THE COMPROMISES wIrH sUrRo.

The Comstock Mining Companies
have at last ack nowledged the supremacy
Of Sutro. Years ago when the project
of running tunnel four miles to drain
the great Comstock lode was conceived
by Adolph Sutro. the mining companies
were, without exception. favorable to the
enterprise. Many OF them subscribed
for stock 10 the corporation. and few
we believe donated more or less money
TO assist the great undertaking. Thi-
great lode were in a barren zone, and
the idea prevailed that the bottom of
the ore bodies had been reached. Sub
sequently the bonanzas were developed
and Kings that knew not Joseph 3"
governed the mines. The Virginia and
Truckee Railroad was built. and as it was
intended that the ore from the depths
of the mines should be taken to the
surface through the Tunnel aud reduced
by machinery propelled by the water
drained from the mines, instead of
being hoisted 1000 feet and crushed by
steam generated by wood hauled up bill,
over the Crooked Railroad" the
owners Of the road leagued with the
Bonanza Kings against Sutro. and a
war ensued which has been waged vim
dictively for years. Meantime work
was prosecuted steadily on the Tunnel
until it tapped the great lode just at
the time that the bonanzas were worked
out and second barren zone had been
reached in many of the mines. The
great depth attained increased the cost
of pumping the water to the surface,
and any damage to the pumps. which
prevented them from running steadily,
flooded the mines. causing great damage
and unavoidable delay in sinking aud
prospecting for new ore bodies. until
assessments became the rule and divi-
dends the exception on the Comstock.
Now compromise has been effected
between the mining companies aud the
Tunnel Company. Henceforth. or least
rs soon as covered drain for hot water
can be constructed through the tunnel,
there will be no more water raised by
the pumps 10 the surface, and the cost
of mining wiH'b be greatly reduced. The
Tunnel will open in the bowels of
Mount Davidson. nearly 1000 feet from
the groupings of the lode. new sur.

miners to explore the vein.to a depth

New bonanZas like those of the Cali.

years ago will be developed at greater
depths. and the yield of the Comstock

of the great vein to a much greater
