Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1874-03-31

And a hunting We will 60" Yes, and
We went. Tha; is TO say one Of the pro-
prietors, P. Holland, accompanied by F.
Pierce and Matt. Halpin, went out duly
armed and equipped, according to law,
ready to wage en- discriminating warfare
upon the whole tribe of feathered bipeds
tina, most do congregate nearthe western
edge Of Utah's balmy cline. There isn't
q great deal Of balm in it a. present, but
our readers can just imagine that. Hay-
ing loaded up, being careful not to forget
a liberal supply Of extract Of corn, we
sailed forth. Matt, like Mr.. Wrinkle,
mounted upon tall horse with Roman
nUse. which he called the fiery untamed
steed of the desert" and ourself and
Fred Pierce in buggy, We sailed forth
upon our wild career. After stopping a
few minutes IT Ham Lights station,
away We sped for friend Glissan :, at
Rose Valley, and reached there about 2
p. IN. Dinner was just ready,
and such a dinner. You would have
laughed TO see US fellows get on
the outside Of the good things. 1t was
cut and come again, and we came and
kept coming; but there is an end
to all things, even to Piocher's
stomach when he has q chance al
chickens, eggs, fresh butter that is not
olemargarine, milk and things. Well, to
use a Homeric phrase, the rage of
thirst and hunger being appeased, as
soon as We could conveniently walk our
hospitable entertainer, WIN. c. Glissan,
showed us his buildings and ranch,
which are well worth seeing. He has
800 acres Of land securely and substan-
italy fenced, well supplied with running
| streams Of water for irrigation, on which
SPLENDID crops can be raised. Last sea-
son be raised 400 tons of the finest pota-
toes we have seen in the State, they
were large. smooth and sound, and Of an
excellent flavor, also 800 tons of hay
The house and farm buildings are of a
very superior grade, being built OF lime
stone, found in neighboriug noun
| tain. The interiors are well finished
and shows that Mr.. Glissan intends
to live comfortable while at his ranch
Everything is well and neatly arranged
and well adapted for the purpose for
which it is intended. There being quite
a number Of men employed, cooking
matters are conducted on a large scale,
| and when we were shown into the
| kitchen it looked like that of first.class
restaurant. Mr.. Glissan, who has al.
ways had fancy for good stock, has a
fine pair Of Clydesdale colts, aged 20
months, that now stand IA hands high,
and look very promising. There was also
a thoroughbred Durham bull, bred by
Hayward, Of California. There were also
great numbers Of stock OF all kinds,
horses, mules, cattle, hogs, ducks, chick
ems, etc, and all showing that they were
well taken care Of. Mr.. Glissan is using
o great portion Of the immense crop OF
potatoes in feeding his COWS. The spuds
are first boiled in large caldron, and
when cold are served to the cows and
pigs, who go for them with no small rel
ish. After we looked over the place we
refreshed and went cunning, when Matt
Halpin took aim at flock Of ducks, but
that gun barrel must be crooked, for he
hit one Of Brother Maxwell's cows, which
stuck up her tail and went charging
round like an ignited fre-cracker We
had notion, like Pickwick did to Mr..
Wrinkle about the skates, to have the gun
put in other hands; but thought it might
hurt Mats feelings, With such matters
day wore away, and We returned to the
house and spent very pleasant evening.
Fun and jokes being in order, some good
some bad, but all enjoyed immensely.
Next morning up bright and early, and
after a most appe,izing breakfast, we
went through Rose, Eagle and Spring
Valleys, visited Mr.. Chamberlain's ranch
IN Eagle Valley, also Mr.. Milletts and
W. b. Maxweils. This is very fine
ranch OF 900 acres, with excellent build.
