up into the tens Of thousands Of square

north for about $50 miles from Fort

An authority says of the Bad Lands;
THE peculiar formation Of the Bad
Lands undoubtedly dates back to the
glacial period, for TO no other cause
can scientists attribute the immense
buttes and wonderful depresslons that
are the salient features Of the country.
The buttes or hills of which the Bad
Lands are mainly composed are OF ir-
regular size. varying from one acre to
1000 acres on the summit and from 100
to $50 feet in height. The tops OF these
buttes are on level with the prairie TO
the east and west. Here the soil is
good and the grass excellent. but along
the sides and in the depressions the soil
is a mixture Of clay and sand. with &C.
casional outcroppings Of soft sand
