Lovelocks has a prospect of becoming a town. It is located about in the center of a very fine tract of land, known as the Humboldt Meadows. While there is much poor land in the valley, there is some of it wonderfully rich, having been deposited by floods in the Humboldt. The area cultivated this year is larger than ever before. There are 1500 acres in grain and 1000 in hay—500 of it alfalfa, the rest wild hay. About 600 acres of new land have been broken up this spring. The voters number 81, out of a population of less than 150, showing that there are a good many bachelors. There are two good schoolhouses, nice depot, a hotel, saloons, etc., where three years ago there was nothing. Some mines in the vicinity promise to aid in the development of the town. Trinity canyon, twelve miles off, is showing well. The I X L district is thirty-five miles away and Eagle is twenty miles east.
