A. sutr0.

A gentleman who was at Sutro yes
terday says that 200 men were knocked
Of from the tunnel force there yesterday
and the night before. He says the
amount Of swearing done there yester-
day was enough to I'LL the whole con.
tract Of cutting the sub-dnin. Many
OF those discharged had come
from California. had worked three or
four shifts only. had been blsd with VI
poll tax, had joined the Miners Union
at . cost OF s. 80. and had not money
suough to get out Of town with. They
declare that Il was all . put up Job to
get thsm over the mountains to keep
them from voting for the new
California Constitution and TO make
them pay poll tax in Nevada.
Our informant says there are
from 800 to 800 idle men In Sutro and
many Of them are very indignant at
what they deem an imposition practiced
upon them by giving them u few days
work and then letting them out. The
alleged reason for their discharge land
probably the true one) is that there are
not cars enough to run out all the dirt
made by the gangs. Probably most Of
those let out have been found to be In.
competent miners.
