The pioneer town ofthc Hills il situat.
eel in the southern portion about twelve
or fifteen miles from the foothills and
~ natural advantages are acknowledged
by alI ~ cXceiliug ali others either in
the mining or agricultural districts.
located in a VALLEY ten or twelve miles
long 10y u mile in width, it il easily
accessible to railroads either from the
east, south or west, and iSthe only town
in tie Hills that could he tapped by a
road running on an east and west line,
:rom either Pierre or chamberlain. To
tap any other town, a road, having as its
Dhic tive point the Yellowstone park or
, th" H:-!t:- r"2;:. would hav" 10 make n
lctour from 100 10 geo E!i.cs. Already
surveys have been run by %various roads
having this point in view. Thus situat-
ed it draws To it, support the business
of the mining districts Of The Southern
Hills and also that of the f rming and
stock raising interests, the latter ex-
tending for sixty miles to the south and
west. il 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
10000 pounds Of me~rchantablc 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, "A majority of
which have mills, hosting works, etc,
now in operation. On the south for ten
or twelve miles are to he found rich cop
per and silver mines and on the west
the coal fields, gypsum beds, salt and oil
eprings, while fertile farming lands are
sandwiched in between all. As an iliu-
s~tration of the money u 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 W. miles west of town,
cleared 81 800 in one summer. On the
south. within six ar eight hours ride,
are the famous Hot Springs, whose rnr-
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 hasa area $4,000 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 Il heavy growth of Norway pine.
The town has a $4,000 court house, two
hne chnrch-buildings, belonging to the
Methodist and Congregational societies,
and will o o 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
crn Hills. All those of our eastern
readers who think of coming TO Dakota
to locate and invest i'm either mercantile,
mining, agricultural or stock raising
pursuits can do no better than to camp
in Custer county or city.
