Co., Mitchell, S. Copyright, 1913, by Edward K. - D. Mather, C. E. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -The possibility of motoring through various sections of the Black Hills -for pleasure and business has long been known. The idea is new, however, -of selecting good automobile routes to reach the larger cities and -points of scenic interest in this region, and of platting the same as a -guide to the stranger who may be easily lost amid the windings and -branchings of the roads in forest, mining camp or city. The strenuous -efforts of various localities and counties along these routes to improve -them during the last two years has made them now such as may be -travelled with pleasure. - -The natural scenery on a scale majestic in size, yet of readily -appreciated magnitude; the proximity of the primitive forest to the -noise and rush of the mining or industrial center; the strange thoughts -on realizing that here lies the richest tract one hundred miles square -on earth, all serve to make the trip through the Black Hills a memorable -one; even to him who has traveled far and near across ocean, desert -sands or broad plains in search of nature’s beauty spots. - -From a personal standpoint, the renewed vigor, and quieted nerves that -result from rest among such pleasant surroundings, breathing pure air, -laden with the odor of the pines, bathing in or drinking mineral waters -all make it a trip well worth while. - -It is hoped that to the stranger to the Black Hills region this book -will bring some idea of the pleasure and profit to be found amid such -surroundings, and that it will be an aid to him in the proper enjoyment -of the same. - -[Illustration: _GENERAL MAP_ _BLACK HILLS AUTOMOBILE HIGHWAYS_] - - - - -[Sidenote: CLIMATE] - - -Moderate temperature, winter and summer, abundance of sunshine and -clear, dry air make the Black Hills particularly desirable from a -tourist’s standpoint. The altitude ranging from 3500 to 8000 feet above -sea level. Absolute freedom from mosquitoes in many parts of the hills -and cool, dry nights make it an ideal country for camping. - - - - -[Sidenote: GAME] - - -In the wilder portions, bears, wild cats, wolves, silver foxes, and -other large game may be found. Special provision has been made for -re-stocking the Forest Reserve at frequent intervals with deer and elk -which, together with legal protection for these animals from December -1st to November 1st makes them very plentiful. Plover, partridges, -pheasants, grouse, ducks and geese may be easily had in season. Although -many kinds of fish are found in the mountain streams, trout are the most -common. The streams are restocked at frequent intervals from the -Government Fishery at Spearfish with Brook, Locklaven, Speckled and -Rainbow trout, so that fishing will continue to be one of the leading -diversions of the pleasure seeker. From November 1st to May 1st when -trout fishing is prohibited in South Dakota, the sport may be continued -across the line in Wyoming where no such restriction exists. - - - - -[Sidenote: SOUTH DAKOTA LAWS CONCERNING AUTOMOBILES] - - -Residents of other states using their cars in South Dakota will not be -required to re-register their cars in South Dakota providing they have -complied with all laws regarding registration of automobiles in the -state from which they came, and providing such state extends a similar -privilege to South Dakotans. - -Automobiles must be driven in a careful and prudent manner, at a rate of -speed such as not to endanger the property, life or limb of any person, -provided that a rate of speed in excess of 25 miles per hour is -presumptive evidence of driving at a rate of speed which is not careful -and prudent, in case of injury to the person or property of another. -Local authorities may limit speed to a rate of 10 miles per hour -provided proper notices or warnings are placed in the public highway -indicating such limitation of speed. - -The raising of the hand, by anyone who is leading, driving or riding a -horse or other draft animal, as a signal to stop shall cause the driver -of any automobile thus signalled to, to stop his car until the danger of -frightening such animal is past. - - - - -[Sidenote: DEADWOOD] - - -Perhaps the best known city in the Northern Hills is Deadwood, the -center of the industrial and mining interests of this section. Most -excellent hotel and garage accommodations, its convenience to -surrounding points of scenic interest, and a general spirit of genuine -western hospitality toward all will continue to make it a most popular -tourist