THE sUTRO TUNNEL.
When 1t will Reach the COmstoclk
and at What Depth.
[From the Virginia Chronicle.l

From the Virginia Chronicle.l
Tho Sutro Tunnel is at last approaching the
Comstock lode. At the last measurement ION
the 9Th instant) the total length of the tunnel
was II 600 feet. 1t then had about 1850 feet to
reach the line of the Chollar-N orcross- Combn-
aticn shaft, and about 1900 more to reach the
Comstock-or total of about 800 feet. During
the seven days preceding the last measurement
the progress made was only 40 feet, or an aver
age of feet per day. But this was rather be-.
low the average rate of progress during the past
two years, which has been in the neighbor-
hood of 800 feet per month. Taking this as the
average future progress of the tunnel, 325 days
would be required to complete it to the Com
stock. The completion of the Sutro tunnel to
the Comstock lode may therefore be looked for
some time in May or June 1878. As may be OBJ
served, it is a long time to look forward to for
any effect-whether beneficial or detrimental
upon the stock market from the completion Of
the Sutro tunnel.
An ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION CORRECTED.
When the tunnel shall have reached the
Comstock. however, there will still remain o
vast amount Of work to be done before II can be
utilized by all the mines. The sxl0.foot drift,
which is now called the Sutro tunnel, is nothing
more than sort of advance drill-ho of the
main tunnel. When the Comstock is reached
branch drifts will be run north and south from
the tunnel To the north the drift will extend
as far as the Utsh mine. and to the south as far
as the Baltimore-American, these being the
north and south limits Of what was officially
recognized as the Oomstock lode by the United
States Government at the time of the passage OF
the Sutro tunnel act.
TIE TUNNEL TO PIERCE MOUNT DAVIDSON.
Besides the north and south drifts, the tun-
mel should also, to comply with the terms Of
the Act. be continued through Mount Davidson
to Washoe valley, on the west side of the noun
tain. For this purpose, besides other privi-
leges (some of which are claimed to be uncon-
stitutional Congress granted the tunnel COM
pany the right of way for seven miles from the
Carson valley, besides the exclusive right to
locate two thousand and four feet on each side
of the center line Of the tunnel, upon any lode
which might be discovered by the tunnel.
THE DEPTH AT WHICH IT WILL TAP THE coMsrocK.
The tunnel will pass the combination shaft
several hundred feet to the north, and ut
depth of about 1898 feet. The "collar" or top
of the Savage shaft having an elevation above
the level Of the sea of Al feet more than the
Combination shaft, the tunnel will strike the
Savage mine at depth Of about 1915 feet.
From this point Of intersection with the Com
stock the north and south drifts of the tunnel
will have grade of about six inches in hun
dred feet. The tunnel will therefore not strike
all the mines at the same level.
