Fail To See Best OF
Nevada From Trains

"The tourist who crosses Nevada in a Pullman car sees so little
of the fertile valleys and timbered canyons that he thinks only Of
the present and past mining industry for which the silver State has
long been noted. 1t may therefore surprise some to learn" said
Supervisor I. J. Collins of the Toiyabe forest to the Salt Lake Her
ald-Republican, that the number of timber sales from the Toiyabe
forest were greater for the last fiscal year than from any other in
this district, and the volume of receipts from this class, $4,000. were
exceeded by only four forests in district No. A.
"Tbe timber consists principally Of pinyon pine and juniper
used most largely for mining timbers and fuel. There n also
small sales of cottonwood poles to the ranchers for construction of
cattle sheds.
1.-The deep mines of Tonopab and Goldfeld used sawed timbers.
which are brought in by rail from Truckee, Colfax and other Cali
fornia points. but the extensive gold mining camps of Manhattan
and Round Mountain and the quicksilver camps in the vicinity of
lone and Berlin derive their supply Of fuel and stulls from the Toiy-
abe forest A quicksilver retort burns about one and a half cords
OF wood In "a hours and these retorts are kept fred up every day
in the year.
The heavy SHOWS and cold Winters of 1868 to 1870, and the
scarcity of feed nearly wiped out the cattle and sheep industry in
central Nevada, but of recent years the cattle industry is coming
into its own again Indeed It'll rapidly supplanting the mining in
dushy in Importance and the old settlers who IRE most largely en-
gagged in the cattle business arr again becoming well to do.
This country is well adapted to cattle growing. because of the
four long ranges of mountains, the Monitor range, the Toquima
Toiyabe and Shoshone, named in order beginning from the West
of which the Toiyabe is the longest, extending for a distance of ! $50
miles, which furnish excellent Summer range of nourishing browze
and grass and a fair supply of water, and this near to the ranches
in the adjacent valleys on which plenty of hay can be put up for the
Winter.
"There n a many as Is hot springs on the Toiyabe forest or
adjacent thereto, most of which are in isolated localities and little
known. Only two have been developed and made into pleasure re-
sorts, the Darroughs Hot Springs, IL miles from Round Mountain
which can be visited by automobile, and the Smoky Valley Hot
Springs, IL miles south from Austin, also accessible by automobile.
The Darroughs Hot Springs contains boiling water, and is perhaps
the hottest in the State, being warm enough to cook a ham or pot
of beans.
"The wild horses of this region are gradually disappearing and
those left are hardly worth catching; albeit, the trappers continue
to get them in sufficient numbers for bait each Winter, and perhaps
500 or 1000 are annually shipped to the eastern market, where they
are sold for about, SO apiece. A recent law obliges hunters to fur
nish a bond to indemnify the owners of gentle horses which may be
mistaken for wild horses"

Breeds Of Fat Cattle

Salt Lake Telegram: We are curious to see the returns from
the fat cattle department of the Chicago live stock show. now on IL
Chicago. For several years the Polled Angus cattle have taken the
first premiums. This has been partly due to the Canadian ex
hibits, as Canadians are partial to that breed.
In the United States the Heretords have been the iavorltes on
the ranges, for when trouble comes and there Is danger OF starving
the Herefords never give mp, but keep rushlng.
But when most of the fat cattle come from farms, then the
Shorthorns will come into their own, for it is true that when the
feeding begins in cafhood and is kept up without relaxation the
Shorthorns at two years of age are equal to the Angus o galloway
at three ears. The records of English fairs show this. But on
tba RANGE the Shorthorn is easily discouraged, and if permitted to
grow poor the 6st and second Winters all the advantages ot the
breed are lost. For a comparatively warm range the Hereford Is
hest but for a cold range the Poled Angus is best, Tor a very colo
range and coarse grass the Galloways are BEST p' ior d i"m nei
there is shelter and good food every day there is no beef animal
comparable to the Shorthorn.

.If the State could just get the
help of these people in doing the
things that Nevada needs to have
done outside of office chasing and
political jockeying, the State would
profit in two ways--in greater pro-
