Something About Eureka-s Livery.

noticed that the stablemen were
a power in this city, concluding that the
scorching rays of the sun would be apt to
corral the very men he wanted to see about
this business, started out and returned with
tolerable success, having visited and OBJ
tanned from the proprietors themselves,
facts and figures for data of nearly all
the principal stables in the town.
The first visited was Sweeney's, because
it's the handiest, being right in the heart
OF the city. w. IL. Sweeney is the pro-
prietor and has, without a doubt, the larg-
est and most complete livery establishment
in Eastern Nevada. Rows Of vehicles are
in his carriage-house, from a ~trotting sulkv
up to a four-in-hand barouche. He runs
baggage wagons, carriages, BUSES and
chariots, to and from the depot, when oc-
casion demands the use Of all, daily at
tending TO the demands Of the hotels in
this line, as also the delivery Of goods for
Wells, Fargo q Company. S~weeney's
stables are on the corner Of Bateman and
Main streets, extending across the block to
Monroe street, 100 feet with so feet front
on the latter. The principal entrance is on
Main street, between D~augherty's saloon
and Bark Ashim's variety store. From
three to five men are employed about this
establishment in the various duties from
the harness-rocm to the care Of stock. The
capacity Of this stable is for fifty head, and
quite a sale and feed business is done
therein, consuming at the least twelve or
fifteen tons Of hay and four or five tons of
grain per month. The livery stock is now
about thirty head. and they are kept toler-
able busy.
Moore's stable is diagonally across Main
end Gold streets from the Turner House,
and is a neat and complete livery, feed and
sale stable, owned and conducted by the
Moore Brothers. They can accommodate
about fifty head Of the horse kind COM
fortably, and there are at least two or three
men on hand to attend to the wants of Gus
toners and the customary duties. Hay is
consumed at this stable at the rate Of about
twenty-five tons per month, and they pur-
chase certainly 81 900 worth Of grain every
thirty days. Some twenty head Of car
riage and saddle animals are to be found in
this institution. Boarding stock is a
specially with these gentlemen, and they
have a goodly share Of the custom in this
line.
On Bucl street, below Clark, is Smiths
livery, feed. sale, etc. j. l.. Smith
is at the head Of this property. He was,
to all appearance, cyerlastingly cleaned
by the first big food, but has revived
and now has a stable 2sx100, a carriage
house and a few head Of livery stock. He
is fixed for ~ head OF horses any night,
and not u~nfrequently has his stalls full.
or ten tons Of hay and a couple Of
grain are his needs per month, many Of
his patrons being men who freight regu-
larry, and consequently buy their own
hay and grain at different points Of their
travel.
Reilly & Lockwood are considerable
freighters, and have a stable, at the lower
end Of Buel street, of their own. They
employ from Is to 20 men have from 80
10 40 head Of horses and mules. and stable
room for all, and a corral that would hold
two or three hundred head. They get
with ten tons of hay and seven Of
grain every month.
The next man We struck was s. A.
Fletcher, Of the City Hay Yard and Stables.
His location is a good one, being on the
corner Of Robins and Main streets; employs
a couple Of men a part Of the time; runs a
on the corner Of his property there;
q stable 35xlO0 feet; can accommodate
81 head Of horses to stalls and shelter, and
uses about 80 o u Of hay and as many of
grain each and every month. Mr.. Fletcher
buys and sells stock bat keeps no livery.
W. ]. Harms represents the Eureka
on North Main street. He has a
nea. little salooon on bis grounds; en-
ploys one or two hands: can accommodate
so head of stock in his stables, and his
we're well Allied. 1t takes about Is
tons Of hay and seven or eight tons OF
grain to feed the animals that put mp with
him every month. 4 good sized corral for
hay and another for horses, mules or oxen
are connected with this property.
The owner Of the Huntington g. Ruby
corral and stables, Joe Snyder. was
our next victim, and though terrible busy,
informed us that he only kept one man
took a hand himself could stable so head;
take care of 100 in his corral, nicely used
about IL tons Of hay and the same in grain
per week does a light livery business
some feeding and sells many a head Of
His stable is at least 35xl00, and
30x100.
A little farther down towards the Eureka
Con. is Il new corral going up. Henry
Kind is fitting it up, We believe, and will
have it ready about the first of October. 1t
is to be used as q sale stable mostly.
Almost directly opposite is the private
stable of VIM. McCuen. He takes in some
stock and is prepared with extensive ac-
commodations, but, being engaged in
.freightinS quite heavily, attends more to
that than to his stable, and still he uses
not les than 10 tons of hay and grain zach
Across the street from Fletcher, Messrs.
Robinson & Greenup have a stable and
corral on the same plan as that of Reilly Il
stabling and caring for their
own freight teams.
Away at the south end Of Eureka we read
sign, Empire Corral and Feed Stables"
The flood made sad havoc with the "cor-
rail- part of this property, but ]. X. Coler-
lex, who, with his brother, are the propri-
ctors, informed us that undoubtedly the
corral would be rebuilt very shortly. His
stable fronts on Monroe street two men
do all the work, and they only feed out
about 80 ton Of hay and the same mount
of grain per month. They can stable 100
head.
Geo. w. Lamoureux is but a few steps
away from the Empire, with stables and
for his own teams. He has about
so head feeds 10 or II tons Of hay and the
same in grain.
John Stewart does a nice little business
in the livery, feed and sale business just
across the way from the Silver Brick Ho-

of hay and a dozen Of grain. He will very
have u fine, large corral finished.
Railroad Stable-B. Succatti & Co., pro-
prietors-can stable 80 head feeds ) tons
of hay and 8 Of grain.
j. Palmer & Bro. have hardly got started.
They are alongside the Eureka and Califor-
MIA lumber yard, and their stable will be
known as the "Union." j. Palmer in
formed us that his stable was about 30xS0;
could stall 40 head had a monster corral
fed about Is tons of hay to 7 of grain each
month. The Palmer Bros. own consider
able stock, and one of the firm is now in
Railroad Valley to bring up 20 or 80 head,
which they will sell or do u livery business
with.
There are six other stables Of a public
and private character in Eureka, but as
there were zone about Of whom the ro-
porter could inquire as to facts and figures,
a rough estimate was put upon the lot as
