Archive List Monday, June 30, 2008A Visit to Sutro
The Nevada Appeal today has an article about a visit to the town of Sutro, in the Dayton Valley. There's not much to the "town", a couple of buildings, but it is the terminus of the Sutro Tunnel, the horizontal drift tunnel that was dug to connect to the Comstock mines and drain water out without pumping. The tunnel is mostly collapsed and the town is only open to guided tours, but the small trickle of water coming out of the entrance shows that the tunnel is still doing its job.

I remember visiting the Sutro tunnel in the early 1970s. There was a bar there run by a gentleman who either was or later became the Justice of the Peace in Dayton. It was a fun place to go because it was mostly locals there.
