A Visit to Sutro

by Scott Schrantz

Posted Monday, June 30, 2008 at 08:53 AM

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.
