NEVADA STATE BOARD OF TRADE,(
RENO, NEVADA.
G. Corr, Frankfort w. Va
DEAR SIR: l send with this circu-
lar of the Board of Trade and the
reports of State officers which will
give you a good idea of this country
and its opportunities for settlers.
Should you come here you would
find land cheap and produce high.
Everywhere else you go you will
find produce cheap and land high.
There is not enough of anything
that we use produced in the State,
and the surplus has to be brought
in either from Utah, California or
the Eastern States. Our settlers
have put in their time largely in
raising stock and in mining, leav-
ing as good land as would be found
in America to lie in grass and feed
for cattle and sheep, SO you see
there is no present danger of rails
ing more farm produce than could
be sold for cash. Besides that, Cal
ifornia carries through from the
east large quantities Of farm and
dairy produce and poultry, which
Nevada could raise if we had the
hands to do it. When we bring in
fruit, vegetables, chickens, pork and
grain and other farm produce we
have to pay the price at the points
where they are produced and the
freight besides, SO that the man that
raises them at home can charge just
that much more for everything
We will be ready to meet you and
have some one to show you around
if you conclude to come out and we
will guarantee you the finest climate,
the best land, the largest prices for
produce, the kindest neighbors, with
good schools, churches, roads, and
all than any man needs to make a
comfortable home. This Board has
no interest in any land, but has been
organized to help men like yourself
to find what they want. would
not advise you to expect to come
and take Government land, but
rather to come and buy land with
water all ready provided for and
which is now devoted to pasturing.
If you could get up a colony you
will find a large ranch in Mason
Valley, about 100 miles southeast of
here, which you could boy in COM
pany and cut up to suit yourselves.
There is plenty of water, canals
built, 500 acres in alfalfa, with a
fine house and good improvements.
The tract contains about $4,000
acres and Walker River runs
through it. 1t is a good country
for fruit and potatoes, hay and veg
etables, and the market in the mines
further south is always good.
There is very rich land in the
valley around Lovelocks, a station
on the Central Pacific Railroad,
about 100 miles east of Reno. 1t
has a good climate and soil of
wonderful richness. 1t lies in the
bed of an ancient lake and is an al
luvial deposit full of decayed Tule
and willow roots. There is good
mining country around it and every
thing to make an industrious man
prosperous. Several men there
have more land than they need and
will sell at reasonable prices. Mar
ker Bros. have large ranch with
old water rights that they will di-
vide up and sell. One or more men
can go there and lease as much land
as they can work and they will take
part of the crop for rent. They
have already let 1000 acres to men
who are getting along nicely rails
ing wheat which they ship to the
big mills at Reno and get about
$2S ton for it on the cars at Love-
locks. j. II. Thies has 900 acres of
fine land with water rights and water
for irrigation, good house, barn,
fruit trees and garden all fenced,
which he will sell for $50 an acre.
1t is one mile from the station,
school house, Post Office and church,
and is good bargain. 1t raised
over 60 bushels of wheat to the acre
last year with only one irrigation.
w. c. Pitt has cut up two sections
of excellent land lying mile north
of same station, which he will sell
with water at from $40 to $50 an
l.
