Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1881-03-30


been noticed for many months past.
It has filed everyone with new hope,
for all the outward signs indicate that
the change which is coming over the
market is the beginning Of something
tangible. No rise ever proved strong
and continuous that did not come after
a long and dreory period Of stagnation.
Only after a steady pull Of assessments
and low prices will the public let go
their stock in sufficient quantities to
allow the heavy nlanipuiators to get
what they want. During the past
three months the man must be glut-
ton indeed who, with q reasonable
amount Of capital, has been unable to
invest sufficiently.
FATR AND SUTRO.
It is now claimed that Sutr0's real
object in being in Carson during the
Senatorial fight was entirly at variance
with the public idea Of the matter. For
some time past Sutro and the Bonanza
firm were quibbling over the sale Of the
Sutro tunnel, and could not come to
terms. The point on which the powers
failed to hitch is not known, and proba-
bly, never viii be, but it was sufficient
to prevent the contamination Of a sale.
1t is now believed that while Sutro
was in this city last winter he COM
PEELED Fair to acceed to his terms, and
the intelligence from Europe soon after
wards that Mac!<ay had purchased large
blocks Of the tunnel stock in Edinburg,
where the bulk of it is held, helps to
substantiate this theory.
One thing is certain, that Fair and
Sutro were in constant cOmmuni cation
during the Senatorial fight, and that
when Fair learned Of certain moves
made by the old A5syrian he became
very anxious over his chances, and be-
gan to believe that his right hand men
had turned against him. There is no
DOUBT that nineteen representative had
with Sutro, and Fair who
kept watch Of their movements, knew
it, The night before the first vote the
5utro workers We're eiated over the
and even bets were offered
that he would secure twenty-one votes
on the first ballot. Up to midnight
Sutro appeared certain Of his chances,
when suddenly he seemed to take 10
interest in the fight, and announced
that he had given up all idea Of doing
further in the matter.
This sudden change of front is ac-
counted for by the fact that Fair,
alarmed at what the morrow might
bring forth, sent to Sutro and agreed to
acceed to his terms regarding the sale
Of the tunnel if he would withdraw
from the Senatorial fight. Within q
lour after this, an Assemblyman, vino
was committing TO memory q speech
Intended to be delivered when Sutro
was nominated, received word that !
here would be no need Of it, as SutrO
lad given up the fight. This very
brilliant piece of rhetoric was lost to |
the world, and Sutro Ie:t the city in the |
most excellent spirits-not at all like
he man who had lost anything.
TIE TUNNEL AND THE COIsToCK.
Under the terms Of the contract be- |
.Veen the Tunnel Company and the |
mines, the latter pay royalty On every |
on Of ore extracted, whether it goes
through the tunnel or not. In case any
quantity of ore was raised |
t would be tremendous drain upon |
he mines, and in such an event |
Mackay & Fair would find it much |.
:heaper to purchase q controlling inter-
est in. the tunnel than be compelled |
year after year to pay the royalty |
that the C0mstOck will yet !
produce immense quantities OF milling |
re, they have secured this interest, |
nd, with the tunnel under their cor
rOl, are masters Of the situation.
HOEFLICH AND THE HEBREWS.
The terrible decline in Sierra Nevada
rave the Jews, who were large holders
# the stock, terrible cinching. It is
however, that they got out in
ime to save little under advices from
Maurice Hoefich, and at the right time
