There is also another copy cut apart and pasted to separate sheets for use when showing the slides. This lecture was a history of mining in the Comstock and of the Sutro Tunnel, but it was also a political effort to prevent William Sharon of the Bank of California from being elected Nevada State Senator, but despite Sutro's efforts Sharon was elected, although later the Bank of California lost its power.
