PROSPERITY FOR L0VELOCK,

A representative of the Silver State
had occasion to visit the thriving town
Lovelock yesterday, arriving there on
the early morning train.
A. R. Edmondson, one of the bustling
business men OF the town, boarded our
train at Humboldt House, and as the
hour of our arrival was prior to the
opening of the hotels, he very kindly
opened up his store and entertained US
until later, when we dropped over to
FELIX'S and enjoyed first-class break
last. On coming out we first met w. G.
Pitt, formerly assemblyman from this
county and one of the foremost ranchers
OF the valley. He invited us to take
ride, and in short time we arrived at
Joseph Marzen's. About every one in
the State is familiar with the fact that
he has one of the best farms and finest
herd of thoroughbred cattle on the
coast, but both his farm and his cattle
must be seen to be appreciated. Mr..
Marzen also believes i'll injoying life and
with that in view has home handsome
enough to grace city, with all modern
conveniences.
After short social call with his esti-
mable wife, he invited US to inspect
some of his best livestock before taking
our departure. He recently visited the
state of Missouri and while there. pur-
chased the best short-horn Durham bull
that he could find, and while we may
not be an authority on such subject, we
are free to stake what reputation we
have that no finer animal in shape or
color can be shown by any breeder in
the world. Mr.. Marzen justly feels very
proud of his purchase. We have not
the space to enumerate all the high bred
and high price stock we saw, but we can
say that Mr.. Marzen has small fortune
invested in some OF the best stock we
have ever seen. After presenting us
with a mammoth watermelon raised in
his garden we came back to town.
In conversation with F. A. Peltier, the
able manager of the Lovelock CONNER
cial Company, we learned that the prob
able value of the wheat crop at Love
lock this year will come close to the
5000, 900 mark, while the hay crop will
be about the same value, making total
yield Of $400. 900 or more.
As near as we could learn, the principal
wheat raisers are Hi Stoker, w. G. Pitt,
L. N. Carpenter, J. H. Thies, Jos. Hill,
John Reed, Tiff Hauskins, John Hill,
W. C. Hatton, H. G. Hardesty, S. R.
Young and several renters whose names
we did not learn. The result of the
large crops and good prices has made
everybody down there feel good. While
the hay crop is large and the local de-
mand not very encouraging, the high
price for hay in California promises to
open up large shipping trade, and it
appears more than likely that several Of
the California butchers will feed beef
later on.
w. C. Pitt has already sold large
quantity of his hay to ]. G.. Taylor, the
sheepman, and Jos. Hill has rented his
vast fields of pasture to the Golconda
cattle company.
Rube Battles, the obliging manager OF
Young's hotel, and Ed. Emmons of the
Lovelock hotel are both smiling and
happy over the thought of the improved
condition Of everything.
Martin Donelin, one of the best agents
the SouthernrPa Pacific Company has, is
still in charge of the railroad office; in
fact, he is fixture there, and the peo-
pie of Lovelock would feel lost if he
should leave.
While our stay was limited we saw
and heard enough to convince us that
Lovelock will experience one of the
most prosperous seasons this year that
she has ever had.-Silver State.
