morrow and with the vast stretches
of grazing lands now being utilized
and the deserts of sage-brush, be-
ing reclaimed, Nevada in five years
would be more prosperous than
ever in its history. From the Of
fetal report of President Eas-
ton, of the Pacific Land Bureau,
who recently made a trip with a
party to inspect large areas of cat
tie ranges in Nevada, we take the
following extracts:
At Reno we began to find the
| first level country after leaving
Rocklin, in California. In the
| vicinity Of Reno, irrigation is car
| ried on to some extent by the wa
tiers Of the Truckce, and alfalfa
| fields are quite numerous. Be
yond Wadsworth and across the
| sink of the Humboldt until we
reached the town Of Humboldt, a
barren stretch of country was
passed, in which nothing could be
seen but sage-brush and alkali. At
Winnemucca was found country
beginning to improve. At Battle
Mountain, still further East, we
found experiments in artesian we'll
boring very successful, the one at
the station being $50 feet deep and
flowing eleven feet above the sur
face, making a supply of $4,000 gal
Ions per day. From this point to
Elko there appeared to be one of
the very best ranges, controlled by
Russell and Bradley, whose head
quartes are at Elko and Battle
Mountain. William Dunphy.
wholesale butcher of San Francisco
owns 10000 acres of the range, and
has also large quantity of grazing
lands adjacent. In this one range,
from Battle Mountain to Elko,
distance Of $50 miles East and
West, and 50 miles North and
South, Of the tract, we made very
thorough examination as to the
character Of the lands and grasses;
also the seasons and water supply,
as well as the cattle running on the
range. The syndicate for whom we
are making this examination pro-
pose to purchase the property,
comprising 100000 acres of rail
road land and about 10000 acres of
Government land, which will prob
ably embrace all the best land in
this section with springs and water
supplies.
RAISING NORMANDY HORSES.
The following is taken from the
Reno Gazette:
S. Ganow, of the firm of Kellogg
& Co., the well-known horse breed
ers of Churchill county, is in town.
The firm probably has the largest
range in the State that is wholly
devoted to horse breeding. Their
range is in the northwest portion
Of the county known as Cherry
Valley, and is 40 miles wide and
60 miles long. They have stocked
it now with 1000 head of horses, a
large portion Of which is of the
Norman breed. They now have
800 head ready for market. Mr..
Ganow says all the horses Win
tered finely without being fed a
particle of hay are rolling in fat
now. He says they propose to de-
vote their attention to the Norman
grade of stock in the future, but
they have a fine lot of saddle and
road horses on hand but will prob
ably dispose of them the present
season.
CATTLE RODEO.
The following is from the Elko
Independent:
j. II. Crum gives notice to all
persons owning or claiming cattle
running on the range between Car
leo Lake and the Beowawe Hot
Springs, that he will begin rodeo-
