/ NJ touhNN, liC IlkO ITec IIeSS OF
last Saturday.
Today is warm with warm south
wind which is rapidly taking off the
inch of snow which fell last night.
The sun is shining brightly with clouds
gathering from the south We will,
no doubt, have more storm, which,
/ Judging from the feeling of the atmos-
| phere at this time, will be rain In
/ the valleys north of the railroad the
snow Is, on an average, about ~ in
ehes at this time; a week ago it was
IS inches Reports from North Fork
show that there is plenty of hay to
feed all cattle up until the middle of
March. The snow in and around 1'us.
carora IS now from one foot to is in
ches but is fast going off. Some cattle
have been lost on the desert north of
Tuscarora, but it has not been heavy
Very few cattle arc on the desert as
this time rs most OF them have been
gathered in and are being fed. The
snow on that desert is about one foo,
deep. We have no reports from Mar.
dis as the mail has not been able to
get through for over a week. The car
rier is supposed to be At Mardis, hav-
ing left Deeth about week ago
On the Truett and Anderson range
north OF Dcelh the snow is about rs
inches and badly crustcd. All horses
and cattle are being fed. Plenty OF
hay to feed until the last OF March.
The Marys river Land and Cattle
Co. shipped about 1000 head OF strong
cattle from Deeth the last week. This
relieves them to the extent that they
will have enough hay IT we have an
ordinary spring.
We have no reports from north OF
Wells, but in Clover valley all stock
are being fed and plenty of hay.
In Starr valley and Lamoille the
snow is about rs inches. Reports
show plenty OF hay to carry the stock
over.
In South Ruby there is no snow or
very little, mostly ice. Stock are do
ing well and plenty Of hay No snow
at all on the east side of Rnby.
In Huntington valley and south
there is no snow in the valleys. Louis
Borges, who came in yesterday from
Duckwater, reports no snow and the
sheep are doing fine,
Along the HUMBOLDT river from
Oslno to Carlin there is very little
snow with the south sides of the hills
rapidly becoming bare.
Mr. Mahoney from Bcowawe re-
ports no snow in that vicinity but that
the fields are covered with ice, max
ing it very slippery for stock in the
fields.
The snow in Secret Pass is from
three to four feet deep. The stage is
making regular trips though the wind
has drifted the snow badly. thus pre-.
venting a good track being made.
The beef cattle OF w. Smith and A.
Gardner, came through here this
week, which should improve the
road
Chauneey Griswold returned yes
terday from his sheep range in the
south He reports no snow and the
men working without coats.
Summing up the whole situationin
this county we gather from the ranch
ers in the various localities that there
has been no unusual loss among the
small farmers; that among the large
owners who trust to cattle wintering
out upon the winter ranges there has
been some loss, but it has not been
heavy anc the loss occurred during the
early part of the winter while cattle
were being gotten into tho ranches
to feed.
The cattle of John G. Taylor and
the Spanish ranch are reported in
fine condition Almost all are on
feed, possibly a couple of hundred
on the range. Their loss will come
close to normal. The snow is rapid
ly disappearing, and in many places
the ground is bare. Elko Free Press.
