And it has some of the best trout fishing around. Take, for example, the Wild Horse Reservoir on the Owyhee River north of Elko; the Ruby marshes southwest of Wells, and the Sunnyside district south of Ely. For height theres Wheeler Peak southeast of Ely. At 13,061 feet, its the loftiest mountain lying entirely within Nevada. (Boundary Peak on the California border is a few steps higher; its point is in Nevada but the bottom squashes out into California). The elongated patch of the Humboldt National Forest has Ruby Dome, 11,400 feet and a feature of the Ruby Mountain Scenic Area; Humboldt Mountain, 11,100 feet; Hole in the Moun--taiPeak, (cq), 11,276; Verdi Peak, 11,051; Wines Peak, 10,973; and Pearl Peak, 10,847. More than 300 miles long is the Humboldt River that courses through Elko, and the gold seekers of 1949 scoured every foot of it. The Humboldt, by the way, is landlocked. It sinks into the desert northeast of Fallon. Along its course emigrant bound for California had more trials and tribulations than a modem day taxpayer. One of the largest man-mad- e holes in the world, complete with tourist viewing stations, is near Ely.

Pioneers built the beehive-shapeovens to fry wood into a product that would smelt ores. Its a fair guess 40,000 sightseers and most of them will be from Utah will examine Lehman Caves in the northwest foot of Wheeler Peak. The Forest Service has chiseled a road from the coves, a National Monulevel of the peak, ment, to the 10,000-foand from there sightseers can amble up to the Bristlecone Pine country. e Pioche, the mining district that yields much of Nevadas frontier history, is a sight for sightseers who shouldnt oversight Cathedral Gorge, a state park at Panaca. South of Panaca is Caliente. The name is Spanish for hot, and the town has water that is naturally so. As in Europe, you can take the baths there. North from Wells 60 miles is Jackpot. It is the most brightly lighted hamlet in America, and from that standpoint is a sightseeing attraction. Reason for the exceptional lighting: Jackpots business district consists of three casinos, and, well, have you seen downtown Fremont street in Las Vegas? Remember Zane Greys book, "Riders of the Purple Sage? Nowhere can you get a better look at horseman on sagebrush plains than in eastern Nevada And the fragrance of the sage is exhilir-atin- g as it buds in spring. Another "bunch" of sights for eastern Nevada sightseers is its ghost towns. Ask the White Pine Chamber of Commerce and Mines at Ely for a list of names and h n old-tim- locations. |
