Yielding.

| sentativeS in Congress at the approaching
| session to get an appropriation of 5000
600 from that body in order TO continue
| exploration in the apparently played-out
| Comstock lode 1t is alleged that all the
| Pacific coast politicians of both parties are
| backing it up. The appropriation will be
| asked on the ground that the whole coun-
| try will be benefited bys the immense de-
| posits of gold which il is assumed are still
to be found on the lower levels, but which
| cannot be extricated in consequence of the
| inability of the mine-oWners to obtain
| further assessments from the stockholders.
In the same connection the report is re-
| vived that Messrs. Mackay and Flood have
| obtained control of the Sutro tunnel. The
stock of the Sutro tunnel was quoted yes
terday at to cents per share. At one
time it sold in the market as high as Sc per

against the bribers of the Aldermen. 1t
will be an inealculable gain to public

sent to the Penitentiary in company with
the guilty ex-Aldermen. The fate Of the
latter, which may be regarded as sealed al
