hoi sting works. G street filled with coyotes
and wild goats ard the International Ho-
tel, the Sawdust Corner and the Delta sa-
loon turned over to the use of rattlesnakss
and rats. That prognostication created
sensation, and there was talk of lynching
the author, for it was not generally be-
lieved that such 4 condition of affairs could
possibly come to PASS.
The last time | visited Virginia City Mr..
Ginn's vision was gr.mly recalled 10 my
memory.
The buildings represented in the ac-
companying engraving We're planned for
the use of the tunnel company. but more
unpretentious structures were provided,
with the exception of the superin tendent's
residence that still stands on the sloPing
hillside, commanding view of the town
of Sutro and Carson River Valley to the
southwark.
Popularity did not at that time seem 10
be the goal of Mr.. Sutro's am bi:ion, and
he got rather more than his share of news
paper abuse, yet his lectures were always
we'll attended and his opponents confessed
that his campaigns cost them more m oney
than they cared 10 lose.
In recent conversation Mr.. Sutr0 eX-
pressed qualification at having laid down
the cares and burdens of public office,
which he thought did not yield sufficient
compensation in the way of benefiting
the community to tempt thoughtful citi-
Zens from the comforts of private life.
Speaking of the condition of his invest
menis in San Francisco realty Mr.. Sutro
said: II have to thank Denis Kearney for
the greater part of the acres own on thi,
peninsula. You see, was just selling out
my interests in Nevada and particularly
in the Sutro-tunnel enterprise, when
Denis Kearpey began his crusade that
knocked the values out of real estate in
this City. l was looking around for q
chance to place my available capital tc
advantage and made up my mind that my
best chance was in the sand dunes of Sar

" there Is Peace That Cometh
After Sorrow

''There is peace that cometh after SORROW"
OF hope surrendered, not of hope fulfilled;
peace that looketh not upon tomorrow,
But calmly on a tempest that is stilled.
A peace which lives not now in joys e1cesses,
Nor in the happy life of love secure;
But in the unerring strength the heart pos
sesses
OF conflicts won while learning TO endure.
A peace there is, in sacrifice secluded
life subdued, from w II and passion free (;
'Tis not the peace which over Eden brooded,
But that which iriumphed in Gethsemane.
Jessie Rose Gates in the April Century.
