Owing to the overcrowded condition of our local

Numerous political circulars flying about town
have been waited up into WoMAN's CHRONICLE
office. One deals in ward politics and bad gram

ken of woman kind.
The new Orphans Home is a large commodious

Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1888-03-24

Early this week there was a tranfer of
100 acres of decided land lying about six
miles from Buffalo Gap. The land does
not look to be ofany value. 1t is rough
and broken and badly cut up. And yet,
beneath the worthless looking exterior
are vast lodges Of marble. The pur-
chase is in the interest Of a strong com
pany formed in n of the best cities in
the west. The same company owns sew
eral undeveloped marble quarries in the
vicinity of their decided land. They
have plenty of money and there will be
no stock for sale.-News.

The Sioux Reservation.

Now that there is a very certain pros
pect that 4 large tract of land in the
Sioux reservation is to be opened for
settlement, reliable information con
corning the country will be eagerly
sought. Probably no man living is so
well acquainted with the region between
the Missouri river and the Black Hills
as Fred L. Evans, sr., Of this city, He
was a pioneer in the great transporta-
ton business that commenced when the
Hills first attracted the attention Of
miners. AS early as 1875 he took a
train Of freight through, which was the
initial enterprise of what 0 grew into
an immense traffic. For nine years Mr..
Evans superintendent the transfer of
supplies from Missouri river points to
the different supply depots in the min
ing region, and in that time he traversed
the reservation by a number of different
routes.
"As | understand it," said Mr.. Evans
to an inquiring Journal reporter. "the
territol y now proposed to be opened to
settlement is the tract lying between
the White and Big Cheyenne rivers,
and reaching west to the south fork of
the Cheyenne. 1t is about 10 miles
long on the south side and l2O on the
north, bordering on the Missouri for
nearly 100 miles and 80 to GO miles in
width at the western extremity. This
gives an area of some 10000 square
miles.
There are two considerable streams
emptying into the Missouri and flowing
from west to east through this territory
between the White and Cheyenne.
These are Bad river, which is about the
size and length Of the Floyd, and the
Yellow Medicine, which resembles
Perry creek. The water in all these
streams is muddy in appearance, like the
Missouri, but sweet and healthful for
man and beast. There are quite ex-
tensiye belts Of timber along the White
and Cheyenne, and occasional groves of
cottonwood III the other streams.
I'm my Judgment 50 per cent Of this
territory is susceptible Of cultivation.
Portions are somewhat broken, but for
the most part it Tolls Just enough for
drainage. The valleys are very rich
and the table lands also have a fine deep
