1t is fact well known that the
the June flood played havoc with
the road leading to the Seven Noun
tains, used by the hunting frater-
nifty. The road is in such condi-
ton that it can't hardly be made
passible, therefore a new route has
been surveyed and located by j. +.
Fetterolf, Robert and Ner M. Mid

and at least three miles shorter than
the old route was. The new route
starts at a point several hundred
yards east of the upper saw-mill

northwest direction up to what is
known as Little Gap, thence through
said gap, along the foot of the north
side of Jacks Mountain and inter

Dear Tom, your item of a few

How the City of Sundance First
Came into Being.
FOUNDED BY HARDY PIONEERS
A Thriving Place Which is Making
the Most of the Advantages Con-
ferred by it's Superior Nat
urai Surroundings.

SUNDANCE, Wyo., May 2S.-[Special
to THE BEE. Some fourteen years ago
in the early days of the Black Hills
discoveries it was considered unsafe,
even suicidal for individuals to venture
beyond the pale of the stockade. Many
are the horrible tales of Indian outrages
perpetrated uDon the early prOspector
who dared to venture out in search of
the precious. metal. EARLY in these
days it became known that to the west
and northwest of the hills, in Central
Wyoming there existed some fertile
valley lands with abundance of water
and rare indications of coal, petrole-
um' etc The temptation was
too great for the progressive
American frontiersman and prospector
to withstand, and numerous parties
would put out with all the perils and
blood curdling reports and former mas
sacres staring them in the face, with q
determination of reaching the promised
land. Party after party succumbed to
the knife and tomahawk of the blood
thirsty savages, but undauntcd by fail
ure, the noble prospector succeeded in
penetrating the very heart OF the red
mans paradise, the spot where
history tells us the noble reds
would come at different times
sun dances. 1t proved unquestionably
to be the garden spot of the great un-
explored ''land OF the free and home of
the brave" Here in the midst of this
fniry land the prospector pitched his
tent about twelve years ago. The place
is now called Sundance, beautiful an
thriving little village of 800 or 900
people, situated about sixty miles due
west of Deadwood, Dak., in Cook
county, Wyoming. The nearest rail
way station is Whitewood, the terminal
station of the Fremont & Elkhorn Val
ley railway.
Sundance has perhaps one of the most
brilliant futures of any young city in
the northwest. 1t lies at the base OF
the south end of the Bear Lodge range
OF mountains and bordered on the east,
west and south by as fine and rich valley
land for agriculture and stock raising
purposes as ever could be found. 1t has
in its near vicinity vast quantities OF
coal and ever-fowing wells of pure pc
troleum. 1t has as fine a water power
Tor cheap manufacturing purposes as
can be found on the continent. There
are inexhaustible quantities OF large
timber near at hand, and Bear Lodge
range abounds in mineral wealth. Some
very rich gold discoveries are within
six miles OF Sundance, with plenty of
water for operating mills, etc. Small
grains, wheat, oats, corn and barley
are the principle products of the val
leys and the acreage will compare iay-
orably with that of iowa, Illinois, In
diana or any OF our best grain produc-
ing states, while the quality of the
grain is, If anything, superior.
The citizens Of Sundance are like the
prospector who discovers n nugget of
gold; he knows he has "A good thing

MEXICO CITY, May 25.-[Special to
THE BEE. Mexico is supposed to be
protestant country, in fact the law says
the people shall be protestants if they
wish to vote. This state of affairs was
brought about some years ago by Presi-
dent Benito Juarez, the Indian ruler,
who destroyed all the converts and
monasteries iu Mexico, appropria ating
their treasure to the uses of the govern
meut, and there are those who say he
kept a large slice for himself! Be this,
however, as it may the Holy Scriptures
were introduced into the republic, the
Baptists sent in the first missionaries,
some of whom were promptly murdered
as san example to intruders." The
people remained at heart Roman catho-
lies, while the soldiers went about
shouting: "Tras la cruz esta ell dia-
bio! behind every cross turks the
deviD.
One has but to see this city on Sun
day to realize that this part of Mexico
is by no means protestant. On the
Paseo de la Reforma are 5000 vehicles
of various degrees of elegance, filed
more brilliantly attired children. On
horseback, bright with such trimmings
none but Mexican cabolleros wear, are
500 or 600 horsemen. The entire length
of the asphalt boulevard nearly three
miles, soldiers in the fullest of full
dress uniform are stationed. mounted
on magnificent horses, most of them Jet
black. They are but fifty feet apart,
and are on both sides of the drive. On
.,tl Il til. +.
wide, is throng of well-dressed peo-
Pile; nine in every ten of the ladies wear
silk and sport fine diamonds. 1t is a
scene such Us no tourist, though he may
travel the whole world over, will ever
see duplicated, save here, where he
may behold it any Sunday when the
weather Is clear enough for bull-fght.
Quite different is the scene at Guada-
loupe, four miles from the city, whittier
we drive from the gay Paseo, by one of
the causeways of stone built by the
AZtecs years before the landing of
Cortez on those shores. To the Mexi-
cans the shrine of the Virgin of Guada-
loupe is the holiest spot in the world.
The story of this magnificent
cathedral is marvellous enough to be
told again, and its truth is vouched for
by some OF the most eminent scholars of
the republic.
STORY OF A CATHEDRAL.
In the year 1881, according to the re-
cords Of the church, Juan Diego, poor
and ignorant Indian was making his
way to the city to early mass. Descend
ing the Hill he was met by the Blessed
Virgin who commanded him to speak to
the bishop of Mexico, in her name, and
tell him to build a church on that spot,
just at the foot OF the hill. The bishop
at that time was the very famous Zu-
maraga-known to archeologists as the
priest who destroyed many OF the finest

OF the plucky Bean boys at the head of the

in his arm, is now carrying that helpless
member in sling. More arrests will prob
ably be made,
The strange thing about this outbreak is
the fact that such men as some of them are,
should engage in such an affair. Some of
them are among the substantial farmers
men never suspected of entertaining a
thought of taking the law into their own
hands to redress either faucied or real
wrong. One of them, Mr. Davis, has even
presumed to preach the gospel of peace, and
has professed holiness for himself About
a dozen farmers are under suspicion, and
the sheriff is carefully investigating the
case. He will probably be ready to have a
preliminary tral held on Monday.
