? v ...Trip to Lake Valley... At Caliente,Nevada,August 30,1915. Mr. E. E. Calvii^ • Mr. J. Ross Clark, Special Committee. Dear Sirs; Messrs. Warm, White, Mander field and I met President Hendrick, Dean Scrughara and Dean Knight, of the State University of Nevada, at Caliente yesterday morning and went to Pioche, where, at the request of State Senator Lee, State Representative Beason and several other citizens of Pioche, we made an automobile trip through what is known locally as Lake Valley. Leaving Pioche we went north along the same valley that our line occupies from Caliente to a point near Pioche, for a distance of about twenty-five miles, this valley on the average being only about two miles in width and running into the foot hills of mountain ranges on both east and west sides. At a point about twenty—five miles north of Pioche, there is a ridge extending entirely across the valley from one mountain range to another which cuts off all surface drainage from the north and Lake Valley, so-called, lies immediately north of this ridge. Lake Valley is about thirty miles long and varies from ten to fifteen miles in width, being bounded on each side by high mountain ranges, some of the peaks of which attain an altitude of 10,000 or 11,000 feet
