SFuu the not "oscE 1ss
waiting for orders
The mystery Of the men working ct
midnight in the Sutro Tunnel and at the
poin, OF its connection with the 1910
level o. the Savage is at length solved,
They were carrying out q cute trick OF
Mr.. Sutro. but one that did not win. In
fact il has been made use OF against
him. and has proved a mighty weapon
in the hands OF his opponents.
II seems that when the cave came in
the su,ro Tunnel Tuesday night. tho &C.
casiou was seized upon for carrying out
q design which must have been maiured
before Mr.. Sutro left for San Francisco.
No sooner was communication closed
between the men in the tunnel and the
outdoor world than these men left OF
work in the header OF the julia branch
anil proceeded cautiously 10 the point
designated above and there commenced
sinking a Wine in Savage ground from
the tunnel level toward the 100 level Of
the Savage. The design was obvious.
With such a winze making such q con-
nec,ion IL would have been impossible
for the Savage company to send water
directly from its underground workings
into the tunnel. Had the attempt been
made the water would have gone through
to the 100 level, and 50 ON round and
down. and the labor ofths mine to drain
il would have been like that Of q jackass
on u tread mill. The trick was discov-
cred next day and the men compelled to
dssist.
This has been the source OF the mys-
terious movements which have been
going on. But the tables have been
turned on Mr.. Sutio most etf.ctually.
II has given the Savage Company the
opportunity Of assuming the offensive
and to-day an application was made to.
the District Court OF the First Judicial
District for u temporary injunction ro-
straining the sinking OF this Wine and
the further obstruction OF the tunnel.
Mr.. Sutro's bulkhead is therefore use
less.
The complaint IL very voiuminous IN
this action. IL IL based upon the orig
inal contract between the Tunnel Com
pany and the mines which has been ac-
c.pied by the Savage Company and
which considers q mine drained and
liable to pay royalty whenever the tun.
mel reaches the eastern border OF that
oom,a,,,s ,ropnd This beiny th. casa
the Savage has hal the right ever since
its connection with the tunnel 10 pump
its water into the tunnel.
Upon reading and filing tho complaint
Judge Rising this morning at Chambers
signed AN order thai . temporary IN
junction issue ON the hlins OF u bond by
the company with good aud saIneisnt
