Freight Rates-Ete

In answer TO the hundreds OF
communications we are in daily re-
ceipt of, we have compiled the bud
get of information herewith given,
for the benefit of all who are afflicted
with the Black Hills fever. While
it is not as complete as we desire
and promise to make it, we think it
will answer most of the questions
asked.
The first query ~propounded is
whether we really believe there is
gold in the Black Hills. This has
been too well proven to admit OF
doubt. Gold is found in paying
quantities in nearly all portions of
the region, the richest discoveries
having been of quite recent occur-
renee, on Deadwood and Whitewood

1t will cost less to outfit here than
to bring outfits with you. Heavy
stocks and hot competition cause
this. We do not say SO because we

yet to see the man who has outftted
elsewhere who does not affirm that
his outfit has cost him at least 25
per cent. more than it would if pur-
chased here.
