The feeding of cattle and sheep
shipped in from other points is receiv-
ing a great deal of attention from
the ranchmen in this valley. A more
complete description of this industry
will be given in another part of the
report. The other crops grown here
are wheat, barley and potatoes. Gull
tivated lands are worth from $50 to
$50 per acre.

the little Humboldt is about four
miles from Winnemucca. Below this
point the Humboldt receives no trib-
utaries of Importance and the irriga-
ton is limited to two localities. one
along the river near Humboldt House
and the other in the valley about
Lovelocks and extends nearly to Hum
boldt lake.
The irrigation near Humboldt House
which is situated about 40 miles be-
low Winnemucca is along both sides
of the river for a distance of eight or
ten miles. There are 4.S40 acres
irrigated. This land is almost ex-
clusively devoted to winter grazing.
Only a few IONS of hay are cut, the bal
ance of the crop being pastured with
cattle and horses during the autumn
and winter months.
LOvELOCKS VALLEY
The lower Is or IS miles of the
course of the Humboldt river lies
through the Loveloeks Valley. This
is n of the largest and most impor-
tant valleys on the Humboldt. The
river in this section cuts it's channel
Is or 25 feet below the general level
of the surface of the ground, neces-
stating the use of bitches some miles
in length to get the water onto the
land. There were about $4,000 acres
producing crop under irrigation in the
year 1900. The water is supplied
through six bitches. These are. be-
ginning with the highest: Young
Old Channel Ditch, Irish-Amer-
lean Ditch. Southwest Ditch, Rogers
and Union Canal. In the aut-
umn of 1900 another ditch was taken
out of the Humboldt river about six
miles below the head of the Union
Canal. This canal was built by the
Lovelocks Land and Development Co.
to irrigate lands on the old tule beds
formed by the spreading out of tse
humboldt river some six or eight
above Humboldt lake. The lands

MORE ABOUT
THE HUMBOLDT
University Bulletin Description
of Valleys Along the
Stream

Below Golconda ranches are found
along the river, and, with the excep-
ton of the first ranch at Golconda
the Humboldt furnishes the water for
all irrigation along this section. At
Golconda two small streams from the
south, Rock Creek and Pole Creek,
furnish some water for irrigation. On
Pole Creek two small reservoirs have
been built for utilizing the flood wat
ers. The crops of Golconda are alf-
alta. native hay and potatoes and 615
acres are irrigated. Below Golconda
ranches are located on each side of
the river to a point about II miles
below Winnemucca. The distance
along the river is about 25 miles. Ma
tive hay and pasture are the only
crops grown in this section. The to-
tai area irrigated is about S,640 acres.
PARADISE VALLEY
Paradise Valley is situated a little
east of north of Winnemucca and is
alout 40 miles distant. 1t is located
in the midst of a valley in which
about 1880 acres are irrigated. This
valley is watered from the Little Hum
boIdt and it's tributaries. The two
principal tributaries are Martin Creek
and Cottonwood Creek. The Little
Humboldt enters Paradise Valley from
the east and flows south along the
east side of the valley. Martin Creek
is from the north and flows through
the central part of the valley. Cot
tonwood Creeks flows south along the
western side and catches the flow of
a number Of smaller creeks which
come from the eastern slope Of the
Cottonwood mountains. The points
where Martin and Cottonwood creeks
enter the Little Humboldt are not far
apart and for five or six miles above
the confluence the streams have
~ p~arallel courses and are about a
mile distant from each other. Irri-
gotion from Martin creek and from
Cottonwood Creek is confined TO Para
disc Valley. while the Little Hum
boldt furnishes water for the irriga-
ton of some 4.275 acres above the
valley. In Paradise Valley there were
renorted 12.O62 acres that were irri-
gated from all sources in 1900, and
in the valley about Willow Point
there were 10000 acres that are usu-
ally irrigated. but in 1900 the wtear
supply was so much reduced below
the normal that the water was all ia
ken from the streams before reaching
this part of the valley.
The crops grown in Paradise Valley
depend uDon the location. These
ranches that are located higher up on
the streams and along the tributaries
near the mountains have, owing to
a more abundant water supply, a WIDER
range of crops than the lands of the
lower valley. Native hay, alfalfa,
wheat, barley, oats, potatoes, orchard
fruits and irrigated pasture are the
crops found in the upper valley. In
the lower parts of the valley, native
hay and pasture are the only crops
irrigated. Lands are valued at $40
TO s25 per acre.

Little Humboldt is sufficient to reach
