STOCK RANCH
incorporation OF THE CAL
VADA COMPANY.
More Than $4,000 Will Be
Expended Immediately
In improvements.

The visit of Col. Dan Burns to this
section and his heavy investments in
local realty means that the colonel and
A. G. Shindler and H. j. Kinkead, the
gentlemen associated with him, will in
a short time have one of the largest
holdings of cultivated farm land in this
state.
Last week Attorney l.. N. French
completed drawing up the articles of
incorporation of the Calvada Company,
the stockholders of which are the above
named gentlemen. The incorporation
Is now regularly perfected in accer-
dance with the laws Of this state, and
as mentioned in our last issue, the sum
of $40, 900 viii be expended during the
present season alone in improving the
company's ranch holdings, which COM
prise three thousand acres in the Island
ranch district.
Already more than !, 900 acres have
been put in crop and last Monday wit
messed the first irrigation Of this area.
As an evidence that this work is not to
stop, bot will be pursued actively un-.
til the Calvada ranch is one vast ex-
panse Of waving gram ard alfalfa,
great deal of expensive modern ma
chinery has been ordered that will
greatly facilitate the work of leveling
and otherwise improving the land for
reception of the seed. An eighty
horse power traction engine was or
dered during Colonel Burns stay here
as were also combined harvester and
excavating machinery. the latter to be
used for ditch building. As Colonel
Burns expressed their policy in con-
nection with the development of the
Calvada ranch, it is summed up in the
few following words: 1--WE are going to
bring the ranch to the highest cul-
tivable state possible and we do not
believe in dilly dallying, but will go
ahead just as rapidly as money and
muscle will allow
The entire racing stable of Col.
Burns has been transferred from Cali
fornia to the Calvada ranch and it is
his intention to always keep them here
in the future. 1t has already been
demonstrated that there is no better
horse breeding country in the world
than this section and the future must
witness the production of world beat
ing running horses for the Burns stable
includes some of the highest class and
most expensive racing studs and brood
mares in the land.
Colonel Burns and his associates are
very much taken up with this country
and it is not all improbable that Colonel
Burns himself will take up his perman-
ent abode here. A. G.. SCHNEIDER, his
brother-in-law and business associate,
has already located here.
In connection with this subject it
might be well to add that it is highly
probable that the Burns racing horses
will be seen in action this fall on the
projected race track, which will be
built on the ground donated through
the public spiritedness and liberality of
Hon. w. w. Williams. Mr.. Williams
donated tract of land comprising more
than eighty acres situated on the west
end of his ranch just in the edge of town
and it is ample for stables and grand
stands in addition to mile course, as
the latter can be secured on tract of
56 acres, so we are informed.
In the event that local racing
will be had this fall, it is not all unlike
ly that books may be made and special
excursion trains run from Reno and
Goldfeld and Tonopah, for these GEN.
ters have some of the warmest sport
ing blood in the world and now that
California has closed its doors to the
race track gambler, Nevada is the only
state on the coast left open to the
manipulation of race track affairs as
they have been conducted in times
