new honor came to him, has been pro
NOTED to the rank Of major. This
may seem to be an empty distinction
for the chancellor of the realm says

At Lead City. which was quite a village
on account Of the placers and gold run,
there was no trouble from Indians, as 1t
was somewhat removed from the course
OF travel and protected by other settle
ments. After the ratification of the treaty
with the Indians, Lawrence county was
organized, and the governor OF Dakota
appointed the county officers. The county
took its name from John Lawrence, who
was appointed county treasurer. John
Wolzmuth at spearfish was among the
three county commissioners at that time
and Major Seth Bullock was the first
sheriff OF Lawrence county.
Most of the pioneers. who started in their
cabins and shacks. have now handsome
residences and are among the most promi-
nent business men Of the various COM
munities.
The Black Hills derived their name from
the heavy growth OF pitch pine covering
the mountains with it's dark foliage. The
valleys produce a great amount OF hardy
cereals IN comparison with their acreage.
Almost every ranch has a goodly bunch OF
cattle. In fact, most OF the ranchers in
these parts have been very successful and
built good homes.

miners or machinists during the week., but
on Sunday they would gather about them
a crowd, and the settlers would Join with
them in singing gospel songs, which would
be followed by prayer and a sermon. A
volume might be written on the struggles
of the churches in those days. Struggles
arising, not from opposition or Indifference
on the part Of the people, but from the
prevailing conditions and hardships Of
those ines. The first churches built were
OF humble proportions, but they have since
been replaced by larger and more elaborate
edifices. The first women's club organized
in the Black Hills was the Round Table
club of Deadwood. This took place Feb
ruary IA, 1887, with a charter membership
of five. Following the organization OF
the Round Table came the Thursday club.
the Culture club, the Woman's club and
the Twentieth Century club. all of which
are in Deadwood.
Club work among the women Of Dead
wood has come 70 be one OF the important
features of both the social and civic life,
for the different clubs, though originally
organized for purely literary purposes,
soon became wider in their scope. and
have been among the oriSinators Of many
OF the most important movements in the
city. The membership is large, all the
clubs being well organized, while the
character OF the work done Is such as
would be a credit to the clubs Of any CITY

shipped in one year from Belle Fourche.
Ii 1876 the first cattle were turned loose
on the ranges OF the Black Hills. Later
in the same year NJ. v. Boughton drove in
a herd OF 200 head, This herd was really
the first to be turned out upon the range,
and the same fall a band of Sioux swooped
down upon the cattle and drove them Off.
During the spring of the following year,
1877, however. the first big herd of cattle
was brought into the country, having been
driven over the trail from Texas. In 1880
several large companies drove their herds
to the Hills and selected ranges on the
streams flowing from the mountains. That
year every one who had money to invest
invested 1t in cattle, and the result was
that the range was overstocked. The coun-
try was an ideal one for cattle raising
when not overstocked the range afforded
food, water and shelter for hundreds OF
thousands of heads of cattle. the native
grasses furnishing more nutriment than
those OF any other section of the country.
For several years tn cattle men were not
disturbed in their possession OF the range
in this section. On the south and east
sides of the Black Hills the same condi-
lions exist as upon the north and west sides.
Gradually the farmer and small rancher,
with their wire fences and cultivated
fields, have driven the cattlemen farther
away from the Hills.
The first shipment OF cattle from the
Black Hills by rail was made from the
town OF Buffalo Gap, over the Northwestern
road. This shipment consisted OF but a
few thousand head and was made in 1886.
AS the road was extended to Rapid City
that year greater shipments were made
from Brennan A few miles below. which
remained the main shipping point until
in 1889. the road was completed TO Belle
Fourche. During the cattle shipping sea-
son OF 1902, there were shipped from Belle
Fourche 10000 head. valued at nearly &c.
100000. With the disappearance OF the
large herds which formerly ranged over the
valleys and the pralries adjacent to the
Black Hills, there has been no elimination
OF the number OF cattle In the Black Hills;
on the contrary. the number has increased.

The state Of South Dakota contains an
area 1900 square miles, of which about
1000 square miles lies west of the Mis-
souri, river. Western South Dakota, ex-
Guiding the Indian reservations Of the
Cheyenne ndian and Great Sioux nation,
embraces an area Of approximately 25,O0
square miles, and extends from the Mis-
souri, river to the state line Of Wyoming.
Western Dakota has a population Of
from $1,000 TO $4,000, which, at the present
time, is confined largely TO the area
known as the Black His, lying in the
extreme western part and extending north
and south a distance Of about 100 miles.
The chief industry OF this section is min
ing, but stock growing and agriculture are
carried on extensively. Mining viii un-
doubtedly continue to be one OF the chief
industries. but the~ region is capable OF
developing untold wealth in Agricultural
pursuits. 1t contains many millions OF
acres OF rich soil, which only requires
irrigation to make them productive, Many
OF its broad acres are covered with cattle
ranges. and vast herds OF sheep Craze on

Deadwood, as a manufacturing point, is
fast taking first rank among the cities OF
South Dakota. Large wholesale houses are
located here, and thei- asIezmen visit every

the manufacturing Industries are the Beat

These concerns are equipped to furnish
several thousand horsepower, and are rap

Of the mines and manufacturing institu-
