PARADE AT NOON. Reserved Seats at Avery's. peared a three column writeup of the Black Hills by a woman signing herself "Amber." She was in the Hills some two or three weeks ngo at which 1 time she gathered material for the writeup. The only part of the "write-up" which was any good at all was a picture of Knife Blade rock on the Ft. Pierre railroad.

The balance of the three columns WAS a fake from start to finish. The article probably made yery interesting reading to people who never visited the Hills but to people who live here and are acquainted with the country the article was positively laughable. Here is what she said about Lead, which will give one an idea of what a fake writeup she had for which she probably got $1.50 per columa: Englewood I changed cars for Pluma, where I took another train for Lead City, the chief town of the Homestake mine. There is a free library, a town ball, no end of pretty homesteads, and a company store in this little city that displays goods as fine as any on Chicago counters Where I strolled Friday morning through Lead City streets the nightfall of the same day drifted snow ten inches deep. From Lead I took the train for Piedmont, where connection WAS made with the Northwestern for The Big BRICK STORE.
