Custer City.

The following taken from the Hot
Springs Star is strongly suggestive of a
pleasing contrast with many Of the ex-
pressions Of our Black Hills contempo-
raries with reference to adjacent towns,
and we are pleased to note a desire
upon the part Of the people of Hot
Springs to unite with Custer in a co.
operative effort to attract public atten.
ton to the respective advantages and
surprising Of the two places.
Yes, come to Custer by all means before
leaving the Springs for your homes, and
see the pioneer city, noted for her
picturesque beauty, wonderful climatic
advantages. and mineral resources. The
fame Of the Hot Springs is spreading
far and wide, and if the half Of the
visitors to that wonderful health resort
should visit Custer, our hotels would in
time be crowded to the fullest capacity /:
I'VE would advise all our visitors at
Springs, who can, to make a trip to
Custer City. ;uster has the most beau
tiful location of any town in America,
and it would well repay any to make a
visit to that place. 1t is IA magnificent
drive from here to Custer. You have
rugged canyons, fine parks. extended
landscapes, lovely dells and grand old
forests all the way to Custer. Besides
if YOU go to Custer you are in the center
Of the richest tin country in the world.
Do not fail to see Custer"

will in any event be new, as the ex-

ton Of his self starred highness, but in
variably bring us a week in advance the

c%arelessly sent to Rapid, and once by

in fault, but that negligence is manifesto on
the part Of some mail official at the Gap,
is clearly evident, and If abuses Of this
kind are continued, We will undertake
to determine where the fault hes, and
put forth an effort TO prevent the re-
currence Of such abuses in the future.

Immense amounts of eastern and En-
glish capital are being invested in the
tin deposits in the Black Hills. That
tin exists in great quantity is now
known to a certainty. The subject has
been fully investigated by the most
skillful experts, and practical mining
has given actual demonstration of the
richness of the deposits. OF course
actual mining has Us yet been done only
on a comparatively small! scale. There
has not been time yet for complete de-
%velopment. The tin deposits nave only
just been fairly discovered. But tie
new era of practical development is just
beginning. The millions Of capital
which are now at hand for the work
will be sufficient to do it in earnest. Ii
is a sign of good omen for the Black
Hills country.-Sioux City Journal.
