CITY,

Az pbtl'y'
CUSTER CITY,
The pioneer town ofthe Hills is situat-
ed in the southern portion about twelve
or fifteen miles from the foothills and
its natural advantages are acknowledged
by all as excelling oil others either in
the mining or agricultural districts.
Located in q valley ten or twelve miles
long BY one nile in width, it is easily
accessible 10 railroads ei. acr from the
east, south or west, and l. he only town
in the Hills that could be tapped by n
road running on an east and west line,
from either Pierre or Chamberlain. To
tap any other town. a road, having as its
objective point the Yellowstone park or
the Pacific coast, would have to make n
detour from 100 10 200 miles. Already
surveys have been run by various roads
having this point in view. Thus situat-
eel it draws to its support the business
Of the mining districts of the Southern
Hills and also that of the farming and
stock raising interests, the latter ex-
tending for sixty miles to the south and
west. 1t is also the centre Of the richest
mica district in the world, there being
within q radius of three miles no less
than a half dozen producing mines the
annual yield of when is upward of
10000 pounds of understandable mica to
the mine. On the north, and from two
to ten miles from toxin 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 be found rich cop.
per and silver mines and on the west
the coal fields, gypsum beds, salt and OF
springs, while fertile farming lands are
sandwiched in between all. AS an illu
stration Of the money to be made or
even II small piece of farming land il
he valleys surrounding Custer we viii
state that J. y. Wright on seventeen
acres, located two miles west Of town
cleared 81 800 i'm one summer. On the
south, within six or eight hours ride
are the famous Hot Springs, whose cur
alive powers are already attracting tn,
attention of the outside world, anC
which are equal to those Of Arkansas
The town is the county seat Of Custer
county, which iasan area of 5000 square
miles. two-thiris of which is agriculture
and grazing lands and the other thir,
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 hou e, tive
fine cliurch-buiidings, belonging to the
Methodist ana Congregational societies
and will soon have a large school build
ing. Business is increasing, improve
ments are being made daily and ii i:
bound to be the metropolis'of The South
ern Hills. All those OF our eastern
readers who think Of coming to Dakota
to locate and invest in either mercantile
mining, agricultural or stock raising
pursuits can do no better than to cam
in Custer county or city.

Life in Uruguay.

Uruguay has delightful climate,
temperate and pleasant. The mercury
does not rise above eighty-five degrees.
The climate is salubriOus and the peo-
pie are subject to no disease in particu-
lar. There are thirty-four Americans
in Uruguay. The natives are remarka-
BILE for their refinement and intelligence.
They have large number of good
schools and colleges. The revenue of
the country is 100000. Their ex-
ports amount to $1,200,000 and their
imports to 100000. Twenty steamers
a day enter and depart from the port at
Montevideo. The people are engaged
largely in manufacturing and cattle
herding. Half million dollars worth
of cattle are killed each year for the
hides. 1t is strange thing, but the
people there will not use mare in any
way. The street railway company put
them before the cars and the people re-
fused to ride in the cars. Fine animals
of this kind, which would sell here for
$3.50, are sold there for s. and killed
for their hides. The natives are enter
prisihg and progressive. Ten years
ago they imported all of their wheat;
to-day they export 100000 bushels of
their own production. Uruguay is a
beautiful, blooming country, and its
scenery is a source of perpetual delight
to traveller within its bounds. at
tended wedding few weeks ago;
24O guests were present and finer APP
pearing, better dressed assembly have
never seen in any country. - william,
