DAWSON CITY, June 22,
DEAR FATHER:
Well, at last we are here, after so long
time Our trip down the river was
fine; he had no trouble at all. But
there were many accidents; lots of men
lost their outfits; boats we're dashed on
rocks and smashed all to pieces. Many
lives were lost along the river. We shot
'ethe White horse rapids all right. We
took nothing out of our boat. When we
came to the canyon we first made care
ful inspection and then we started and
got through all right.
We are going out tom orrow and look
over the mines. There was an immense
amount of gold taken out last winter.
They say there are twenty tons of gold
dust going out on the steamer tomorrow
and great many men are selling their
outfits so they can go down on this boat.
They come into town, look around, say
the country is no good, and then sell out
for What ever they can get and go back.
Five hundred boats have gone down the
river. They go as far as st. Michaels,
and there take the steamer for home.
This is tent town-tents everywhere
you look. There are about ten thousand
people in town and about that many
more up at the mines. There are men
walking the streets who do not know
what they came up here for. They
etand around and Iood at the hill side
to see if they can see any nuggets stick
ing out.
There are three sawmills here and
logs are worth fifty dollars a thousand
feet, but you have to give the govern
sne0t big share of the profit; the same
%Vay with the miners. The government
seems to want all of it. You can take
only one claim and when you have
worked that you must move or, so many
are going down to Circle City. If we do
not find anything here that suits us we
will go there, too.''

world goes, that the Indians chased buf-

the exposition stands. Now the chase is
after money and the Indian is on the re-
tired list. There is just as much hurry

rnaL motorcycle.
An event which has been awaited
with lots of interest and consuming
curiosity has been the arrival of the
motorcycle which Messrs Greenough
and Adams intend to run between
here and Rapid City says the Pierre
Free Press. The vehicle came in on
Fridays freight and Saturday ali
anxious and observant crowd hung
around the freight car in which it
was ensconsed, until the hour in
which it was to be taken out.
Harry Adams superintendent the
work, with plenty of volunteer help.
When planks had been placed from
the end Of the car to the ground,
and properly blocked up. Adams
started up the gasoline engine and
the machine moved ms jestically
down its improvised track to terra
firma, amid the plandits of several
hundred spectators.
When it had been safely landed
and backed around, all by the use
of it's own power and steering gear,
about thirty or forty men and boys
piled in and were given a novel and
hilarious initial ride down Pierre
street, at a speed faster than most
horses can trot. Then another
crowd was taken aboard and whirled
around the block, which act was re-
peated several times, until a party
was made for a trip to the Indian
school. three miles out.
In the evening excursions were
run to East Pierre, until on the last
trip, when the journal of the rear
axle, which had a bad flaw, broke,
leaving the machine standing near
the railroad crossing on Eight
street. Sunday the break was re-
paired and the vehicle was again IN
vociferous demand for rides about
town.
The motorcycle would be an object
of curiosity a%nywhere" in the world,
even in eastern cities, where horse
less carriages are becoming COM
mon. Probably not another con-
veyance it's equal in many respects,
outside of a railroad coach, was
every constructed. The wagon and
engine were built on designs by
Messrs Greenough and Adams, es-
pecially TO carry passengers be-
tween this city and Rapid City. 1t
was designed to carry as high as
twenty people il comfort, and travel
at a pace not less than fifteen miles
an hour, and on good roads at a
higher rate Ct speed. The tests
show that it is fully up to every ex.
pecation and will draw a big amount
| of travel to the Hills this way.
The wagon a built by the
Reeves Pulley Co., Of Columbus Ind.
It is l6 feet long, Z feet wide. 8 feet
2 inches high without it's top, with
five seats 5 feet wide, each capable
OF seating four persons. The engine
is gasoline 16 horse power, made by
the Wolverine Motor Works O.
Grand Rapids, Mich. 1t has thu
new Reeves speed-variable me

enables the operator to regulate the
speed from three to twenty miles al
hour, and which allows it to b.
geared TO greater speed. Ball ant
roller bearings are used throughout
A canopy top is provided, with sid
curtains, and the vehicle is highl,,

pearance.

a good living in the Black Hills to
stay with what they have. Meals