center. Although high in the Hills it is connected with the -plains outside by a good road of easy gradient. - - - - -[Sidenote: RAPID CITY] - - -At the point of entrance to the Black Hills from the east, Rapid City -has become a leading industrial and railway center. Good hotel and -garage accommodations make this a pleasant stopping place in the -foothills. The trip westward into the Hills along Rapid Creek to Pactola -by auto, or by rail to Mystic, should not be overlooked by any tourist -in this territory. - - - - -[Sidenote: SPEARFISH] - - -Spearfish is located on the northern margin of the Hills, close to the -mouth of Spearfish canyon, to Sand Creek, to Higgins Gulch, Crow Peak -and other fishing and hunting resorts. It has good hotel and garage -accommodations, and is visited by thousands of tourists each year. - - - - -[Sidenote: BELLE FOURCHE] - - -Twenty-eight miles north of Deadwood and close to the 100,000 acre -government irrigation project is a thriving county seat town of 3000 -population. It has been a noted shipping point for those interested in -cattle and sheep raising in years gone by and is now becoming the -principal center of business for the adjacent irrigated districts. - - - - -[Sidenote: WHITEWOOD] - - -A thriving village at the point of entrance into the Hills which will be -remembered by the tourist going by rail or auto to Deadwood, Lead, -Spearfish or other points in the northern Hills. - - - - -[Sidenote: HILL CITY] - - -This has been one of the leading towns in the heart of the Black Hills -district since the early days of the Black Hills history. Numerous tin, -mica and other mines and considerable rich agricultural land are found -near here. About 45 miles from Deadwood, Rapid City and Hot Springs it -is a convenient stopping place for tourists travelling through this -territory. - - - - -[Sidenote: THE HOMESTAKE MINE] - - -The largest gold mine in the world, employing an average of 3500 men and -producing from $5,000,000 to $8,000,000 worth of gold bullion per year, -has its principal properties and mines at Lead. - -The Elliston Hoist, the largest now operated by the company, is 1850 -feet deep. The 1200 H. P. hoisting engine with its hoisting rope, a 7¾ -inch by ⅝ inch flat laced steel cable weighing 7 pounds to the foot, -lifting a load of 10 tons, not including the weight of the cable from -the bottom of the mine to the surface in a few seconds, is an -interesting sight. Nearby are two air compressors, one delivering air at -80 pounds pressure for the use of rock drills and other machinery; the -other compressing air to 850 pounds pressure for use of compressed air -haulage motors. - -Across the gulch the drill sharpening shop where 3000 drills are -sharpened each day, and the foundry and machine shop are points of -interest. The noise of operation of the stamp mill night and day, 365 -days in the year make its location easily determinable. Here 240 stamps -each weighing 900 pounds and dropping at the rate of 90 times per minute -crush to a powder 1000 tons of ore each 24 hours. To each ton of -powdered rock is added 2400 gallons of water which wash it over the -silver plated copper plates. In another building it is re-ground, and -the coarsest portion or sands sent to the Cyanide Plant. Here solution -is accomplished by the addition of potassium cyanide, and the gold then -precipitated by the addition of zinc dust. The finer portion of the -powder or the slime is piped to the Slime Plant at Deadwood, where the -gold bearing powder is caught in filter presses and the gold then -extracted as before. - -The Homestake Pumping Plant at Hanna, 6 miles from Lead, and the -Hydro-electric plant at Spearfish, 15 miles from Lead, furnish the water -and power used in the Homestake properties. The Hydro-electric Plant is -the largest of its kind in the Hills. The water is carried in a tunnel 5 -miles long from the river in Spearfish Canyon, at a point 8 miles from -Spearfish, to the reservoir on top of the ridge overlooking and directly -south of the city. The three surge towers, on the pipe lines leading -from the reservoir down the 700 foot drop to the power plant, may be -seen for many miles. - - - - -[Sidenote: SPEARFISH CANYON] - - -There is probably no other scenic place in the Black Hills which has -been given as much attention by tourists, photographers, and magazine -writers as Spearfish Canyon. The Royal Gorge in Colorado, the Palisades -of the Hudson and many other points of national scenic wonder may be -found reproduced here on a scale perhaps less grand, but making up in -beauty all that is lost