will evidently some day reward investi- gators in Semitic history and Htera- ture.'
 Professor Burr of Cornell wrote: "The Sutro Library is, I think, beyond all comparison the best collection in America, both as to numbers and as to the quality of the books of the fifteenth century, and 1 gravely doubt if it has any rival this side of the Atlantic for it's literature of the sixteenth century. In travels of every age, in church his tory, canon law and theology in the history of all the sciences, especially the natural sciences, in curios of many sorts, it's shelves are a golconda of treasures.
 The number of books in the library, exclusive of manuscripts, is at present about 23000O Among them are the Par liamentary documents and proceedings which Macaulay used in writing his history; the laws of England as com piled by Lord Cairns, and a vast as- semblage of medical, botanical, geologi- cal, astronomical, mathematical and other scientific collections; among the manuscripts are many on parchment in the Hebrew, Greek, Latin and Arabian tongues.
 From the libraries which had be- longed to the German monasteries, and which were sold when the properties of those institutions were dispersed, MT. Sutro acquired editions of early works which are now so rare as to be almost priceless. Such are books printed by Fust of Mainz, by Aldus of Venice, by

He formed far-reaching plans which, at first vague and shadowy, were turned over and over, until they took tangible shape His foresight taught him that the empty land which divides San Francisco from the ocean must event ually be covered with buildings, and possess a value to which it's actual market price afforded no clew. He be- gan to buy this land. The San Miguel Rancho passed into his hands. and was speedily followed by the Byfield tract. the Richmond addition, and blocks upon blocks in the vicinity of the Park, and the ocean, until he owned 2200 of the 13,000 acres of taxable property in the city. Most of this he owns still.
 Then he disclosed the public spirit, which, in the maturity of his powers, dominated the desire for gain. He set apart a fine tract for the affiliated col leges of the University of California;
 they would have been in use to-day but for the self-importance and shilly- shallying and stupidity of the Board of Regents. He laid out Sutro Heights with it's magnificent view over the ocean, to be the great show place of California, and threw them open to the public. He built bath house, the like of which does not exist anywhere in the East, and fed it with a perennial flow of water from the Pacific. He constructed an aquarium which, when it is completed, will contain specimens of all the fish that swim in our waters, and a visit to which will be an educa- tion in zoology He built railroad

blistered with the hot mud which drop ped from the roof of the tunnel was foremost among the drill crews cheer ing on his men, and keeping up their courage with brave words. What dramatic moment that was when the miners in the Savage heard the thump, thump of the power drills, and the workers in the tunnel caught the re- sponse from the sledges in the mine, On July s, 1878, a well placed blast tore a jagged hole in the face of the tunnel, and through the hole, ragged and black as a demon from sheol, Sutro himself rolled speechless and breathless at the feet of the miners
 The problem was solved. The foul air in the tunnel which had more than once threatened Sutro's men with as phyxiation shot upward like a whirl- wind through the Savage shaft, and the Savage water poured out of the tunnel like a mountain cataract. The other mines hastened to connect, and in short while the main bore and it's side levels were over six miles long, and their outflow of water was counted iii the billions of gallons. The expense of the enterprise had nearly reached $5, 100000. Once more Sutro was the man of the hour. His stock, which 10 prudent banker had been willing to accept as collateral for the smallest loan, was now everywhere admitted to be property. He was as shrewd as he was enterprising. He had passed through the shadow of the valley of

