Rumors are being circulated on the
stree ct to the effect that a compromise has
b en-, or is about being arranged, between
the various mining companies OF the Com
stock and the Sutro Tunnel Company, in
volving concessions on the part of the

mands. These rumors are stated to be
nothing but stock-jobbing talk, and no dis
position is evinced to recede from what is
claimed to be due the company. The tun-
mel people say they are in no hurry, that
the tunnel is not yet in working order.
This meant that they can afford to bide
their time. while using due diligence to
