The Sutro Tunnel is a drainage tunnel (adit) connected to the Comstock Lode in Northern Nevada. It begins at Dayton, Nevada and connects 3.88 miles (6.24 km) Northwest to the Savage mine in Virginia City, Nevada. The tunnel was proposed by Adolph Sutro, a Prussian Jewish mining entrepreneur, in 1860. He promoted the drainage tunnel to allow access to deeper mineral exploration in the Comstock. Flooding and inadequate pumps had inhibited some exploration until that time. Arthur De Wint Foote worked on the tunnel in 1873, but was fired in 1874, having struck a flood of water in Shaft No. 2.

  • Le tunnel de Sutro est un tunnel de drainage minier de six kilomètres de long, sans compter les puits d'aération et les galeries transversales, situé sous le gisement aurifère et argentifère de Comstock Lode dans le Nevada, non loin de la ville de Virginia City. Creusé de 1869 à 1878 par l'ingénieur allemand Adolph Heinrich Joseph Sutro (1830 – 1898), il a permis l'aération des galeries et l'irrigation des terres agricoles environnantes, par l'eau de la montagne ainsi drainée.

O túnel foi pela primeira vez "visionado" por em 1860. Ele promoveu o túnel de drenagem a fim de permitir o acesso mais fundo da exploração mineral no Comstock.