in magnitude. Good automobile roads traverse -long stretches of this canyon, entering it from Deadwood, and from -Spearfish as platted herein. It is anticipated that in a few years the -road will be made suitable for auto traffic the entire length of the -canyon. - - - - -[Sidenote: CRYSTAL CAVE] - - -Crystal Cave, in the Northern Hills, is resplendent with stalactite and -stalagmite formations and is quite different in general structure from -Wind Cave. During 1913 it is expected that the construction of a new -road from Deadwood will make this cave accessible to automobile -tourists. - - - - -[Sidenote: SYLVAN LAKE THE NEEDLES HARNEY PEAK] - - -One of the most interesting places in the Hills from a scenic point of -view is located about midway between Deadwood and Hot Springs. Harney -Peak, the highest point in the Hills from which can be seen four states, -the hundreds of Needles, some rising as much as 500 feet in cathedral -tower like grandeur, the great varied vistas, and the quiet beauty of -Sylvan Lake surrounded by monstrous rock walls and pine clad heights, -all bring to one the realization of the real wonder and beauty of -nature. Excellent hotel accommodations at Sylvan Lake makes this region -justly popular as a tourist resort. - - - - -[Sidenote: SAND CREEK] - - -This is a typical Black Hills stream in Wyoming close to Deadwood and -Spearfish. The fact that Wyoming laws allow trout fishing at all seasons -of the year makes this stream the rendezvous of the fisher both summer -and winter. - - - - -[Sidenote: WIND CAVE] - - -One of the great sights of this region, in many respects excelling the -famous Mammoth Cave of Kentucky, is Wind Cave. Over 200 miles of -passageway and many thousands of rooms have been explored, some of these -over 600 feet below the entrance. Yet, apparently neither the bottom nor -the sides of this cave have been reached. The great abundance of “frost -work” and “box work” in many forms make this cave unusually attractive -and interesting. Guides will take parties into the Cave each day at 9:00 -A. M. and 2:00 P. M. and occasionally at other times. - - - - -[Sidenote: HEALTH RESORTS] - - -As a health resort the Southern Hills have gained a National reputation. -A sanitarium for treatment of tuberculosis patients has been established -by the State near Custer, 29 miles north of Hot Springs. At the latter -city is the State Home for Old Soldiers, and the Government Hospital for -Disabled Volunteer Soldiers and Sailors. Also numerous private -sanitariums, for the treatment of various maladies, which are filled -throughout the year. - - - - -[Sidenote: HOT SPRINGS] - - -The city gets its name from the hundred springs near there which give -out large quantities of water at a temperature of 98 degrees F. or -warmer. The water from these and from certain cold springs have been -found to contain unusual mineral elements very valuable in the treatment -of rheumatism of all kinds, nervous complaints, indigestion and -intestinal disorders, pulmonary affections, diseases of the urinary -organs, gout and skin diseases. Particularly noticeable have been the -curing of parties affected with rheumatism. - -Besides the small swimming pools at the various sanitariums, two immense -pools have been constructed which are centers of attraction during the -summer months. These are the “Evans” and the “Mammoth Springs Plunge,” -both of which are enclosed in large buildings, and contain individual -dressing rooms and all other possible conveniences. - -One of the largest and finest equipped hotels in the state is located -here. - - - - -[Sidenote: EDGEMONT] - - -Edgemont is a busy railway division point on the C. B. & Q. Ry. It is -located on the Cheyenne River southwest of the Black Hills. To those who -have seen the prairies of eastern South Dakota, the Bad Land and Black -Hills formations, a new type of topography is presented extending to the -south and west of Edgemont. - - - - -[Sidenote: THE BAD LANDS] - - -East of the Black Hills, and within easy reach, is scenery, somewhat -mountainous in nature, yet very different from anything in the Black -Hills or in other mountainous regions. To anyone who has not travelled -the “Scenic Highway through South Dakota,” a two days trip eastward from -Rapid City over this road is well worth while. - -The tourist enters the Bad Lands near the town of Scenic, 45 miles east -of Rapid City. From this point the next 50 miles is in the midst of some -of the strangest and most wonderful scenery known. Broad grass covered -basins are dotted with bare rounded hillocks or great irregular