~cLEvELAND's RANCH.
The Most Famous and Valuable
Property of the Kind in
Nevada.

Probably one of the most famous
ranches In the west, and certainly the
most valuable In tho state, Is that OF
81 . late A. C. Cleveland. Il is located
In Spring valley, White Pine county,
about 100 miles north from Phoebe.
Ely lies to the west about 45 miles, to
the north 100 miles is Frisco, and Usceo-
L. Is 16 miles south east. From these
camps every summer, and indeed from
all over the state come pilgrims, anx-
ious to escape the care and worry of the
busy world, and stretch themselves on
the green sward under tho trees, TO
catch the 6nny denizens OF the streams,
and In general spend a short time near
to natures heart"
In extent the ranch covers II, 600
acres divided into pastures, meadows
etc, for the accommodation oil the dif-
ferent bands of blooded stock with
which The ranch Is we'll supplied. 1t is
irrigated by the springs and streams
that flow from the Shell Greek oun
tains, tho principal supply being OBJ
tanned from Cleveland cresk which has
It's source 16 miles from the ranch and
furnishes about 900 miners inches.
Timbsrs Is plentiful In the neighbor-
hood-one large grove of red cedars
being on the fiat near by.
The ranch produces an abundance OF
grain and hay 70 supply the needs OF
the cattle and horses. Four large fields
have been seed ed down to white clover
and Kentucky blue grass, and over 800
acres In alfalfa, which yields four crops.
Not less than 5000 tons of hay is put up
annually and twenty five men arc re-
quired to take care of the crop during
the hayiDg 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 expense having been
spared to make them the best In the
state. The barns are built stockade
fashion, lined ON the inside with lumber,
They have plank flooring and the roofs
are covered with dirt to lessen the
danger from fire. One of them is fur
nished with 100 box stalls each Il K 10
feet, for tho cattle and horses.
Tho 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 them
selves. Besides the many buildings
common to all frst-class stock farms,
10 q store better stocked than the aver
age country grocery, and a large build
ing for the use of visitors OF which
there are quite a number at all times
Of the year.
Besides a bunch of so thoroughbred
Herefords and another OF Short-horned
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 a fne grove of trees
trimmed so high that they do o in
terfere with the view or stop the cir
culation OF the zephyrs close to the
ground. It 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 me-
cessity of d~ismountiug. The impli-
ments are OF the latest and best and
everything indicates that convenience
and the labor has been reduced to a
Observation-Disclosures Lode.
