The water In the Comstoek.
The work Of unwatering the great
Comstock was started up last week, and |
without a hitch of any kind water was |
sent through the pipes to Sutro tunnel |
under 00O-pound pressure. The water !
was reduced in the shaft at the rate OF a |
foot minute, the stream running
through Sutro tunnel like a mill race. |
The water company is furnishing all the |
water needed, and a steady pressure il 1
maintained at the 1900 foot level. There
is great enthusiasm at Virginia City over
the success Of the pumping plant, and Il |
is regarded as the turning. point Of a new !
era on the ComstOck.
