PROSPERITY RULES
IN SOUTHERN END

The streets of Lovelock presented a
lively appearance Saturday evening
and Sunday, not unlike the time when
the Rochester boom was on. This
was due to the fact that haying is in
full blast in the valley, and it is esti-
mated that fully $50 extra men are at
work within FIVE miles of town, most
of whom come to town Saturday even
ing or Sunday.
This year one of the best crops in
the history of the valley is being har-
vested. The average yield of hay for
the entire valley, first crop alone, is
estimated at three tons to the acre.
The season has been propitious, with a
fair supply of water in the river for
irrigation, which has been augment
ed by frequent rains.
| 1t is thought that about three weeks
more will be required to harvest the
hay crop. While help is plentiful, at
$500 per day, there was considerable
delay in getting to work, due to the
heavy rains and three-day Fourth of
July celebration. Then occasionally
there comes day when the wind
blows so hard that but little can be
accomplished.
| There was no occasion for a Winnie
mueea man to feel lost in Loyelock
Sunday, for by looking about he could
have seen his neighbors on all sides.
Among the number were T. J. d. Salt
er, of the law firm of Salter, Robins
Dunn. The latter was also In Love
lock, and it is understood that after
considerable difficulty, the gentlemen
succeeded in renting an office on the
east side of the track, next door to
the opera house. j. p Grandel, the
popular local tailor, was fitting par
italy made suits of clothes and TAX
ing orders for more. Tom Hoy, of the
| Up-to-Date cafe, was there, establish
ing Sam Dong in the Northern cafe.
Frank l.. Reber, the ubiquitous editor
of the National Miner, was extolling
the virtues of Rochester, and Hugh l..
Thomas, general manager of the Utah,
Nevada Idaho Telephone company,
was exceedingly busy, notwithstand-
ing the day was Sunday. Tom Arden.
who conducted the Eldorado cafe here
for few weeks recently, has rented
the old Review Miner building and
will probably have opened restaur-
ant before this appears in print.

Oreana was also busy town Sun
day afternoon, and it is probable that
there were fully $50 people there at
that time. Thirty-fve of these were
engaged in building the narrow guage
railroad, running from the town four
and half miles mp to the mouth of
Limerick canyon. Here it meets the
new wagon road, over which ore from
the Codd mines will be hauled. 1t is
said that the road will be in operation
next Sunday. although the first of the
month will probably be nearer the
time. The Southern Pacific has
large extra gang at work building the
new station This will be situated
about fifty feet north of the water
tank and possibly a quarter of mile
from the old depot. Then there are
large number of freighting outfits
there, which had brought in ore from
the mines. II is estimated that at
present there are three carloads day
being shipped
A number of Winnemucca people
are living at Oreana, all engaged in
business. Mrs. w. R. Rich has the
one grocery of the town, Mr.. Stafford
next door. conducts a restaurant. al.

Harve McAdams is running corral
and up to Sunday had monopoly on
the water. Jess Oliver, formerly a To-
cal bartender, is conducting a saloon
in the Vance addition
Miller & MeGinnis, who conduct the
Miller hotel, are doing a capacity bust
ness, both with their rooms and res
taurant. Sunday Mr.. Miller finished
well. having struck water at seven
feet He sunk to depth of thirteen
feet, and has six feet of fine water
This hotel is supplied with a bath on
each of the two floors, luxury not
usually found in new town.
Oreana has every indication of
growing into prosperous town of
several hundred inhabitants. At pres
ent it is handicapped by lack of post
office facilities and pace officers. but
these will no doubt be supplied in the

in names. About the time it announe
ed that it would move its depot, the
Southern Pacific changed the name of
the station to Nixon, and application
was made to the department at Wash
ington for postoffiee by the same
name. IL was then discovered that
there was already postoffiee by that
name in Nevada, since which time the
matter has been held up. The rail
road company, however, again chang
