THE A. c. CLEVELAND RANCH.
Most Famous and Valuable Property
of the Kind i'm Nevada.
From the DeLamar Lode.

Probably one of the most famous
ranches in the West, and certainly the
most valuable in the State, is that of
the late A. c. Cleveland. 1t is located
in Spring Valley. White Pine County,
about 100 miles north from Phoebe. Ely
lies to the west about As miles, to north
one hundred miles is Frisco, and
Osceola is 16 miles southeast. From
these camps every Summer, and indeed
from all over the State come pilgrims,
anxious to escape the care and worry of
the busy world, and stretch themselves
on the green sward under the trees, to
catch the finny denizens of the
streams, and in general spend short
time "near to natures heart"
In extent the ranch covers 1900
acres divided into pastures, meadows.
ETC., for the accommodation of the diff.
ferent bands of blooded stock with
which the ranch is well supplied. 1t is
irrigated by the springs and streams
that flow from the Shell Creek noun
tains, the principal supply being OBJ
tanned from Cleveland creek, which has
its source 16 miles from the ranch and
furnishes about 900 miners inches.
Timber is plentiful in the neighbor-
hood, one large grove of red cedars be.
ing on the fiat near by.
The ranch produces an abundance of
grain and hay to supply the needs of
the cattle and horses. Four large fields
have been seeded down to white clover
and Kentucky blue grass, and over 500
acres to alfalfa which yields four crops.
Not less than 5000 tons of hay is put
up annually and twenty-five men are
required to take care of the crop during
the haying season, which lasts three
months. The ranch is also noted for
the excellent quality and variety of its
orchard and garden products.
The buildings are substantial and
convenient, no expenses having been
spared to make them the best in the
State. The barns are built stockade
fashion, lined ON the inside with lum-
Der. They have plank flooring and the
roofs are covered with dirt to lessen the
danger from fire. One of them is fur
nished with 120 box stalls, each 12x12
feet, for the cattle and horses.
The chicken coop is better than the
average dwelling house and contains
apartments connected with separate
yards for the different breeds of feath-
cred favorites, which are kept to
themselves Besides the many build
ings common to all first-class stock
farms, is a store better stocked than the
average country grocery, and large
building for the use of visitors. of which
there is no less than hundred at pres
ent.
Besides bunch of 80 thoroughbred
Herefords, and another of Shorthorn
Durhams numbering 10, are large herds
of finely graded cattle. There is also q
large band of graded horses that make
first.class roadsters.
At the home is fine grove of trees
trimmed so high that they do not inter-
fere with the view or stop the circula-
ton of the zephyrs close to the ground.
1t is an ideal spot.
Among other unusual features might
be mentioned the fact that the farm is
absolutely free from weeds. Every gate
on the ranch can be opened or closed by
a horseman without the necessity of
dismounting. The implements are of
the latest and best and everything indi-
Gates that convenience and the saving
of labor has been reduced to science.
