strange monument of wealth, which is

built on the shore of Washoe lake.
The site was one of extraordinary
beauty, with the wall of snow capped
Sierra behind it, the sapphire sweep of i
water in front. Money was never con

built of quarried stone and furnished
with the costliest San Francisco could

flocks are in fine condition physically
and the average price commanded by
their avoo! for the three years is 20
cents, or a little more than $2 per
head each year. In this connection |
Mr. Archer is quoted as saying: “I
knew that the Merino breed never
failed in any country as the basic,
foundation of the sheep business, |
either for wool, or eventually, mutton,
and I did not believe our Southland
would form any exception. Now, my
judgment, experience and work are
in harmony when I assert that T was j
right and am right yet about this all-
important consideration of the sheep
business, with a heavy, fine wool

damental prerequisite, with a univer
sally known, healthy sheep and a prof
