with the immense engines
constructed, to prosecute explora-
tons at depth greater than the tun-
mel leveb number of mining COM
panies combined to defeat the legiti-
mate reward for the unprecedented
outlay OF capital required FORTS con-
struc ion. A recent decision Of the
Secretary Of the Interior, we believe,
fully suatains the claim for royalty
from all mines within certain limits,
and we have seen no disposition on
the part of Congress to interfere with
tunnel rights as fixed by the original
Act. What the courts may ultimately
decide, of course we cannot foresee.
Mr.. Sutro will never drain the
Comstock ledge until the question of
royalty is finally settled for all time,
aud the period during which the
mining companies shall continue to
spend unnecessary millions contend
ing with water, an underground
ocean rs it we're, can be quickly de-
termined by them-whether it shall
be for one year hence, by which
time the tunnel can be completed, or
for an indefinite space while slow
law proceedings drag on. For tie
general good of all concerned, we
think the shorter period had better
be agreed upon. Certainly the COM
pletion of the tunnel would greatly
facilitate operations in the deepest
mines, for the cost of raising water
four hundred feet would be almost as
nothing compared to raising it S,4OO,
and the volume could be correspond
ingly increased, if still found neces-
sary. But the probability is that the
water drained away at the tunnel
level would lessen the amount now
encountered at greater depth.
1t should be recollected, too, that
just now something is needed to
again restore public confidence in
the future of the Comstock, and we
believe that the amicable settlement
of this vexed question would do much
in this direction. The aid and con-
fdence of the people must he re-
gained, else the development of the
deep unproductive mines must soon
cease. Stockholders are getting tired
of throwing their money into an un-
foreground ocean and if better results
are not soon obtained the ponderous
engines must cease their unequal
task.

 On Tuesday of last week, load of young people paid Mr. Wm. Ferris, of Milton, visit, and spent very pleasant evening.
 "Wednesday evening was our usual Spelling school, which was O. K. The house was full to over-fowing, abont 80 or 90 persons finding standing or sitting room. Mr. Barton of Milton came up with his school and attempted to beat us, but, owing to the speed with which the minutes go, did net do it. Cornwallites, Goshenites, Miltonites and Warrenites were all mixed up together, packed in as small space as possible. This week we go down to Milton, to beat or to be beat en. Come again, friends. and we'll make ourselves as small as possible so you can have standing room. Sixty eight words missed.
 On Friday evening we called on Mir. Seelye Hart, and found him saving away at his 'Basso" in one corner of his "Kitch. en-" We put him at the south end of me- lodeon and violin, when he smiled serene ly. and went on saving. He seems the same chap he was two years ago when he received that barrel of "Rosem" and nine barrels of cider. He says the "cider" holds out yet, but the "rosem' is pretty near gone.
 A bright meteor was seen last We'd nesday evening, about 12 o'clock, ip the Eastern or North eastern heavens. 1t moved slowly to the North and dlsap- peared. Many persons thought it was lightning.

PROF. TYMDALL's WARMING.

In concluding an address to the stu dents of University College London Prof Tyndall, who is unquestionably one of the most Indefatigable brain workers of our century, said, 'stake care of your health. Imagine Hercules as oarsman in a rotten boat; what can he do there but by the very force of his stroke expedite the ruin of his craft. Take care of the timbess of your boat" The distinguish. ed scientists advice is equally valuable to all aOorEers. We are apt to devote all our energies to welding the oars, our strokes fall firm and fast, but few of us examine or even think of the condition of our boats until the broken or rotten timbers suddenly give way and we fiud ourselves the victims of calamity which could have been easily avoided by little fore thought. What began with slight frac- ture. or perhaps even a careless exposure to disorganizing influences, ends in the complete wreck of the ife-b0at.. The dis ease which began with slight headache or an undue exposure to cold terminates in death, unless it's progress be checked, and the disease remedied. The. first symptoms, the heralds of disease, give no indication of the strength of the on-com. ing foe, and the victim trusts that h1s old ally, Nature, will exterminate the inva- der. But Disease is an old general and accomplishes his most important move ments in the nighttime, and some bright morning finds him in possession of one of the strongest Notifications; and when he has once gained stronghold m the sys- tenn, Nature ignominiously turns traitor and secretly delivers up the whole physi- cal armory to the invader. Like the willy politician. Nature is always on the strong gest side, and the only way to insure her support is to keep your vital powers in the ascendant. Keep your strongest forts-the stomach and hyer--well guard ed. Do not let the foe enter the arterisl highways, for he will steal or destroy your richest merchandise and impoverish

LYONS. Iowa. Feb. 23d. 1877,


 EDITOR ENQUIRER. Since the first Sun- day in Jan. we have been attending ''re- viyal meetines." three times day (Satur- days excepted) which. with business chan gea. and other cares have left little time for letter writing. These meetings are e Kind of offshoot from the Moody Meet ings in Chicago, and are very prevalent here-a-way. We hear of them all over the country, and usually marked with in- terest and power. At Dubuque and Am moso. 8 large number of business men and heads of families have been convert ed. This class has not been reached to 8 large extent in Lyons. A man came out from Chicago to conduct the meetings but was taken sick while the interest was deepning, which seemed to cast some- thing of damper on it, although the meetings have been we'll attended, with evening audiences of from five to eight hundred and are still in progress with it- tie diminuition, though at the close of the seventh week.
 The weather for the past three weeks has been most remarkable so warm and dry that some of our merchants were seen sprinkling the streets to, lay the dust. Yesterday was a regular Indian Summer day. and we took long pleasure ride, but today a change has come, and we find ourselves once more in the midst of win- ter, with snow flying and wind howl. ing.
 The fire fiend has been at work again, burning another saw mill and part of a foundry and machine shop. This makes the 9th or 7th disastrous fire, with us in the last IS months, crippling business and throwing men out of employment in these hard times when theyssc least afford it. But news comes tonight over the wires of the almost certain election of Hayes & Wheeler. and many of us will thank God and take courage. believing that it is a hamburger of better days and things to come, while to some of ear neighbors it sounds like the ''crack of doom" so far do our feelings and prejudicies carry us; but time will determine.
 Thlrty-four years ago to day, an "old settler" tells us, steam boat passed up the river here. It is now clear of Ice but nc boat has arrived as yet from below. The usual time for the river to open is about the 20th of March. The ferry boats are running as far north as Du- buque.
 I am told that Beecher is advertis. ed to lecture in the new Opera House in Clinton. March 3d. He is drawing im- mense audiences in the west; and although the Bureau pays hlm $2o,O for fifty nights, they are making handsome thing out of it. About 600 tickets are already sold for the 3d prox. It is claimed that the new Hall will seat 1900 comfortably. I have not yet been in Tn, but propose to be there on that occasion if nothing hap pens to prevent. They held revival meet ings there and it was claimed that over 2O00 were in the rooms at times. They are now holding meetings in the several churches, ana report conversions nightly.
