SutrO Tunnel Water TO be Utilized.
A survey has recently been made OF the
ground between the mouth Of the Sutro
Tunnel and the Carson river with the OBJ.
ject OF ascertaining the fall between those
points. which is found to be Q fraction over
60 feet. II lie rumored, says the Virginia
Chronicle, that q 100.stamp mill will be
erected next Spring at Q point al
most due west from the mouth Of
the tunnel on the bank OF the river.
This mill will be driven by q Laffell
wheel propelled by the water coming from
the tunnel. and will be used for working
the vast body of low. grade quartz cut
through in excavsting the tunnel. This
vein is said to be 800 feet in width and to
give an average assay Of 81 per ton. The
water will be fumed to the mill o. a
%trestle, and the trestle will be built wide
enough to allow Of the construction Of
tracks on either side on which to run out
the quartz from the tunnel to the mill. 1t
is estimated that by this method the low
grade quartz can be mined and crushed
for ~ Q ton, which will leave a handsome
dividend for the projectors Of the scheme,
as they expect to mine and crush 800 tons
every "a hours.
