Aleck Middleton. of Battle Mountain,
who has been on q visit to Paradise
Valley, arrived here last night, and Is
enth usisstic in his praises of the garden
of Nevada. He says the grain is o
q deep green, and about STA inches
high, and to n accustomed to dusty
streets and sagehrush surroundings,
~ he is at Battle Mountain, 1t il really
delightful to look At. He is interested
in the rancn of O'Nesl q Middleton in
that valley, which the owners intend to
make the model ranch Of Nevada.
They have 1880 acres inclosed with =
substantial fence, 100 acres Of which is
sown to barley, and the balance to
clover, redtop and b~lue.joint grasses.
They have a number Of black berry,
~gooseberry and cranberry bushes on
the place, which are literally loaded
with fruit, having sustained no injury
from the cold spell Of two weeks ago.
Among the people participating in
the ceremonies of Memorial Day yes
to-day, says the Enterprise, were two
old timers who have OOrne their share
glory of the Republic. We refer to
Colonel Ross and Walter VIM. The
first named fought under the stars and
stripes through the Florida war, AZ
years ago, and also participated active
~ in the Texan and Mexican vars.
Walter VIM was private secretary of
Gen. Sam. Houston, President Of the
Texas Government during the tronb.
lous times on the Rio Grande, and also
figured in the war with Mexico. The
gentlemen named above belong to the
old school and are too modest to speak
of their W achievements, although
they are familiar with the smell of gun
powder.
