The passenger’s attention is directed to the elevation of each station.

 

The Silver State, a weekly newspaper,
is published here. Winnemucca is the
great distributing point for a number of
mining districts to the north and south, and
does an extensive freighting business.
Many herds of cattle and sheep range the
adjacent country, and large numbers are
brought here for shipment to California.

Mup Laxe—is about 50 miles west of
this station across the Humboldt, which
here turns to the south, and is one of those
peculiar lakes found in the great basin of
Nevada. The lake receives the waters of
Quinn’s River and several smaller tribu-
taries during the wet season. It has no
outlet, unless its connection with Pyramid
and Winnemucca lakes could be so desig-
nated. It is about 50 miles long by 20
wide, in high water; in summer it dwin-
dies down toa marshy tract of land and a

 

large stagnant pool. At the head of the |
lake is Black Rock, a noted landmark, in
this part of the country. It is a bold, rocky
headland, rising about 1,800 feet above the
lake, bleak, bare, and extending for several
miles. It is an isolated peak in this desert
waste, keeping solitary guard amid the
surrounding desolation.

Pyramip Laxe—is about 20 miles south
of Mud Lake, which receives the waters of
Truckee River. It is about 30 miles long
by 20 wide during the wet seasons. The
quality of the water is superior to that of
Mud Lake, though the water of all these |
lakes is more or less brackish.

Winnemucca Laxe—a few miles east
of Pyramid Lake, is another stagnant
pond, about 15 miles long by ten wide. This .
lake is connected with Pyramid Lake 2 a
small stream, and that in turn with Mud