shaped -buttes and ridges. Along the northern border of this region and much of -the time within sight of the road is “The Great Wall” several hundred -feet in height, appearing against the sky line to be a succession of -domes, towers, pinnacles and precipitous walls and gulches. The soil -varies in color through the shades of white, buff, yellow, red and -green. The valleys and flat plateaus on the tops of the ridges or buttes -are usually grass covered while the slopes stand out most prominent -because of their sheer height and nakedness. It is a scene that cannot -be properly described; strange and wonderful in the extreme. At first -seemingly grotesque, then strangely beautiful, impressions are left on -the mind that will never be forgotten. - -Pictures and more detailed description of this region, also a complete -guide of the road from Rapid City eastward will be found in our “_Map -and Guide of the Scenic Highway through South Dakota_.” - -No tourist should leave the Black Hills until this trip has been taken -either by automobile or rail. In either case he should go as far east as -the towns of Interior or Kadoka, and actually go through Cedar Pass -which is five miles northeast of Interior. - -[Illustration: _Auto Roads in the Black Hills._] - -[Illustration] - - - - - RAPID CITY - - -Rapid City, the gateway to the Hills, lies on Rapid Creek for which it -is named, midway between its source in the Western Black Hills and its -mouth, where it empties into the Cheyenne river. Its location is ideal -from the standpoint of natural environment embracing, as it does, the -rugged backbone of the hills and a foreground of rolling prairie. In -early days pioneers were quick to see the natural advantages of the -location for a town and their selection proved the later choice of -railroad engineers, who have made it the central point for two great -systems in western South Dakota. Four distinct lines radiate from Rapid -City, viz: The Omaha division of the Northwestern providing connection -with Deadwood on the North and the great South and Southeast. The Pierre -division running to the state capital and Chicago. The Milwaukee has its -terminal here. It runs southeast through the Bad Lands, the only -railroad traversing this Wonderland of Nature, and on to Chicago. The -Rapid City, Black Hills & Western has its headquarters in Rapid City, -and is one of the most wonderfully constructed railroads in the country. -It follows Rapid Creek west to Mystic, about thirty-five miles where it -connects with the Burlington system. This is called the “Scenic” route -of the Hills and affords tourists one of the grandest of pictueresque -views to be had in the world. It is Colorado and the Grand Canyon in -miniature. - -[Illustration: _Rapid River just West of Rapid City_] - -Located as it is in a country blessed by nature Rapid City provides more -amusement to lovers of the out door life than most cities. With a -climate ofttimes as equitable in January as that of Southern California -and with rainfall usually confined to the spring months out of door life -finds here its perfect environment. The nights, owing to the altitude of -nearly thirty-two hundred feet, are always cool, there being few in the -hottest of the summer months when blankets are not needed. The absence -of dew makes camping a delightful pastime and there is trout fishing, -for those who enjoy the gentle art of Isaac Walton, as good as the -country affords anywhere. Deer are plentiful in season and game birds, -including grouse, partridge, quail and duck, are plentiful enough to -make it worth the while of any follower of Nimrod. - -Rapid City itself being thus favorably located is the center of business -activity radiating east as far as the Missouri river and west, north and -south to the boundaries of the Black Hills. It has the three requisites -of a progressive and up-to-date growing city—first-class hotels, a new -up-to-date theatre and a live newspaper. From the city all of the -interesting points in the Hills can be reached by railroads, or by -automobiles over roads which are being constantly improved. - -[Illustration] - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - Stop With - - Canfield Holcomb & Co. - - While You are in Rapid City - - Best Equipped - - Repair Shop and Garage - - In the Hills - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - - Full Line of - Accessories and Tires - Prest-O-Lite - Machine Work - Auto Livery Service - - - Agency for the Famous Overland - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - The New Harney - - RAPID CITY.

