The other route is by way of Reels
ranch, down Horse Greek to near its
mouth, crossing the North Platte
River at Nick JaniSe'S ranch, about
thirty miles east of Fort Laramie,
and thence in a n0rtheasterIy direc-
ton, over a good road, to Red Cloud
Agency. This route is also travelled
by a stage line, which carries the
mail and passengers from Cheyenne
to Red Cloud and Spotted Tail
Agencies, owned by Hoshier and
Cinnamond, and also by freight
trains, ranchmen and settlers. This
route is settled up as far as the Platte
River, and all of the Indian goods
for these agencies, and most of the
military supplies for the two mill
tary posts at the agencies, Camps
Robinson aud Sheridan, are trans
ported over it. The fare to Red
Cloud is fifteen dollars, and the dis
lance from there to the Black Hills
is about fifty miles. The following
table of distances by this route is also
correct:

HOW To REACH THE BLACK HILLS.
Without decryiug any of the pro-
posed routes from points on the
Upper Missouri River, we assert that
the route from Cheyenne nOrthward
is the safest, speediest, cheapest and
best, to reach the Black Hills.
Cheyenne Is at the junction Of the
two competing railroads from the
east-the Union Pacific and Kansas
Pacific. 1t will be two days rail
road tnivel to Cheyenne from Chicago
or st. Louis. The following liable
will show the distance and present
rate OF fare from these two points to
Cheyenne:

We are credihly informed by the
representatives of these two railroad
companies, that special rates will be
given from Chicago and from st.
Louis to Cheyenne, to Black Hill
parties, which will be at least one
third less than the abuYe ntes.
FROM CHEYENNE TO THE BLACK
HILLS.
There are twD routes that may he
taken to the hills from here. The
one by way of Fort Laramie, Raw
Hide Buties, Old Wnman's Fork
and Beaver Creek il 1872 miles. This
route passes through n settled coun-
try for a hundred miles or so. Good
ranches will be found every few
miles as far as Fort Laramie. There
Is now Il stage line on it owned by
j. G. Abney, that carries the United
States mail To and from the Fort,
and also passengers at ten dollars a
piece. This line will he extended to
the Black Hills right away, if the
government permits II To be done.
The road is an unusually good one,
and is constantly travelled by the
military, by freighterS, by ranch
men, settlers and Others. The fol-
lowing table Of distances over this
route is correct:
