Information Of Interest TO Those
Who are Going There.
Cheyenne the Place to Outfit at.
Freight Rates-EIe.

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 Whitcwood
creeks, some sixty miles from Custer
City, which is now a large and -four
ishing town, with regularly elected
officers, a full complement of bust
ness houses, etc.
West and north of the Black
Hills lie extensive mountain ranges
of similar formation, which have
been but little explored, but which
are full of gold and silver, which lat
ter metal has been discovered in
large and rich veins, within thirty
miles of Custer City. Good gold
quartz mines have also been found
in the Hills.
DISTANCES.
Following we give the distances
from Cheyenne to the Black Hills,
the points mentioned being, as will
be seen, at convenient distances
apart for camping, and having ac-
commodations for travellers.

Total, 1855
These distances are by the road
soon to be built by the citizens o
Cheyenne. By the road now travel
ed the distance from Cheyenne to
Custer City is 246 miles.
TRANSPORTATION, ETC.
Our forwarding houses can fur
nish transportation for 2,OO0,O 900
pounds at a shipment. Freight
charges, Cheyenne to Custer, range
from 81 to 6 cents per pound, ac-
cording to kind of animals employed
and time consumed on the road.
Horses are plenty and cheap here.
Prices range as follows: Well-bro
ken saddle horses, $35 to $75 each ;
Or with saddle, bride, etc., from $40
up. Well-broken work teams, 800
to $3.50 per span ; single carriage
horses, 800 to $3.50 each mules,
5000 to $500 per span.
1t will cost less to outfit here than
to bring outfits with you. Heavy
stocks and hot competition
this. We do not say SO because we
are paid for it but because we have
yet to see the man who has outfitted
elsewhere who does not affirm that
his outfit has cost him at least 25
per cent. more than it would if pur-
chased here.

which, to my mind. presents more advan.
teges than any other route, the map of
which, from my own s0undings and obser-
vstions, place before you, for the correct
ness of which will v0uch. Here, - you
will zee, ct the gulf end, We have bar
with only nine feet Of water. But this diff
GUILTY was overcome, under similar C0ndi-
:ions, at the Sues canal, and perhaps many
other places where there is no sedi-
ment This accomplished, the balance of
the work il . mere question of dollars,
and think the estimates which have
made will be more than ample to cover the
outlay for depth Of twenty four feet; then.
of course, with the assets Of the canal. as
sisted 40 we will be by nature, the work Of
will give New Orleans and the people of
the Mississippi valley deep, cheap and re-
liable gateway second to no port in the
world; and without OBTAINING you to listen
to what may say of its advantages, l can
not close without Saying build this canal
and you will hear NO more of the burning
of corn in the West for fuel, or children Of
Great Britain crying for bread, or of riots
in the coal mines of New York, Ohio and
Pennsylvania; neither of strikes along the
lines of their great railways. And even
more than that; you will stretch the sinews
of commerce across this continent from
North to South, which will be more power
full and effective than bsyonets, or lasting
than bonds of triple steel.
Mr.. President, have done. My duty is
performed. Think of these facts. Make
up your minds to take your destinies into
your own handle, for 30 sure as you do help
will soon come to get you out of those
troubles. thank you for your attention
while have, to the best of my poor ability,
presented facts that others more competent
may utilize for our common c0untry's good.

A North Carolina Parsen on the 'sLost
Causo.0

The lost cause survives Justify in North
Carolina, to Judge from the speeches deliv-
cred in the Confederate Cemetery at Char
lotte on the tenth instant, being their memo
rial day. The orator of the occasion was the
Rev. I. Taylor Martin. who, in recalling the
tissues OF 1901" said:
The South is to-day ruled over by the
miserable thrall of Yankeedom; but they
can not muzzle our chivalry and patriotic
devotion to the lost cause. We fought for
our rights, but in Gods dispensati0n we are
now vanquished but not cowed."
That perhaps was no less than was to
have been expected of those who had only
surrendered their cause at the point of the
bayonet, and when it was h0pelessly lost.
That natural pride which prompts men to
vindicate their past naturally prevented
any admission that the lost cause was q
wrong cause. Referring to it over the
graves Of their own dead, who had fallen
in behalf of that cause, extravagant eulOgy
of it and them was of course to have been
anticipated. But the orator did not stop
there. Referring to the future he declared:
Slavery was . divine institution, and we
must have that institution or the South
will ever be bankrupt. They speak of our
cause as the "lost cause" If so, ehall it
has sprung up, aud at q not tar distant day
there will be ''stars and bars" floating
proudly over our sunny South. In the next
political campaign we must, even if in the
minority, support . Southern man who will
build M our interests and hurl the Yankee
plckpockets from our midst. We are to-day
united to the Puritanical host by an arti-
fetal tie; but we are q distant people, and
God and the right will enable Us to show
the world the truth and the equity OF our
claims. Our statesmen now in Congress
the cream of that body, and are the only
element that ref cts credit on the United
States. Is it not better to hang on to the
''lost cause" than to stay in 8 government
of corruptionf
Itis gratifying to learn that to this latter
query q few in the crowd responded NO."
while the rest maintained an smnous
silence. All evidently felt that the orator
had said too much. and yet at last probably
he only expressed the sentiment of nine
tenths of his hearers, but which they feel it
foolish to avow because hopelessly cher
ished. There is nothing alarming about
such utterances as these; but they seem to
reveal more clearly the true sentiments of
the constituency represented by the Con-
federates in Congress, whose utteranceA,
through such men as Ben Hill, SO startled
the country.-Chic1go Tribune.
