The Black Hills is a well watered
country, being drained by the forks of

rate of interest is that there are SO many
opportunities Of investing money to
good advantage that few people have

exceeded the supply.

county, which has an area of3,000 square
miles. two-thirds of which is agricultural
and grazing lands and the other third
mineral, the latter occupying the north
ern portion of the county are covered
with a heavy growth of Norway pine,
The town has Il $4,000 court house, two
