have her sheep men gone for the best
strains in the most noted flocks Of the
world 1t is Churchill's motto to have
only the best, and live up to it the people
do. They find it pays and year by year
and season after season the blood Of
the herd and flock is improved Cost
is a small consideration.
The district abounds in the wonders
OF Mature. The rivers run not down
to the sea but starting in the crystal
SHOWS at mountain peaks wind like
silver ribbons through gorge and defile
and valley to the plain, to be kissed by
the sun to heaven again and move in
eternal circle to feed the thirsty earth
and fulfil the mission Of divine Prov
idence, make glad the heart of man
and swell his pocket book.
Soda Lake with an area of $50
acres and depth Of seventy-five feet
is soda factory. One-thlrd Of its
contents is soda which bubbles from
spring and adjacent to this great min
eral spring are others from which the
purest and coldest>of water flows. The
plant at the lake for making CONNER
cial soda and like products is valued
at 100000 and the equipment is the
best that can be had for money.
The marshes give up borax and salt
that are not inferior to any produced
in the world. This has been demon
strated in competition at the great ma
tional and International fairs. The
markets of the nation could be sup
piled from these Churchill County
fields, the material taken from the
marsh yielding an average Of ten per-
cent borax and the salt beds being prac-
ticably inexhaustible.
Sand Springs has no duplication in
this universe. A veritable spring OF
sand where the sand bubbles and flows
like water in large basin to the won
der and amazement of all beholders.
II is past belief to those who have not
visited there and viewed the curious
thing for themselves. Churchill County
is we'll ribbed with mountains and hills
but the roads are generally level and in
good condition. The Carson Sink
Mountains. running in northly di-
rection through the central portions Of
the county; the Clan Alpine Range,
next to the eastward; the Desatoiya
Range, forming the eastern boundary
of the county; the Humboldt and Night
ingale Mountains extending somewhat
southwark of the northern boundary
line; the New Virginia and Hot Springs
Mountains in the western part; are the
principal mountains of Churchill. In
these mountains springs are numerous,
nut pine timber is there sparsely
bunch grass grows luxuriantly and
keeps the cattle in fine condition, the
valleys are fertile and by irrigatine
yields large and profitable crops. But
best of all and what is destined to
make Churchill famous and add to the
wealth Of the Individual and the world
are the precious and commercial me-
tails stored away in the mountain vaults
awaiting the hand Of man to release
and make use Of them.
We believe the Lord made nothing
; in vain. We have reason for the be-
lief when we note the high hills Of the
county, Six thousand feet above sea
level is nearing the clouds. When
these sor5re visitors touch the hill
tops the blessings Of the people follow
The G.ntle rain descends from HEAVIER
