CUSTER CITY,

The pioneer town oftle Hills il situat-
cd in the southern portion about twelve
or fifteen miles from the foothills and
ITS natural advantages are acknowledged
ly all as eXcelliug all others either in
lc mining or agricultural districts.
located in a valley ten or twelve miles
long by one mile in width, it is easily
accessible t. railroad, ever from the

having this point in view. Thus situat-
ed il draws to It's support the business
of the mining districts nf he Southern
ILLS and also that of the farming and
stock raising interests, the latter eX-
tending for sixty miles to the south AMI
west. It is also the centre of the richest
mica district in the world, there being
within a radius of three miles no less
than a half dozen producing mines the
annual yield of which is upward Of
2O.UOO pounds of merchantable mica to
the mine. On the north. and from two
to ten miles from town are the bonanza
gold mines Of the Southern Hills includ-
ing the Grand Junction, Old Bill, Hart
ford, Atlantic, Salmon, st. Elmo, Penob-
scot, Gold Star and others, IA majority Of
which have mills, hosting works, etc,
now in operation. On the south for ten
or twelve miles are to be found rich cop
per and silver mines and on the west
the coal fields, gypsum beds, salt and oil
springs, while fertile farming lands are
sandwiched in between all. As an illu-
s~tration of the money to be made on
even a small piece of farming land in
:he valleys surrounding Custer we will
state that j. y. Wright on seventeen
acres, located two miles west of town,
cleared 81 800 in one summer On the
south, within six or eight hours ride,
are the famous Hot Springs, whose cur
alive powers are already attracting the
attention of the outside world, and
which are equal to those of Arkansas.
The town is the county seat of Custer
county, which hasan area of3,0O0 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 IA heavy growth of Norway pine.
The town has Il $4,000 court house, two
fine church-buildings, belonging to the
Methodist and Congregational societies,
and will soon have a large school build
ing. Business is increasing, improve
ments are being made daily and it is
bound TO be the metropolis ofthe South
ern Hills. All those of our eastern
reader who think of coming to Dakota
to locate aud invest in either mercantile,
mining, agricultural or stock-raising
pursuits can DO no better than to camp
in Custer county or city.
