The distances from here to the hills

Cheyenne is situated at the juno
ton OF the Union Pacifir and Kansas
Pacific railroads, and about seventeen
miles east OF the Black Hills range,
on a high plateau of land, the eieva-
ton of which is about 6 ,UUD feet above
the sea level. A small stream, called
Crow Creek. fiDws down from this
range of Hills and through the vest
ern and southwestern part Of the
town site. Cheyenne Depot (snme-
times called Cainp Carlin) a military
supply posi-, where there are IA mum
Der of warehouses and store houses
for the safe keeping of military and
Indian stores, is two miles distant,
on Crow Creek, and has Il branch
railroad leading from 1t 10 the Union
