Reinhart and Stauffer ranches are
among the oldest places in the county
and are also among the most productive.
The firm has an office in town and Mr..
Merchants time is about equally divid-
ed between the ranches and the Office
in town. Both places are a favorlte
feeding ground for cattle driven into
Winnemucca for shipment and many
head are fed on them during the beef
shipping season. They art headquar-
ters for every cattle man off the ranges
Of Humboldt and nearly every bunch of
beef on the way to the markets of the
world find a convenient resting place
on the ranches. Mr. Merchant is as well
posted. perhaps, on the beef output of
the county as is any man within the
pared to feed and care for any number
that come along.
/ have not found it convenient yet to
visit the Nixon-Lee ranch and cattle
range, but will do so in few days and
