sleeper into the city from the northern
Hills bearing the excursion party of
prominent mining engineers who had
come to the Hills from Duluth where
they held their annual meeting This
visit to the mining regions of the Hills
by such mining men and capitalists
was important to the Black Hills and
is likely to result in much good to this
section of country. The visit to the
vast mineral region of the Hills was a
great eye opener to these gentlemen

in visiting the Hills they found that
there are great opportunities here for
the profitable investment of capital.

the baths, the cool. invigorating atmos-