Gould & Curry, Savage, Ophir, Hale & Norcross and Chollar were being ex- pIolted and the rage for deeper work inSS was maddening. The only man who had practical plan for deep mining was Sutro. He proposed to drive tunnel from a point in the flank of Mount Davidson, 204S5 feet from the savage shaft, so as to strike that shaft at point 1645 feet below the surface of the earth Such tunnel would not only drain the Savage workings, but belng connected by lateral drifts with the works of the other mines would drain them all and would serve as a horizontal outlet for the ore, which would save the cost of perpendicular hoisting. The plan was loudly applaud eu by RaISton, sharon, Mills and the Bank of California. A tunnel company was formed in 1864, an act of incor- poration obtained from the Legislature of Nevada in 1865, and a bargain closed with the mining companies for the payment of a royalty to the tunnel company of $2 a ton on all the ore eX- tracted after the opening of the tunnel. Thus far all was plain sailing and Sutro was the king of the hour
 But in 1866 and 1867. when he went round, hat in hand, to men of money for funds for the enterprise chill had come over the atmosphere. Like all novelties the tunnel attracted criticism. Engineers who could not bear the thought of being beaten at their own business by German tobacconist pooh-poOhed the scheme. Practical men called the tunnel Sutro's coyote hole. 4 change had come over the spirit of sharon, Ralston and the Bank If Cali fornia. The very people who had been most enthusiastic in support of the en- terprise now pronounced it impracti- cable. It is in human nature tc de- nounce new improvements as frauds. Everybody flung his little stone at SutrO and said he was mad.
 But the fiber of the mans soul was such that opposition and calumny only

Pannartz of Rome, and the contem- poraries Few book dealers would agree to duplicate these ancient tonnes. Of the Bible, the library contains 400 editions, including the Vinegar" Bible and the "Breeches'' Bible of Geneva, of which only few copies are known to exist. Another exceedingly rare publi- cation is. complete set of the Paris Moniteur. When San Francisco be- comes seat of letters and original research, the existence of this library will draw scholars to the coast from all parts of the country. It was the joy and delight of MT. Sutro's old age. He was never tired of talking about it, and of longing for the time when he could throw it open to the public, and, with his kindly face and beaming eye, well come the scholar to it's alcoves to pro- secute the studies that would enable the Pacific Coast to contribute its mite to the sum of human knowledge.
 The mistake of MT. Sutro's life was permitting himself to be elected Mayor of the city. He was not equipped with the peculiar gifts which fit a man for municipal administration, nor was his temper calm and serene enough to en- dure the wearing friction of office. For nearly twenty years he had been sue cessful in everything he tried; he was intolerant of opposition and irascible when he was thwarted. The good
 humored ridicule which he drew on himself by his assaults on the octopus diverted public attention from his mo- ble qualities and blinded people to his lofty merits. It exposed him to being called a demagogue by politicians of small caliber. It led people who were quite incapable of understanding him to sheer at his noble schemes of public benevolence. If it had been his good fortune to preserve his intellectual powers a few years longer San Fran cisco would have owed to his liberality university buildings that would have been an honor to the State, the finest library on this side of the rivers, a mu- scum which in itself would have at tracted visitors to California from all parts of the world, a pleasure resort which is without a rival

He stumped the State on be- half of his scheme, pouring out Gel- Uge of oratory in his broken English, spoken with his Teutonic accant. And though he could not make converts in Montgomery or California streets he wen over the working miners in Ne Vada and they took $50,000 nf his stock. He got some more in the East With this start he broke ground for his tun- mel on October 19, 1869. With his plans in his hand he crossed over to England and there he secured from he Mccall monts and others subscriptions enough to insure the completion of the bore, though not on the scale he had origin aIiY intended.

 work
 It fell to his lot to illus trate the period in which he lived. Half a century ago he was one of the ardent youths who cut loose from family and home to seek his fortune in a land where success meant riches. and failure hardship, privation, and possibly death. There was no reason why he should wander afeld. His father was a prosperous manufacturer at AiX La Chapelle, in Rhenish Prus- sia; he himself. at IS, was foreman of the factory. He was industrious and smart. A life of pIodding industry was pretty certain to insure him an ample sufficiency in his old age. Yet he took ship for the region of gold. where his instinct told him that mind and energy would tell. The boy want ed to stand on his own feet.
 In 1S49, at the age of 19 he landed in San Francisco and opened a cigar store. It prospered. But he had not

