The Mystery of
the Savage Stump


1t was more than 20 years ago that
Virginia City, New, first wrestled with
what was known as The Mystery Of
the Savage Sump.'
The stump of the Savage mine is an
excavation at the foot of the incline
where the hot water of the mine col,
lects in volume, and from whence II
is pumped into the Sutro tunnel,
steaming, scalding hot. The Sutro tun-
mel strikes the great Comstock ledge
1850 feet below the surface, and is
the drain pipe through which all the
water in the Comstock miros is dis
charged II runs through the boxes in
the tunnel near five miles before II
reaches the lower mouth of the tunnel
and from thence finds its way into the
Carson river The sump is more than
5000 feet below the surface, and when
this point was reached 1t marked the
limit of mans ability to pierce the
depths of the earth on the Comstock
ledge.
The water came in so fast that the
big pumps had TO be kept constantly
at work to prevent the flooding of the
lower levels.
One morning the miners who came
off the three o'clock shift reported the
finding of the body of a man in the
stump. 1t was a horrible, shapeless
thing, with the flesh cooked In the hot
water and the features unrecognizable
The body, what was left of 1t, was ex
posed in the morgue for more than a
week. but not identified. Several thou
sand men were working in the mines
at the time, but the roll of the Miners
union and the tally sheet of the Say
age mine showed no one missing.
If it was a murder, who could pos
sibly be implicated2 The authorities
and the newspapers and the officers
of the Miners union and the superin
tendents of the mines investigated th'
mystery on separate lines, and aftel
a year OF probing it was as much
