The whole prairie region bears the characteristics of vast erosive action carried on through the long ages of the past, during which an enormous amount of material has been cut away, carried down tbe Missouri, and spread out in the alluvial regions of the great rivors nd the Mexican gulf.

These Rapid City can Mipply No better climate could lie desired. The water supply is plentiful, healthful and delicious, and makes possible the beautifying of the homes by means of lawns, vines and shrubs. It also makes potmi bio the equipment of an cllicieut fire department which Injures the s.ifcty from destruction by (ire, of properly. Tim city is liKhted by electricity, tho an and incandescent systems lxing employed for hiiHiiHvn and private use. The pulilic schools of Rapid City are equal to any in the stale, and comprixe one of ths strongest reasons why hoine-Hockcrs should come hero to found a home.

Good buildings, excellent teachers and up to date methods are to be found here, and students bo ar graduated from the Rapid City schools are equipped for a useful and prosperous life. Four buildings are required to accommodate the number of children in attendance, divided into fourteen depart ment and presided over by as many ide awake aud progressiva instructors. At Rapid City is located the State School of Mines, a school planned aud equipped for imparting technics! knowl edge of mining, metallurgy aud engi neering. In addition to these branches literature, languages and a commercial course have been added. Practical field work is also taken up during ths sunt mcr A line new building is in course of construction, which, In addition to the other two, will give sufficient room to carry on all the linen of study neeea- sary.

Among tho business enterprises now under way the building of a SOO-ton siuoltor by the National Smelting Com pany, of Boston, Work has already been commenced and Is being pushed rapidly. The I'reemont, Elkhorn aud Mihsouri Valley railroad company is now putting in a spur from its main line to. the site of the smelter and both are to be finished by October 1. Now Is the time to get in on the ground floor, so to speak. Rapid City hss al ways been a good town and from now on will go forward at an unprecedented pace.

Rapid City has always been noted for ts line buildings. Of those the flneet the Floriuatinblock, a handsome three story brick. Tim Sweeney block and Harney Hotel, both of which are three story bricks, Lakota, Windsor, First National Bank, Pennington County IBank, Evans and Gardner blocks are other fine business blocks that would be a credit to cities many times the size of Rapid City, All kinds of business are well represented here, and no better or brighter business men aro to bo found in any city.

First publication, Oct 1 It is an old axiom that "what every body says trust be true," and everybody ys the Majestic stent range is tbe best Vou can luy them of the Tom Sweeney Hardware Company here and pottery clay is found in abun dance in the vicinity of Rapid City that has teen proven to be of an excellent duality Tbe climate of the Dlark Hills is sum clently varied to suit the tastes of almost any person or class.

Because of the equable tenijieratuw and pure air the climate is remarkably healthy. The growing season is somewhat shorter than sections of Iowa and Nebraska but small grains and corn and vegetables ripen be fore early frost and the richness of the soil of thia section is not to be surpassed in any section of the United States. With the aid of irrigation the yield can not be suroassed in any section. The products of the farms find a ready market and at good prices. There are yet several rat lions of acres of government land in the Rapid City district open to settlement under the homestead laws of the government.

While all acknowledge that all kinds of cereals and vegetables grow in abundance in the Black Hills there are many ho have contended that this is no fruit country. But the fact that in every portion of the Hills wild fruit is to be found in abundance, led fruit gTowere to ex periment and it has for years been demonstrated that the Black Hills is A fruit country. Apples, pears cherries, plums, grapes and berries of all kinds can be and are grown successfully as many nurseries and orchards in all parts of the Hills testify. To a settler in a new country no question is of greater importance than the purity and abundance of the water supply and in this respect the Black Hills is unequalled by any region in the great west. Clear cold and pure, impregnated in many instances with medicinal qualities, it is all that could be desired.

The springs of hot and cold water to be found in the southern portion, have a national fame second only to the Hot Springs of Arkansas, hundreds of people troubled with v-a. ru lentshave found this a Mecca ujuhI Carlsbad, Germany. The grazing of the Block Hills is un equalled. Nine tenths of the whole area is covered with a thick growth of the finest wild grasses. The gracing lands tributary to the Block Hills furnish the pasture for hundreds of thousands of cattle and there is shipped annually to the eastern markets between 3,500 to 8,000 car loads of the finwt beof cat tie that go to the eastern markets.

Severe winter are almost unknown and the losses of the cattlemen on this account rarely exceed three per cent of their holdings. Nowhere in the western country can be found finer grazing lands than are found in this section. No other country in the world can boast of so many varied resources as are to be found in the Black Hills. Here the mining, farming, graiing, lumber STATE SCHOOL and manufacturing industries furnish employment and sustenance for over fifty thousand prosperous and happy people. COCHTT Pennington county occupies a central position in the Black Hills extending eighty miles in length east and wtnt, by twenty north and sooth, and having an area of 1,600 square miles.

The runty is about equally divided into snoun tainoua and open country, the western portion extending into the heart of the mining portion of the Hills and the astern including the main valleys and plains. About half of the county is heavily timbered. Ona third of the great granite reion the of 411 IhUm If It 11' 'i physlchins, explaining your condition, and have to aav Our physi TN T(IF.

The immediate region occupied by the Black Hills constitutes a lofty plateau, with a mean elevation of from 5,000 to 6,000 feet above the sea, varying however, in its extremes, between 3, B00 and 8,400. It is a region of mountains, hills, rocks, ravines, canyons, gulches, streams and waterfalls, interspersed hero and there with beautiful and far-tile valleys and natural parks, generally clothed with a more or less heavy growth of timber, principally hard or yellow pine.

Other varieties of timber are found, among which may be enumerated burr oak, cottonwood, box elder, elm, black and white spruce, bakiam fir, white birch, American aspen, chokecherry, etc. The pine timber which largely predominates, is of such aiiw as to be most valuable for building and manufacturing purposes, and in all sections of the Hills are to be found large mills producing the best lumber at a very low price, in every section of the Hills the best of native lumber being produoed at about one-half the price the same lumber is to be had in Omaha and other extern markets In the 28 years that hav elapsed since the first settlement of the Black Hills, the enormous sum of over one hundred and thirty millions dollars have boon produced in gold alone. The annual output for the year 1900 was mhre of $10,000,000, which was an increase of $1,868,644 over the output of tne pre coding year. It is now predicted that with the recent discovery of rich mines in tho northern and central Hills the output for the year 1900 will at its lowest estimate exceed twelve million dollars. These estimates do not include the silver and copper that have been saved by the variouB processes of treatment of ores of the Black Hills, which was during the year 18 0 cetin-itai ti a mount to the sum of $1 500,000.

in ever portion of the mining region of the Black Hills the work of developing mints of exceed ing richness is being carried on with re nowed energy, while competent mining engineere at tfie present time estimate that there is fully twenty years supply of ore in sight to supply the various reduction planta now in operation in the Hills. The Black Hills region is remarkable for the abundance and variety of its mineral productions. Though only known to white men, with a few indi- VliTltttl c.oejjwons, since 1874, and rrom the settled portions of the IndUn reservation, it baa already developed some of the richest gold mine. in the world, and is known to contain in its broken hills and towering mountain, gold, silver, corner tie, galena, nickel, gmphite, mica ashestus, cobalt, antimony, iron. and about thirty ether varieties' of rich minerals, and mining men of year of mining experience have no hesitancy in pronouncing this the richest mining section in the world.
