Show The Town op Sutro. The Virginia Vir-ginia Chronicle has the following description of the town of Sutro: The little town is situated on a gen-tlo gen-tlo slope which will secure perfect drainage and make irrigation easy. The view is one of the finest in Nevada, and, happily, is not composed com-posed of one everlasting dirty gray. The whole Carson valley is before the town, the green, irregular lino of the trce-bordercd river pleasantly resting the eye and breaking tho stretch ol landscape which terminates with the mountains of the Humboldt river. Improvements are going on briskly, the principal ono being the grading uf a road-bed from the mouth of the-tunnel the-tunnel to the river, a distance of a mile nnd a half, for a narrow gauge. Mr. Sutro has two locomotives on the ground already, and expects by the coming spring to have Ihe little line in operation. The road will be used mainly lor the transportation of wood from the river to the tunnel. The tunnel itself is progressing rapidly, ind it is calculated that two years more will see it finished. By dumping dump-ing the rock Irom the tunnel in proper form, a bed lor a luko about 1,0U0 feet long by 200 in breadth is nearly finished, directly facing SuLro'a home. Already there iB a nico little lake of pure water which supplies tho town, and is an clement ol beauty to the place. Sutro is in 1 finbryo yel, ofcouise, but it has certainly cer-tainly all of the natural advantages I requisite to make it one of tho prettiest pret-tiest towns in the state, ' |
