He knew that a drainage adit would solve all of the problems facing the mines of the Comstock, just as it had been done the world over. His greatest difficulty wasn't convincing the need of such a thing it was to overcome the objections of the bankers that controlled nearly the entirety of the mines. The Sutro Tunnel would cut the banks profits and help the miners. Neither of which William Sharon and William Ralston wanted to happen. Learn from Adolph Sutro's own words the benefits that the tunnel gave to the Comstock and what the banks were really up to during the exciting time of the great Comstock Lode and Virginia City's Bonanza days.