It bears the distinction of being the greatest primary cattle market -in the world. Its trade is drawn from the ranges of Montana and Wyoming -as well as the fertile valleys of South Dakota. It is surrounded by -beautiful valleys which extend to the foot of the Bear Lodge and Black -Hills. From the first cattle town in the state it has grown to be one of -the first cities of the state. Its citizenship is progressive and its -business men are working for the best interests of the community. It has -one of the best hotels in the state and its public buildings would be a -credit to a much larger community. It is the gateway to the Belle -Fourche and Spearfish valleys. The diversion dam of the Belle Fourche -Irrigation Project is almost within the city limits. This dam diverts -the water from the Belle Fourche river into the great reservoir covering -over 8000 acres of land and holding over 200,000 acre feet of water. -This water is held by the largest earth dam in existence, being in -height 115 feet and over 6000 feet in length and retaining sufficient -water to irrigate 100,000 acres of land. This dam is one of the marvels -of the age. It is worth one’s time to visit the same. The Spearfish -valley is older in irrigation and has an abundance of fruit. Within six -miles of Belle Fourche is the largest natural water power plant in the -northwest, where the power for the great Homestake mine is generated -from the waters of the Redwater river. A beautiful highway logged herein -connects Belle Fourche with all the valleys and the famous trout fishing -streams of South Dakota as well as the picturesque Sand Creek of -Wyoming. In order to reach these streams in the most acceptable manner -take the logged highways from Belle Fourche. - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration: FARM SCENES IN THE BELLE] - -[Illustration: FOURCHE IRRIGATION DISTRICT] - -[Illustration: 67. “Belle Fourche Irrigation Reservoir,” largest earthen -embankment in the world, 115 feet high, 1⅛ miles long, faced with -concrete Blocks, irrigates 100,000 acres, Western South Dakota. $50,000 -Irrigation Diversion Dam, Belle Fourche, Black Hills, S.

B. & Q. -system. - -It is the deep well town of the United States, having one well flowing -400,000 gallons of hot water every day, with a pressure of 90 pounds at -a depth of 2988 feet and another well in course of construction now 2835 -feet deep. - -To the north of the town lie the celebrated Black Hills, the Forest -Reserve, and a few miles away is the great Wind Cave, and government -park, soon to be stocked with buffalo and elk. - -East, south and west of the city lie great belts of rich agricultural -lands now in course of development. A short distance from the town is -the government Experimental farm, where all kinds of seed and methods of -cultivation are tried out for the benefit of settlers. Government land -can be secured within a few miles of the city. The city has four -churches, seventy businesses represented, one of the finest school -buildings in the state, with a competent corps of teachers, a large -garage, 50 by 120 feet, containing all the latest machinery for -repairing autos, including the new autogenous welding machine, an -immense bridge over the Cheyenne river, admitting of travel the year -around. - -Twenty trains leave Edgemont every day, among which are six passenger -trains—four of them trans-continental, fully equipped with all -conveniences for the traveling public. - -The finest melons grown in any country are produced here and are in -competition with the Rockey Ford product of Colorado. - -The Fall River County Fair Association has its headquarters in the city, -possessing one of the best race tracks in the state. Several thousand -dollars will be expended upon this proposition the present year for the -accommodation of exhibitors. - -For business locations and pleasure, Edgemont has few equals. The town -is the official gateway to the Black Hills for the Denver to Deadwood -auto road. - -[Illustration: _Fall River Falls_ Log furnished by Hot Springs -Commercial Club] - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - - - - - MEMORANDA OR EXPENSE RECORD - - - - - - - - - - - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - - EDWARD K.
