MRS. HILL SELLS
VALUABLE RANCHES

+ The most important deal In live
stock and real estate that has taken
place in this county for some time was
consummated yesterday when Mrs. d.
NJ. Hill sold two OF her ranches and
all of her livestock to John J. Hyl-
ton.
The Rancho Grande. one of the big
gest ranches in the county, and the
Devils Gate ranch, nearly twenty
miles long. are included in the sale.
Mrs. Hill retained what is known as
the Haystack ranch.
1t was away back in the early pio-
neer days that Dan Murphy, father
of Mrs. Hill. and one OF the most wide.
ly known and highly honored men in
the west, secured these extensive an
valuable holdings. After his death,
which occurred in the sos, they were
owned by Dan Murphy, Jr., and Mr.
and Mrs. Morgan Hill. Mr.. Hill man.
aged and improved them until two
years ago, when he passed away. Lat.
er Dan Hill Jr. died, leaving Mrs. Hill
;he 3Cie owESr. interviewer with the
history OF these ranches are import
ant bits OF history OF Nevada, for
stronger characters. better citizens. or
truer friends never liver than the
Daniels Murphy and Morgan Hill. They
occupy conspicuous place in our
states history.
We trust th&t the sale of these
ranches will not end Mrs. Hill's resi-.
dence here. BY her gracious manner
her liberality. and her keen interest in
the welfare of those about her, she
has greatly endeared herself TO the
people of this community. and il IL
hoped that she will always look tC
Elko as her home.
Besides the competence Mrs. Hill re-
ceived from the sale of these exten
sive holdings. she has her beau
tiful home on the hill, built few
years ago at cost of $4,000. and the
Haystack ranch.
To Mr.. Hylton. who purchased this
property, we extend best wishes foi
success in his new venture. He too
has been an important figure in state
building. and the history OF his life
furnishes inspiration OF the highest
kind. He came to this state a penni
less young man without friends or re
latives. By his industry and square
dealing he has risen to a foremost
place in the financial and political af
fairs of the state. He is the largest
individual land and cattle owner In
Elko county, and his name is one oI
the most familiar in Nevada.

der this head, approximately $4,000

$4,000 for building and improving
