From Humboldt Sink we follow up the Sagebrush valley of the East Humboldt which is about the same as at Battle Mountain. Got dark as we reached Battle Mountain, but I have seen most of the country from there to Halleck. Reached Halleck at at 9.30 P.M. Came on the "Flyer" It went at the rate of 26 1/2 miles per hour including stops. Probably 30 miles per hour while running. It seemed to crawl. The fare at local rates is 5 [[cent symbol]] pr mile. From Truckee to Halleck - 372 miles - $18.60.
