good condition before the recent
storms. and that up to the time OF
his leaving camp his losses had been
small.
From Fish Creek Valley
Earl Cobb and Pete and John Evans
returned to Eureka last night from
a three days trip with hay and grain
for sheep camps located in Fish Creek
valley. These were the first teams
to get through with feed, and they
report having had a hard trip,
especially over Pinto summit. While
several teams had preceded them
over the summit, the continued wind
and drifting snow for several miles
on each side of the summit makes it
necessary to break a new road each
day.
Cobb took out a four horse load of
grain for Leon Cora. who has 1000
head of sheep near Pogue's, and re-
ports upsetting his sled several times
on each side of the summit. He
says that the last four days of mild
weather has greatly encouraged the
men in charge of the thousands of
sheep in Fish Creek valley, and they
believe they can save the greater
portion of their focks if another
week of clear, mild weather prevails.
Cora has been losing about 100 head
per day this week, but considers
that is not bad under existing condi.
tons.
Cobb reports seeing a number of
dead cows and calves at the mouth
of Pinto canyon, and many of the
cows appeared to be in good flesh.
but the snow there was unusually
deep, and the cold and lack of all
feed no doubt caused them to quit
rustling.
Predicts Weak Stock Will Perish
Antoine Tognoni returned to Eu-
reka Wednesday with Is head of
cattle from Fish Greek valley, where
the most of his cattle are running
this Winter. He was with his cattle
in the valley for ten days and says
be expects to meet with heavy losses.
The stock he brought in were in poor
condition. but he thought if he could
get them to his ranch where he has
some hay he might save them. He
believes all stock on the ranges that
are not in good condition will perish
this Winter.
Will Try to Save Their Stock
Mike Vaccaro, Louis Gebellini, and
the Cardanelli brothers. all of Pros
pect, who have a number of cattle
Wintering in Fish Creek valley, have
arranged with Antoine Tognoni for a
quantity of hay and will try to round
up their stock and feed them until
they are able to get them out of the
valley. Tognoni left Eureka yester-
day with a load of hay, and the
others went out to the valley or
horseback.
