The Order is one purely beneficial, and
though but q year old In Richmond, NUM-
bers nearly 800 members, and upwards
OF $4,000 in the United States. There
are three lodges in Richmond-viZ., Rich.
mond, Fraternity, and Continenal. In case
of sickness OF one Of the knights weekly
allowance is made to his family during bis
entire illness, and in the event OF his death
o., 900 is paid to his widow. his mother, OF
to whomsoeyer he may have designated
prior to his death. O
From the tenor of the various speeches
we were led to infer that the Order is in l
fiourishing condition.

THE SUTRo TUNNEL.-The Sutro tunne.,
though it is designed for private rather than
public use, will rank among the great en-
gineering works not only Of this but OF any
ace. The tunnel was designed to afford a
horizontal outlet for the immense deposits
of silver ore in what is known as the Com
stock lode; under Virginia City, in Nevada.
These deposits are 1000 feet below the sur
face OF the hills under which they lie. At
a rough estimate 5000 tons OF waste rock are
lifted 900 feet. daily, and the water has to
be pumped into system OF cisterns 200 feet
apart, at enormous labor and expense.
The tunnel was projected by Adolf Sutro,
a German engineer, and begins in the Car
son Valley, four miles east OF the lode,
which it is intended to pierce at depth OF
1000 feet. 1t has now been driven over
$4,000 feet into the mountain, and Is pro-
crossing at the rate Of about eighty feet per
week. -Four perpendicular shafts were
started, at equal distances along the route,
from the surface, to meet the main tunnel.
The workings from the first shaft and the
entrance met about three years ago. The
second shaft encountered body OF
water, which burst out so suddenly
that the workmen were obliged to flee
for their lives, and the shaft became well.
The main tunnel reached this shaft in 1875,
and drained the water. The third shaft
was also drowned out, and the fourth has
not reached the level Of the tunnel. The
headway which is made is uneXampled in
the history Of engineering, owing partly to
the firm nature OF the rock, and the .ques-
ton OF it's completion is only matter Of q
short time. A ganglion of tunnels will
follow the veins in all directions, and the
water will drain itself in the Carson river,
while the ore md waste rock will be easily
run out on the horizontal railroad.