He turned his stock into money, mounted a pack horse and rode to Washoe, where ore worth $4500 to the ton, one third gold and two-thirds silver. was being dug out of shallow holes. A camp had been founded at the base of Mount Davidson and a town which took the name of Virginia City. Therein young Sutro pitched his tent. and by dicker- ing in mining locations and operating in merchandise he sCon became. young as he was, one of the most substantial citizens in the place. Far-sighted ob- servers remarked that that young Ger man would get there. Indeed, in the jargon of the camp, he soon had money to burn.
 He was a man in whose hands money was never idle, nor time thrown away. In 1861. long before the discov-

disappointment and despair. He did not propose to repeat the journey. When his name was in every mans mouth and operators were figuring on the millions which would fall into the lap of the fortunate holders of Sutro stock, he quickly sold out his shares and placed the proceeds in banks of undcubted solidity.
 That was twenty years ago, and MT. Sutro was in the full vigor of man. hood. He had a wife and six children. What was he to do with the millions which had been won after so desperate a struggle? Rest and pleasure, soft Sicilian days, and gay Parisian joys would have commended themselves to many men. Repose was not in Sutro's instincts. His mind could not be idle
The San Francisco call., 1898-02-13

Other men besides he have expend- ed their millions in erecting monu- ments which will preserve their names from oblivion, and, though their aim was rather personal gain than public service, they are still fairly entitled to gratitude because in promoting their own ends they ministered to the pros- perity of the people at large. Sutro, from the time he became a millionaire and the increase of his wealth became a matter of secondary importance, subordinated the pursuit of gain to his set purpose to take a place among the benefactors of humanity. He was glad to see his lots appreciate in value; but, as he walked over Sutro Heights and cast wistful glance over the vast spaces of the ocean that rolled at his feet, his mind turned gladly from thoughts of real estate to revel in the icy that when he was gone generations would thank him for what he had done for them and theirs.

from the heart of the city to the ocean beach. Adjoining the Sutro Baths, he began the collection of objects of art, pictures, sculptures, tapestries and curios for the equipment of a museum.
 But the object which was nearest his heart was the foundation of a library which, while it should be useful for citizens generally, should be especially attractive to scholars and should help develop the higher thought and work of the Pacific Coast. For the acquisi- tion of this library he visited Europe and purchased as a nucleus the most valuable works in the Sunderland Li- brary the library of the Duke of Ham, ilton, that of the monastery of Bux- helm, and that of the Duke of Dahl berg, which were sold at auction at the time. From the Royal State Li- brary at Munich, which had absorbed the collections of the confiscated mon- asteries of Bavaria, he bought over 4000 incunabula, probably the best col lection in existence. When he left Flu rope he intrusted the completion of the work to learned bibliophiles, who were instructed to spare no expense to ac- quire rare and valuable works; they have fulfilled their task admirably.
 Of the collection as it stands, An drew T. White, now Ambassador to Berlin, has said: With considerable acquaintance among the libraries of the United States, I should rank this one already among the first four in value. Every branch of science, literature and art is we'll rep resented. Many of the works are of the costliest. Among them are num- bers of rare illuminated manuscripts, a very large collection of early printed works, especially of the Reformation and early renaissance periods. with over 30000 volumes dating from the Civil wars, and Cromwellian period in England. Especially curious from a historical point of view is a collection which MT. Sutro has made in Mexico, which will prove mine for the coming investigator of Spanish American civ ilization. There is also a very large mass of Hebrew manuscripts which

But even then he realized that the great depth of the shafts on the Comstock lode, and the intense heat prevailing on the lower levels, would prove a bar to sue cessfuI mining unless the grade of the ore proved higher than could reascna- bly be expected. It cost more to hoist the ore and pump the mines than ordi- nary ore was worth. 4 plan must be devised to drain the lode into the Car son River, if it was to be permanent source of profit.
