A natural road, over which the
United States mails have been carried
for many years, leads from Cheyenne
to Fort Laramie, a distance of ninety
miles. This route passes through a
settled country, and good ranches are
found at convenient distances from
each other. From Fort Laramie to
Custer and Deadwood City a good wag-
on road is found, which has recently
been shortened by our county officers,
thus reducing the distance necessary to
be travelled by freight teams over sixty
miles. The whole distance from Chey-
enne to Deadwood over this road is about
two hundred and thirty miles. The
