DRAINING THE cOMsTocK.

The improved hydraulic pump which
point 500 feet below the Sutro tunnel
level, continues to work satisfactorily
and Is an undoubted success. Last
Thursday the water had been lowered
to point l5s feet below the tunnel, and
for some time to come, the pump will
be worked only a part of each "a hours.

the Con. Cal. q Va, aud adjoining
mines an opportunity TO drain into the

Gated. Observations taken show that
the water is being lowered in the flood
cd levels of the entire group, from the
Ophir on the north to the Chollar and
Potosi on the south, distance OF near
ly a mile.
The c. & c. shaft is being rapidly re-
paired where it was formerlysubmerge

placed at point about 200 feet below
the present one and connected TO the
pressure column in such manner that
when the present pump has reached
the limit at which it can suck up
the water, valve can be turned and
the lower pump will take up the work.
The upper pump will then be lowered
in turn, and no delay in pumping will
be caused by the slow and tedious pro-
cess of lowering the heavy casting into
place.

1t seems that after providing place
for a gold-bug Republican in the Asy-
lum and Cleveland Democrat at the
State Prison, there we're not enough
jobs left for all of Wallace's Silver Par
ty pets, so the snap known as Super
visor at the Asylum has been resurrect-
ed for Joe Mccarthy, being without
doubt the price of his withdrawal from
the race for State Printer at the Reno
convention, and sundry services per.
formed during the campaign. This
position is as unnecessary as that OF a
Water-master on the Desert OF Sahara.
The place OF the former Supervisor,
Woods. who was discharged at the time
OF the Bergstein scandal, has remained

duties. The fact the State stands on
verge OF bankruptcy renders this waste
of the peoples money more conspicuous.

whom are on the Asylum Board, are
anxious to raise the assessments in the
