The Savage Sump Mystery and a Nevada Stock Plot
An 1869 Virginia City mystery links the Savage mine sump flooding to a San Francisco stock scheme. Miner Meeker and Col. Clair forged a plan to flood and drain the lake outlet to manipulate Savage stock, culminating in Clair killing Meeker and concealing the crime by lowering the body into Tahoe’s submerged outlet.
