The recent excursion to Deadwood
and the upper Hills was most enjoy
able trip to those who participated in
it. There were about forty-three
persons in all and they speak in the
highest terms of the pleasures of the
trip. The STAR is quite glad that the
railroads have concluded to give these
excursions and that when a party has
been made up it is only necessary for
them to confer with the local agents of
either line and they can secure the one
fare rate for the round trip-s52O,
which enables them to see the upper
Hills country at nominal expense.

for her visitors, but the novelty of a
trip to the great mining regions of the
Hills, with their immense smelters and
reduction works, and the beautiful
scenery along the way, makes days
outing that will never be forgotten, and
will venture that no party of visitors
coming here in the future will fail to
take the trip. We are sure the people
of the upper Hills will receive this
news with pleasure and will do all in
their power to make those who 20 on
these excursions have a pleasant and
profitable trip. We congratulate
